Hurricane Florence Twitter Dataset – Better Twitter Interface?

Filed under: Data,Tweets,Twitter — Patrick Durusau @ 3:56 pm

Hurricane Florence Twitter Dataset by Mark Edward Phillips.

From the webpage:

This dataset contains Twitter JSON data for Tweets related to Hurricane Florence and the subsequent flooding along the Carolina coastal region. This dataset was created using the twarc (https://github.com/edsu/twarc) package that makes use of Twitter’s search API. A total of 4,971,575 Tweets and 347,205 media files make up the combined dataset.

No hyperlink in the post but see: twarc.

Have you considered using twarc to create a custom Twitter interface for yourself? At present just a thought but once you have the JSON, your ability to manipulate your Twitter feed is limited only by your imagination.

Once a base archive is constructed, create a cron job that updates base. Not “real time” like Twitter but then who makes decisions of any consequence in “real time?” You can but its not a good idea.

While you are learning twarc, consider what other datasets you could create.
