[Air-L] Deepwater Horizon oil spill tweets?

[Glen.Fuller]

HI Peter,

Does the student need more than can be accessed via Twitter's advanced search through the native web app?
https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3ABP_America%20since%3A2010-04-19%20until%3A2010-04-30&src=typd&lang=en  

No tweets on day (at least, none that remain in archive).

For few days before spill began through rest of year:
https://twitter.com/search?l=&q=from%3ABP_America%20since%3A2010-04-18%20until%3A2010-12-31&src=typd&lang=en  

Tweet IDs can be collected using simple scripts (I've used Outwit Hub for various projects). http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1329878X18766081?journalCode=miad  Then follow Benjamin Sugar's method for rehydrating. (Thanks!)

The Starbird et al paper suggests there are up to 20k tweets per day to the #oilspill hashtag which is too much volume for this scrape-ID method to use as a way of doing repeated searches delimited by a sequence of adjacent date ranges. The upper limit I've found is around 2500 tweets per day using OWH.

Cheers,
Glen

Friends,

I'm seeking the BP tweets on the day of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, for a student of mine. Does anyone happen to have them?

Thanks in advance, Peter
