Twitter Interesting Facts Project

 

For my final project in the 466 class, I'm going to build a website similar to the website http://www.whendidyoujointwitter.com/. However, my website will display interesting fact about your Twitter account. Here are some of the fact I'm planning to include in the website:

- How many fake people "bots" follow you.

- Your average tweets per day.
- The words most often used.
- And more to come if time permits.

I know many of you may be questioning how I'm going to figure out, what constitutes a real person vs. a fake person that follows you. Since, the time constraint that I have to finish the project on time, I will use a basic algorithm where it will look the frequency of daily tweets, plus the frequency between tweets to figure out if a real person is actually writing the tweets.

The purpose of this final project is to gain more in depth knowledge of the Twitter API and use that to create an interesting and fun website that shows interesting facts about each Twitter account. For now, I'm going to host the website on UWT repos servers. If I see any potential from this project, I might consider getting hosting and buy a domain. I will put some ads in the website so, that hopefully it pays for the hosting.

As for the technical part of the project, for now, I'm just going to use JavaScript. The reason I'm using JavaScript is that since it is a client-side language, and therefore I do not have to worry if the servers at school support it.  If I find a language that is server-side and is supported by repos servers, I'll consider using it. Hopefully, I can use Python.

Milano, Italia

Here I continue with some of the cities that I would like to visit. Milano, Italia is in the north part of Italy and one of the world's capital of fashion. Milan, is home to two of the most important teams in Italy and the world, AC Milan and Internazionale Milano. Personally, I like AC Milan and I would love to go to one of their home games at Stadio Guiseppe Meazza. But not only Milan is capital of fashion and soccer, but it is a beautiful place to visit.

Barcelona, España

One of the places that I really want to visit and is in my list of cities I must go, is Barcelona. I have meet several people who have visited the city and they can only say wonderful things about it. It is a city that has it all, night life, beach, great people, weather, food, and most of all the best soccer team in the world F.C. Barcelona. I'm a huge fan of their soccer team and I barely miss any of their games on TV. Probably one of my biggest dream is to watch them play at Camp Nou, with a full stadium and playing a Champions League game. Here is a video of a full stadium singing their team anthem against team rivals Real Madrid.

I had the priviledge to watch them play and practice when they came to play the Seattle Sounder a few years ago.

Well, this is the first of many cities that I plan to visit and I will be posting more cities in future blogs to come.

Last two quarters....

Before I can plan any trip as I mentioned in the past post I have to focus in my current classes. Currently, I'm taking Client/Server Programing, Computer-Mediated Communications, Managing Organizations and Consumer Marketing. Then on the summer I'm taking one 15 credit intensive French class. I must say that so far I'm liking all the classes I'm taking and I look forward to learn some sexy French.

I'm enjoying my last two quarters of college education, I must say that time has gone very fast. I still remember my first day of classes @ UW Seattle like it was 2 months ago.














Traveling Commmunication

What is next?

The big question "??" What I am going to do after I graduate? I can do the easy thing of finding a job, but no that is not what I want to do after I graduate. Before I settle down in a job and also forming a family there is one thing I want to do before that. I want to travel around the world. Yes, that dream we all have, but only a few actually make it a reality. I do not want be part of that statistic of frustrated dreams. I have been saving for over 3 years for it with my cousin. But I'll leave the details of the trip for a future blog post, as for now I'm going to work on my homework.
