#JeSuisAhmed
Had some time last night to do some exploratory analysis on some of the #JeSuisAhmed collection. This analysis is from the first tweet I was able to harvest #JeSuisAhmed to some time on January 14, 2015 when I copied over the json to experiment with a few of the twarc utilities.
First tweet in data set:
#JeSuisAhmed Reveals the Hero of the Paris Shooting Everyone Needs to Know by @sophie_kleeman http://t.co/0Et9Wh7Pbf via @MicNews

If you want to experiment/follow along with what I’ve done here, you can “rehydrate” the data set with twarc. You can grab the Tweet ids for #JeSuisAhmed from here (Data & Analysis tab).
% twarc.py --hydrate JeSuisAhmed-ids-20150113.txt > JeSuisAhmed-tweets-20150113.json
The hydration process will take some time. I’d highly suggest using GNU Screen or tmux, and grabbing a cup of coffee.
