Thanks everyone for your valuable suggestions. Thanks Anja, Stu, Jacob, Lauri and Joan ! I have tried and looked at all your suggestions. What fits most to my research requirements is DiscoverText and NodeXL. I am still doing some trials with both of them to decide the best one for me but I have a good understanding now of their functionality and of other software tools. I would love to help anyone with this if you ask. On Tue, Aug 5, 2014 at 11:30 AM, Anja Bechmann <anjabechmann@gmail.com> wrote:

Dear Professors and colleagues,
I am starting a research using facebook data. I am newbie in this area and looking for a software or a way to automatically extract historical facebook data from (Arabic) facebook pages.
Data needed include: - posts; - comments; - date &time of posts and comments; and - some information about people that post and comment (for example: name, gender, age, location,...etc as much as we can get).
I tried NodeXL. It helped me collect much of these requirements but not the *date/time *of posts and comments and this is crucial for my study. I aim to study a social phenomenon and its evolution through time.
*Can anyone advice or suggest another software?*
I appreciate your advice/comments, Thank you all, Yours, *Noha A.Nagi* Lab assistant,Faculty of Economics & Political Science,Cairo University _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org
