[Air-L] Archiving Facebook Group Posts

Hi Michael,

The SocialMediaLab package would be highly suited to this kind of data collection, providing you don't mind a little bit of programming :)

My colleague Robert Ackland and I have written an "Absolute Beginner's" guide for SocialMediaLab. You might find this helpful for getting started, particularly if you have little (or zero) programming experience:

All the best for your research!

Subject: [Air-L] Archiving Facebook Group Posts

Hello,

I am a Master's student in sociology at the University of Geneva in
Switzerland. I am currently working on research involving a Facebook group
as a sort of virtual ethnography.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any researchers who work with archiving
Facebook group discussions. I am looking for a way to better facilitate the
archiving of my data, as I planned on creating a corpus based on 6 months
of discussions within the Facebook group.

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Please respond
offline to michaeljdeml at gmail.com.

Best wishes,

Michael Deml
