Suppose you had access to every undeleted Tweet in history, but it was about to end, and you could pick any 3 days, and any set of hashtags, or other keywords, to create a dataset with educational and collaborative research value for years to come, a dataset that will be nearly impossible to create (for free) after October 1. 1. What three days? 2. What valid premium Twitter rule (up to 2048 characters)? Send your ideas (soon) to info@texifter.com and we may just be able to get that data, store it for posterity, and sponsor your research group with free software for a year. We are more than a bit sad to report the likely imminent end of an era serving largely academic researchers with historical Twitter data: https://mailchi.mp/b038af1b77f1/major-changes-to-sifter-september-29-2018-up... In the meantime, there are some ad hoc international groups forming right now to study three datasets we have already created: a. #metoo (October 15-17, 2017) 234,993 Tweets b. #cuéntalo (April 27-28, 2018) 521,748 Tweets c. #balancetonporc (October 15-17, 2017) 239,715 Tweets If you, your class, or your college want to join the international group of multilingual scholars working collaboratively on these datasets, please send an email to info@texifter.com. We are sponsoring any student or class that is working to advance our understanding of the global #metoo movement. ~Stu -- Dr. Stuart W. Shulman Founder and CEO, Texifter
