On Twitter
A few days ago I reset almost all of my primary Twitter output since 2007.
First, I made archives to revisit some prior analysis.
Next, I started looking around on GitHub for inspiration.
Little Big Data
A few years ago I did a big data presentation. There was even a video of it. (Update: the video appears to be private as of 2022)
At the time, I had downloaded some R examples to run against my Twitter archives.
Why archives? I tweet(ed) a lot. So, the limitations on web access applied.
I included some of these references in the presentation.
Trends: @Qthrul
This time around I found another example using Python:

A few seconds later… this caught my eye for @Qthrul:
It is clear that functionality arrived (retweet) and that I was interactive (replies).
Trends: @JayCuthrell and @JayAtDellEMC
But I had also created other Twitter accounts.
Let’s take a look at @JayCuthrell:
Let’s take a look at @JayAtDellEMC:
I’ll revisit this post as I come across more tools with good results.
Update for July 2022
Crypto Reply Spam on Twitter in 2022 got pretty annoying before the “correction”. YMMV.

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Apple’s first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
