[Air-L] Searching for Mentor: Twitter API//Data Collection

[Ian O'Byrne]

Hi Heather and all,

I second Alette's indication that the FutureLearn course on social media
analytics is awesome.

I'm also in the process of learning/teaching myself a bit more about social
network analysis this semester/summer to look at Twitter (and other data).
I'm definitely not a mentor, but I would be interested in teaming up with
you (and perhaps others) to form a research work group. I think having a
group of people studying, working, and writing about this together is
helpful. We could create a small space online where we learn...and teach
one another.

Let me know if you'd be interested in a collaborative like this.
- Ian
