Notes and Limitations
• Twapperkeeper relies on #hashtags• Problem if #hashtags are inconsistent/unclear• Follow-on @replies and retweets may not continue to use
#hashtags• Casual commenters may not use #hashtags in the first place• May miss early developments – e.g. #hashtag standardisation
• Twitter as a subset of society:• Broadband policy and Internet filter over-, asylum seekers
underrepresented• #hashtag use is a further sign of self-selection• Need to look to Twitter firehose for more comprehensive picture• Need to track baseline activity to understand how exceptional
#ausvotes was
