#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.

#Oscars 2016

All the rage for the last 2 days was about Oscars. I tried to download a few tweets earlier but got some server error several times. Finally it worked yesterday and here is the wordcloud. No surprise there that Leonardo Dicaprio got so much attention on Twitter. This was his 1st Oscars after having nominated six times in the past! Only a few more names pop up with his name in the wordcloud. There is Lady Gaga and then Chris Rock, who was hosting the awards ceremony. Chris Rock opened with a controversial monologue but unfortunately I couldn't locate a clean video. It seems that they have pulled it off different networks. Here is an article that tells you what happened: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/oscars/12175247/chris-rock-academy-awards-oscars-jokes-monologue.html

#PanamaPapers

Perhaps by now you must have heard about the biggest news of this year. A Panama based company Mossack Fonseca which helped create shell companies to many rich people around the world in order to do legal as well as illegal things (hiding taxable income, corruption money, etc.) sprouted a major leak. More than 11 million documents amounting to 2.6 TB were leaked to journalists. You can read everything about this here: http://panamapapers.sueddeutsche.de/en/ The size of the leak is enormous! Here is a graph for comparison: In light of this #panamapapers hashtag has been trending today. I downloaded more than 200K tweets but only around 34,000 were original and rest were retweets. Here are the wordcloud and sentiment graph

#SanBernadino Update

This is an update on the San Bernardino shooting. When I created the last post , I had downloaded the tweets before the shooters were identified. People were blaming NRA for the shooting. Now that the killers have been identified as Muslims, suddenly Twitter is blaming all the Muslims! Well, that's reflected in the wordcloud: The sentiment is still neutral though.
