Weekly Update 4

What we Did

Tom: crushed out some code academy for python! and looked at nltk Kelly: registered the application with Twitter in order to get access tokens, built a generic oauth module for interacting with the Twitter API

Logan: continued to work on the research paper due Wednesday

Word of the Week

Twitter OAuth: According to the OAuth site, it is "an open protocol to allow secure authorization in a simple and standard method from web, mobile and desktop applications." Basically, OAuth is an authorization tool that approves third-party applications to use and access your Twitter account, without you having to share your password.

What to Do Next

Programming: - Finish connecting the application with the Twitter API: pull from timeline, pull various search terms - put tweets into different classifers - finish front end of web application

Other: - finish Research Paper - take group picture - a 150-300 word description of the project(suitable for posting as "side" article on department home page)
