suggestions for Twitter aggregating & analytic tools
Dear Colleagues, I was wondering if anyone can suggest particular tools for aggregating and analyzing Twitter content. What are the best tools for gathering tweets (by hashtags) and for analyzing activity (by these hastags)? Appreciate any suggestions. Best, Erica Ciszek Doctoral Student Graduate Teaching Fellow School of Journalism and Communication University of Oregon eciszek@uoregon.edu
Erica, I have listed a few options (not exhaustive) below depending on how customized you would want your algorithm to be. The options further down in the list will require higher level of effort but provide greater control and specificity on the output. Clarabridge Rapidminer R (tm.plugin.sentiment) Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) with Python larabridge is the only one that is a fully commercial product. The rest of the options are open source solutions that need to go hand-in-hand with some licensed packages. For example, NLTK is open source and free. However, you will also need access to a lexical resource like SentiWordNet (http://sentiwordnet.isti.cnr.it/) - this is free for non-profit purpose, may incur cost if we want to use it in a client setting. There are free versions of R and RapidMiner that can be downloaded and used, though using this might need additional coding.

Heyo, Arizona State University has put together a tool for aggregation & performing basic analytics called TweetTracker.

I just started using a tweet collection server called 140dev: http://140dev.com/free-twitter-api-source-code-library/twitter-database-serv... It's really quick & easy to set up on a LAMP server, and it drops all the data into a MySQL DB for easy querying. It doesn't include any additional analytics functionality I don't think. ~DEEN On 9/28/2012 10:36 AM, Pete[r] Landwehr wrote:

I would also like to point out that your choice of collection/analysis tool will depend on whether you need direct access to the data. Generally speaking, it is my understanding that unless you collect the data yourself (or pay an authorized reseller like Gnip for it), you aren't allowed (by Twitter's TOS) to "handle" the raw data--you can only view aggregate statistics and analytics. To do systematic Twitter data collection at scale, a web server is almost always required. ~DEEN On 9/28/2012 1:04 PM, Alex Leavitt wrote:

Hi Deen, That is not the case in our experience. The ToS limits what you can do via an API, but is more liberal with what you do via a "Save as". As long as you don't syndicate or share what you capture, you can save as .CSV or XML and use the data in other software for analysis. We worked through this in shaping our ToS to ensure we aligned with Gnip and Twitter. ~Stu On Fri, Sep 28, 2012 at 2:49 PM, Deen Freelon <dfreelon@gmail.com> wrote:

Generally speaking, it is my understanding that unless you collect the data yourself (or pay an authorized reseller like Gnip for it), you aren't allowed (by Twitter's TOS) to "handle" the raw data--you can only view aggregate statistics and analytics. To do systematic Twitter data collection at scale, a web server is almost always required. ~DEEN

What are the best tools for gathering tweets (by hashtags) and for analyzing activity (by these hastags)? Appreciate any suggestions.

I meant to send this before, but I really think what you are looking for is 140kit.com The tool you need totally depends on your research questions, desires, goals etc. But 140kit, developed by fellow AoIR human Devin Gaffney, is a great tool for wisywig collection and analysis for people who are not particularly technically inclined. Of course, most things won't beat writing your won program to suit exactly your needs, and running your own analysis from the ground up; but, if that is out of the question for you. Check out 140kit. For real. Z On Sep 28, 2012, at 10:12 AM, Erica Ciszek wrote:
