The following R scripts were used to compile and analyze data from the Twitterstorm that resulted from this tweet:
get_tweets.R- compiles and cleans replies and quote tweetsget_network.R- creates social network based on common friends of users involved in the Twitterstormanalysis.R- performs analyses using outputs fromget_tweets.Randget_network.R
I wrote a blog post about my analysis of the Twitterstorm.
A streamlined version of the data for this project is available on figshare, including the raw tweet data, cleaned tweet data, and social network data.
