Twitter

Project Introduction

As one of the most important social networking service today, Twitter has more than 500 million users (As of May 2015) posting their issues on it. Quite a part of them are weathervanes from all kinds of areas, while another part of them are the ordinary people.

Twitter database is like a coal mine. There is a digitized, verbalized world inside. By tracking the twitter database, we are able to tell different stories. How different users related to each other? How a piece of news or an important person influence the whole world? How do people feel about a person or a new policy?

There are unlimited possibilities within the database. And our mission is to dig the possibilities within these data and tell meaningful stories.
