Deepwater Horizon oil spill tweets?
Friends, I'm seeking the BP tweets on the day of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, for a student of mine. Does anyone happen to have them?

HI Peter, Does the student need more than can be accessed via Twitter's advanced search through the native web app? https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3ABP_America%20since%3A2010-04-19%20until%... No tweets on day (at least, none that remain in archive). For few days before spill began through rest of year: https://twitter.com/search?l=&q=from%3ABP_America%20since%3A2010-04-18%20unt... Tweet IDs can be collected using simple scripts (I've used Outwit Hub for various projects). http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1329878X18766081?journalCode=mia... Then follow Benjamin Sugar's method for rehydrating. (Thanks!) The Starbird et al paper suggests there are up to 20k tweets per day to the #oilspill hashtag which is too much volume for this scrape-ID method to use as a way of doing repeated searches delimited by a sequence of adjacent date ranges. The upper limit I've found is around 2500 tweets per day using OWH.
