#BeingMaryJane

I am in Cambodia right now for a student project. Yesterday was too busy so I didn't have time to download any tweets. I collected a few tweets today and here is the analysis!

Today's hashtag was #BeingMaryJane. I had no idea about this show and so it was good to know that it existed and a lot people like it. You can read more about the show here:

Anyway, the wordcloud is here. Maybe you will know more about this if you are already a fan of the show!

And here is the sentiment graph. The sentiment is positive but not a lot.

#SanBernadino

Update: Check the companion wordcloud for this here Even as I write this, the events are still unfolding in San Bernardino. Two or possibly three gunmen killed 14 innocent people. You can read up more here: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/03/us/san-bernardino-shooting.html or here: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-san-bernardino-shooting-live-updates-htmlstory.html Anyway, the most trending hashtag is misspelt! It's worth noticing that at this point NRA was quite common. This is because up to this point people were blaming NRA for the tragedy. This has changed since I downloaded the tweets, however! The sentiment for the hashtag is surprisingly neutral. I say surprisingly because now the hastag has become very toxic as the shooters are identified as Muslims. Suddenly there are so many xenophobic comments that I am sure the sentiment would be quite negative now.

#The Bachelor

I had watched a few episodes of The Bachelor over the years. By few I mean 2-3. So I know what the show is all about. Today the hashtag #The Bachelor was trending and I decided to use it for the wordcloud. Right off the bat there were a few things I didn't quite get because I don't watch the show. What is Lace and Ben? Or, rather who are they? Well, you can read up more about them here:  http://www.inquisitr.com/2681778/get-to-know-lace-morris-of-the-bachelor-2016-with-ben-higgins/  According to this article, Lace Morris is the girl everyone on the show is gonna hate from now on. I didn't find anything strange about her though and she comes across as a regular The Bachelor contestant. Take a look: Anyway, here is the wordcloud and the sentiment graph. The sentiment is not as positive as I expected but anyway.

#io2016

Google's largest annual event - the I/O conference - is taking place right now. You can find more news about it on Techcrunch or other tech blogs I have around 32K clean tweets for the analysis. I was interested in knowing which Google products get most mention. I didn't use Google in the wordcloud because it would be obviously the most commonly used word. Well, as it turns out Android is the most popular product that was discussed in these tweets. Allo is the new chat app that Google introduced to take on iMessage. Overall sentiment was quite positive but there were still around 18% negative tweets. These could be because of Google invited people to suggest what its next version of Android should be called. It starts with N so basically it was open to a lot of racist jokes.
