List of Potential ideas

[lpassarella]

Hey everyone!

I thought I would add the ideas that were sent to us.

Potential directions for the tweet project

Overview: who (media, gov., utility, business, eyewitness, other individuals, etc.) is tweeting what at different stages of the hurricane
-- topic analysis

More specifically, for example,

• Identify the information useful/actionable for infrastructure/utility;
• Indirect impacts of the hurricane: looting, price gouging, pet abandoning, etc.;
• Social (poverty and justice) issues discussed/implied in the hurricane tweets;
• How actionable information diffuse in tweets, and how emotional information diffuse in tweets; any positive outcomes or practical uses?
• Citizenship in hurricanes: how civilians get involved at different stages of the hurricane; what information they provide? Informative? Actionable? Relief efforts? Emotional support?
• Which type of information/news is distributed the most at different stages of the hurricane;
• The value/reliability of using twitter data in revealing the extent of damage, calling for support? Any issues related specifically to low-income neighborhoods?

Leave a comment if you all have any inclination towards one of these!
