One of my projects is funded by NIH, and it sponsored (read: paid for) a group of 15 of us software developer types from 10 different organizations across the country who are working on the project to get together last week in Las Vegas, NV to conduct a two-day hackathon. We split into three groups, and my group produced some rough, ugly, but working Python and R code.
The Python code conducts keyword searches on archived 1% Twitter API data, filtered to only search only those tweets that have valid geolocation data. The short piece of R code calls a Google map API and plots the data on a Google map in a browser, allowing the user to click on the geolocated map points to view the originator's tweet text. Our next step will be to replace the R code with Python for calling the Google map API. Here, it's ugly, but it's free. Don't say I never gave you anything. --Doug -- *Doug Roberts [email protected]* *http://parrot-farm.net/Second-Cousins*<http://parrot-farm.net/Second-Cousins> * <http://parrot-farm.net/Second-Cousins> 505-455-7333 - Office 505-672-8213 - Mobile*
