Australian Twittersphere

Viewed: 52

The Australian Twittersphere is a longitudinal collection of tweets from a periodically updated list of Twitter accounts that were identified as Australian (i.e., have a stated connection to Australia in the free text fields of the account profile). Since its establishment six years ago, over 1.9 billion tweets have been collected from more than 1 million Twitter accounts considered to be Australian. The earliest tweet captured was posted on 9 January 2007.
