So, the question is: Are the sentiments of birds that tweet a random sample of the sentiments of birds that breath?
I confess I do find interesting the question of how one extracts a sentiment from a tweet! N From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Aaron Perls Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2011 4:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [FRIAM] Capturing Tweets I was wondering if anyone on here has, or is familiar with, capturing large numbers of twitter tweets and how one would go about doing it. I need about 30k tweets, 10k from three different regions. It looks like there should be relatively simple way to do this. I've been making my way though this: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-api/methods#count but haven't found what I'm looking for. What we're hoping to do is a type of sentiment analysis, and look at how that compares to some polling data taken from these regions (I have a feeling what we'll find, but the project itself is interesting). Any insight is appreciated, or if anyone might have an interest in collaboration on the project.
