Twitter Census: Publishing the First of Many Datasets | blog.inf. As useful as the Twitter API is, developers, designers, and researchers have long clamored for more than the trickle of data that service currently allows. We agree — some of the sexiest uses of data require processing not just all that is now, but the vast historical record. Twitter doesn’t provide the only use case for this, but until now its historical bulk data has been hard to find. Today we are publishing a few items collected from our large scrape of Twitter’s API. The data was collected, cleaned, and packaged over twelve months and contains almost the entire history of Twitter: 35 million users, one billion relationships, and half a billion Tweets, reaching back to March 2006.
The initial datasets are a part of our Twitter Census collection. The first dataset, a Token Count, counts the number of tokens (hashtags, smiley’s and URL’s) that have been tweeted. These datasets are only views from the massive collection we have been growing over the last year. World Bank public data, now in search. DataSF - DataSF - Liberating City Data. Factual.
