[Air-L] social media analysis

[chamil rathnayake]

Hi Helen and Sukaina,

I'm a PhD candidate in Communication and Information Sciences at University
of Hawaii. If you're familiar with programming, you can use a python script
to scrape facebook data. If not, I would use  the social plugin available
for the NodeXL template.

Best,
Chamil
