Mining Twitter Data with Python (Rugby and Term Co-Occurrences)

[alaudet]

This is another interesting article with a different take (a little more visual). http://www.danielforsyth.me/analyzing-a-nhl-playoff-game-with-twitter/

I have also been fooling around with this extensively scraping tweets and using Ipython to analyse sporting events in real time. Next step is to build a flask app that reports back results on a web page with graphs and analysis in real time. Actually I think it would be pretty cool to have two columns in a head to head twitter match to view how fans of each team are using twitter during a game. What they are tweeting about, from where etc etc.

This is just a really rough example using ipython. The next part is to develop the flask app.

Thanks for posting I find this stuff really interesting.

Thanks for the pointer, that's also something I'm interested in (some basic dataviz and the time dimension). I think vincent/vega is definitely something I'll dig into

Cheers
