Thanks for the recap of the tweets. Just curious, what tools did you use to analyze the stream?
No problem. It’s just the early findings as I’ve downloaded all the tweets and will do a content analysis on the 10 hour flight home later. So do check back on the blog over the next couple of days. Source is primarily from an API built during my PhD but I also looked at data collected via SMMT Sysomos Heartbeat, however all stats were validated manually early Saturday morning.
Thanks for quick response. Have I asked this before, have you seen Martin Hawksey’s work with Twitter curation and analysis? http://mashe.hawksey.info/2011/11/twitter-how-to-archive-event-hashtags-and-visualize-conversation/
No problem. Oh yes I have seen this, thanks 🙂
Outstanding stats Makayla! Will be feeding these stats back to the CSUN staff. Thank you!
That’s great to hear 🙂
Just so you know, I plan to do a full content analysis of the 4,000+ tweets. So please return to the blog post in about 48hours as further stats and understandings regarding the conference will be available.
This is all very interesting.
Just curious why I was not listed as in the other users section. Could it be you don’t have all the data?
Look forward to seeing the final analysis.
How many tweets did you send? as that was a summary of the next 30ish top senders in order. I plan to break it down further so can examine this. Regarding data nothing is prefect but I have now verified this list using two other techniques/sources and it appears correct.
My mistake, I did not realize this was just the top. Again, the stats are very interesting, thanks.
