Hi, and welcome back after Facebook.
We will go through Twitter from a nose and resource
perspective. Just when you look at politicians and
governments. A lot of communication is being done through this
platform. Twitter is like a microblog service
and that is probably the main feature
of it. Now again, me with the
fun fact, but I think it is relevant to better.
Understand services and techniques. We apply to
these services for all sent investigations. This
is a little bit older number. I figure it
can now only be a higher value. The
total number of tweets sent per day, in
2018 was over 500 million.
Even then that that is a lot.
Okay. So we said Twitter is
a microblogging service that limits most posts to
280 characters. It
is based on following other users to see what are they
announcing through Twitter? Maybe they want to
share some thoughts how they feel, what
is happening and so forth. The Twitter premise
is very simple, share. Small chunks of
your life for all your, you all your friends
or followers. See, I won't get
Into the psychology of people, why this need
even exists, but I would recommend checking
this topic as well. Currently Twitter is
not that strict on the rules for creating an account, but
I would recommend almost the same ideas as
for the Facebook account creation.
And first would be, do not use a VPN always
use a clean browser without cache and cookies and
use a proper real email
address.
Now, regarding the search has a good. Starting point is the Twitter's
building search option, located on the twitter.com, slash
search, hyphen, Advanced
Link with this search.
You can look up specific people with specific keywords
and locations. The only problem with
the search is that the results are mostly 7
to 10 days old. So, if you are looking for
some reason, Twitter data, this this is a
good starting point.
Also, as other search engines have their search operators to
refine your searches Twitter also has
those operators. They are
Two column from
column quotations.
Since column and until column.
As you can see, this can be very handy.
If you know at least some additional information about
some event or person that you are researching for
an example. If you know you
are looking for Tino shock each in
quotations. I'll take until some specific. Then
you would probably acquire the data with no
problem additional tools that I would like to mention
our
Oh, my tweets dotnet. This is a cool web tool
where you can view all public. Tweets posted
by any Twitter account on one page. After
that, a Twitter tool called followed dot Min
fo LL. ER, me,
whose purpose is to do the
analysis of the Twitter public account data,
like profile information number of tweets and
followers and so forth after Faller.
We have
Have the tool called tweet map that
is located on the address ominous i.com. That's
omn is see
i.com slash demos
/, tweet map. This
is a cool tool that can check tweets location and
you can compare that to the posts or tweets match
with the person's real location. And
the last tool that I would like to recommend is slipping
time dot-org.
Well, this is rather an interesting approach to investigating people
who use Twitter by using an
exact Twitter profile name. You can learn the average time
when the Twitter users sleeps. I
think the initial intention of this site was having some fun.
But as you can see, it can be
quite useful with when you encountered
this data in your investigations.
Okay, now that we have covered it Twitter and
on and hope you will get some new ideas for further
investigating that social platform. Now, we
are going to cover a few great online resources for acquiring information
in regard to LinkedIn,
paste bin. And of course,
we will mention some other social networks. So,
see you in the next video.
