[Air-L] Tools for Twitter

[María Isabel]

Dear Colleagues,

On September 26 we have parliamentary elections in Venezuela and Twitter has
become one of the arenas of political struggle so we want to capture the
most of the posts’ statistics  from Venezuela. Comscore published that
Venezuela is one of the leaders in Twitter usage  but statistics about the
country’s usage are not available as we would like.
