List of Potential ideas #2
Description
Hey everyone!
I thought I would add the ideas that were sent to us.
Potential directions for the tweet project
Overview: who (media, gov., utility, business, eyewitness, other individuals, etc.) is tweeting what at different stages of the hurricane
-- topic analysis
More specifically, for example,
- Identify the information useful/actionable for infrastructure/utility;
- Indirect impacts of the hurricane: looting, price gouging, pet abandoning, etc.;
- Social (poverty and justice) issues discussed/implied in the hurricane tweets;
- How actionable information diffuse in tweets, and how emotional information diffuse in tweets; any positive outcomes or practical uses?
- Citizenship in hurricanes: how civilians get involved at different stages of the hurricane; what information they provide? Informative? Actionable? Relief efforts? Emotional support?
- Which type of information/news is distributed the most at different stages of the hurricane;
- The value/reliability of using twitter data in revealing the extent of damage, calling for support? Any issues related specifically to low-income neighborhoods?
Leave a comment if you all have any inclination towards one of these!
