Re: [Air-L] Software to extract content of Facebook & Twitter
Many thanks for all your messages and suggestions. I'm now checking all the messages. I'll test the tools you have proposed and I promise to share which is the best option to extract these data from Facebook! Cristina Aced 2014-08-27 12:52 GMT+02:00 Shulman, Stu <stu@texifter.com>:
DiscoverText has been connected to the Facebook Open Graph API and the Twitter Search API since 2010. Here are some reasons to test it for collecting Facebook or other social and related non-social data:
- there is nothing to install - use it in a browser - pull data in from a variety of sources, including SurveyMonkey directly via an API - keystroke human coding is fast and connects to other human coders via a peer network - measurement tools developed open source in 2007 for inter-rater reliability and adjudication of coder disagreement (CAT) - search, filtering, and bucketing capabilities - automated duplicate detection and near duplicate clustering - machine learning classifiers that help sift out irrelevant data to 'clean' social data sets - patent pending "CoderRank" technology for enhanced machine-learning - free for the first 30 days https://www.discovertext.com/Home/TrialRegistration
We are also in the last week of the final drawing to win 1,000,000 historical Tweets and a year's worth of Enterprise grade software worth more than $15,000. It takes about five minutes to beta test the free historical Twitter estimator "Sifter" (http://sifter.texifter.com) and then enter: http://bit.ly/1pGuUJo.
These are high-grade tools for text and metadata developed in a research lab specifically to improve measurement.

Hello all,
I am looking for software that facilitates the extraction of content of Facebook pages. I am doing a research about how a sample of companies are using blogs, Twitter and Facebook. I want to apply content analysis but previously I need to extract the content.
I am using R and the software OutWit Hub Pro to scrape the data on blogs and Twitter, but they are not working properly with Facebook (I think it is due to some restrictions of Facebook's API).
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks!

Cristina, please do ;) I'm also looking/testing a few tools to see what would be better for my research. Add digital footprints to your list: very nice, but has data limitations :( Enviada do meu iPad
