I suspect, correct me if I'm wrong, that if you buy the data from this companies, they can tie you to a contract not allowing you to share the data. I can't contribute with much, but would give something if in the end the data could be open for everyone. <br /><br />I would like to add that I can't agree when you say this is the cost of using a free service. If Twitter was a paid service, you wouldn't have a guaranty you could access the data. I believe the problem here is the fact Twitter is a closed, proprietary service. Actually, if Twitter was free software, you probably wouldn't have this problem. <br /><br /><br />As a side note, I tried to make this comment in the mobile version of your blog and it didn't let me, had to change to the desktop version. I'm using Firefox in Android. paula simoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09637726402202926780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962447465856397284.post-86956011213056006032013-03-29T15:50:54.056+00:002013-03-29T15:50:54.056+00:00Or pressure Twitter for an academic licensing sche...Or pressure Twitter for an academic licensing scheme?

But when reading your post it occurred to me that the Library of Congress archives tweets, and makes them available for research purposes though only on site. Having a friend there might come in handy, and would be a cost effective solution, wouldn't it?Zsolt Almásihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494166377675082889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962447465856397284.post-3115670094082941292013-03-28T20:16:52.734+00:002013-03-28T20:16:52.734+00:00Sounds like a perfect #digitalhumanities kickstart...Sounds like a perfect #digitalhumanities kickstarter. :)Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05471638893026789406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962447465856397284.post-13840482692967476782013-03-28T20:16:03.110+00:002013-03-28T20:16:03.110+00:00#DigitalHumanities Kickstarter? :)#DigitalHumanities Kickstarter? :)Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05471638893026789406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962447465856397284.post-51128392809547561492013-03-28T16:22:29.092+00:002013-03-28T16:22:29.092+00:00My Digging Into Data project was trying to do the ...My Digging Into Data project was trying to do the exact same thing, recently, and came to the same monetary issues.
