13th-17th February 2017

After falling slightly behind our initial schedule, we met with our supervisor (Ray Walshe) last Friday to discuss how to proceed with our project. After a successful meeting, we managed to kick ourselves into gear and divided up some work to be done individually. As it stands, we have managed to access the Twitter API and gather a number of tweets from the public stream and make these tweets readable by implementing the json package. Whilst this was being done, Ina was working off a controlled batch of tweets in order to try and create the basic tree-like structure which will be needed to represent our results. This is just our first blog post to try and get into the habit of keeping up with the progress that we make.
