[Air-L] suggestions for Twitter aggregating & analytic tools

[Deen Freelon]

I just started using a tweet collection server called 140dev: 
http://140dev.com/free-twitter-api-source-code-library/twitter-database-server/

It's really quick & easy to set up on a LAMP server, and it drops all 
the data into a MySQL DB for easy querying. It doesn't include any 
additional analytics functionality I don't think. ~DEEN

>> larabridge is the only one that is a fully commercial product. The rest of the options are open source solutions that need to go hand-in-hand with some licensed packages. For example, NLTK is open source and free. However, you will also need access to a lexical resource like SentiWordNet (http://sentiwordnet.isti.cnr.it/) - this is free for non-profit purpose, may incur cost if we want to use it in a client setting.
