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 and a
free API 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 with the new
pageview API!
Cheers,
