This repository contains code for the 21 Recipes for Mining Twitter (O'Reilly, 2011.) As the name of the title suggests, it's a short cookbook of recipes that's designed to help you solve common problems when working with Twitter data. Some of the recipes are extracted from content presented in Mining the Social Web while others are completely new additions. In either case, they're designed to be bite-sized and serve as the jetpack that you can strap onto that great Twitter mining idea you've been noodling on -- whether it's as simple as running some disposible scripts to crunch some numbers or as extensive as creating full-blown interactive web application.
