The digital notion of “public”
Folks do things in publicthat they’d rather not see
made more public.
…and the Internet is forever

Sorry, no #ows today.
We’ll need another topic.
Let’s talk about selecting one.

@somelabresearchSoMe LabSocial Media Lab @ UW
Selecting a topic
Largely an issue of time
Time may encourage aninductive or deductive
approach

Selecting key terms
Key terms are strings, that when matched, tell the Twitter API to give you the matching tweet
Extremely generous (to a fault):Matches @-mentions, text within the tweet,
within a URL within the tweet,

Now you try!
What are the public’s interactions on Twitter
surrounding the fiscal cliff?
Focus on two questions:How do you go about the process of finding keywords?
Which keywords did you select?
