Hi Brenda,

I started collecting data using TAGS. Currently, it is working fine I think
with specific links as well as the domain.
The search for specific links started working when I removed http and
started the link from www.

Thanks for the article Stu. I have been looking for some information on how
different methods of data collection on twitter affect the data I collect.
So as you said it is timely.
