twitter bleg
How can I send an old tweet to myself as an email? In other words, if I see a tweet from last year from a buddy, how can I send it to my email account?

Jacob: I mean send the twitter as text, not the URL.

I don’t understand — does copy and paste not work?
You can email tweets directly from Echofon/Twitter apps for iOS, I think.

I want to scrape a tweet for content analysis. Problem: the text of the tweet does not appear in the HTML code. The content is called.
Possible solution: email the text of the tweet to myself.

The API is best for that stuff, but for a single tweet, it looks like you can find the text in the div with class “tweet-text js-tweet-text.”

My workflow relies on html because I’m too lazy to learn the API.

Also, I don’t know what you’re talking about that “the text of the tweet does not appear in the HTML code.” Try this little experiment, read a tweet, then “view source” and command-F to find the text you just read. I guarantee you it’s somewhere in there.

@gabriel:
Try it yourself. “View source” shows that function that calls the tweet.

fabio,
i did try it on my end and it worked w the URLs I had
can i see the URL you’re using?

Ah, I see the problem. Tweets that start with a user’s name do not have the raw text of the tweet in the source.

This R code should get most of your tweets and store them in an R list object:
install.packages(“twitteR”)
library(twitteR)
fabio <- userTimeline('fabiorojas', n = 450)
Substitute user name as needed

Or perhaps this tool, which allows for lists and allows filtering by keywords: http://listimonkey.com/

The power of blogging! We (my student and I) will try these to see what works.
