Twitter Friends and hashtags ---------------------------- Context ======= This datasets is an extract of a wider database aimed at collecting Twitter user's *friends* (other accound one follows). The global goal is to study user's interest thru who they follow and connection to the hashtag they've used. Content ======= It's a list of Twitter user's informations. In the JSON format one twitter user is stored in one object of this more that 40.000 objects list. Each object holds : - avatar : URL to the profile picture - followerCount : the number of followers of this user - friendsCount : the number of people following this user. - friendName : stores the *@name* (without the '@') of the user (beware this name can be changed by the user) - id : user ID, this number can not change (you can retrieve screen name with this service : [https://tweeterid.com/][1]) - friends : **the list of IDs the user follows (data stored is IDs of users followed by this user)** - lang : the language declared by the user (in this dataset there is only "en" (english)) - lastSeen : the time stamp of the date when this user have post his last tweet. - tags : the hashtags (whith or without #) used by the user. It's the "trending topic" the user tweeted about. - tweetID : Id of the last tweet posted by this user. You also have the CSV format which uses the same naming convention. These users are selected because they tweeted on Twitter *trending topics*, I've selected users that have at least 100 followers and following at least 100 other account (in order to filter out spam and non-informative/empty accounts). Acknowledgements ================ This data set is build by Hubert Wassner (me) using the Twitter public API. More data can be obtained on request (*hubert.wassner AT gmail.com*), at this time I've collected over 5 milions in different languages. Some more information can be found here (in french only) : [http://wassner.blogspot.fr/2016/06/recuperer-des-profils-twitter-par.html][2] Past Research ============= No public research have been done (until now) on this dataset. I made a private application which is described here : [http://wassner.blogspot.fr/2016/09/twitter-profiling.html][3] (in French) which uses the full dataset (Millions of full profiles). Inspiration =========== On can analyse a lot of stuff with this datasets : - stats about followers & followings - manyfold learning or unsupervised learning from friend list - hashtag prediction from friend list Contact ======= Feel free to ask any question (or help request) via Twitter : [@hwassner][4] Enjoy! ;) [1]: https://tweeterid.com/ [2]: http://wassner.blogspot.fr/2016/06/recuperer-des-profils-twitter-par.html [3]: http://wassner.blogspot.fr/2016/09/twitter-profiling.html [4]: http://twitter.com/hwassner
