[Air-L] Twitter Scraper

[Maurice Vergeer]

Dear Dominique,

please look at this site (http://socialmediadata.wikidot.com/) for an
extended list of social media tools. Many are stand alone applications and
some are packages within another software environment. Some focus on
tweets, while others on networks. Depending what you need one or the other
might serve your need.
Because your project seems issue related, a tool using the search API for
hashtag sampling seems most appropriate. I use yourtwapperkeeper
(standalone on a linux machine) and streamR in R (windows Mac or Linux).
The benefit of using a package in R is that R you can use R subsequently
for further analysis. But it's a steep learning curve, but definitely pays
off in the long run.
