Computation of Spread of Tweets on Twitter

摘要

Twitter is observed to be a very strong platform to reach more audience. The thoughts that are shared on twitter can have positive as well as negative impact. In this paper our focus is to find and provide some metrics to evaluate the spread of any tweet. This can be considered as the first step towards identifying the impact of any tweet. We assume that we have appropriate API's or web services to get required information regarding the tweet. We have taken some real time tweet to find the spread. In this work, the speed of spread is also captured. The speed aspect of a spread is found useful in further analysis of certain tweets under investigation.
