[Air-L] ScraperWiki

[Sanjay Sharma]

Hello Roya

For collecting (and analysing) tweets, you could try the free Chorus
software: http://www.chorusanalytics.co.uk/
It runs as standalone software in a Windows-based environment - no
server required. And it can collect tweets from individual users (as
well as search terms including hashtags etc).

For an example of how Chorus has been applied to a project exploring
racialized hashtags, see:

> Hi all -
>
> I'm doing a research project at Bowdoin College and trying to use ScraperWiki to gather tweets. ScraperWiki makes it very easy to gather tweets from all users on Twitter, but I'm looking to limit the data set to specific users. Is there a simple way to do this? If not - is there another program that will collect the data in a more streamlined way?
