Hi wikiresearchers and apologies for the slight off-topic posting;
I think some people on this list might be interested in knowing that we
have just released a set of interactive tools
<http://osome.iuni.iu.edu/tools> and a free API
<https://market.mashape.com/truthy/osome> to query a large historical
sample from the Twitter stream (70 billion tweets, 2010-ongoing) [1].
We hope such a tool could be useful to researchers and the people
(journalists, citizen scientists, etc). For example I'd love to see a
mashup of the trends tool <http://osome.iuni.iu.edu/tools/trends/> with the
new pageview API <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/PageviewAPI>
!
