Tweets
- @JosephGalbo Really hard to categorize tweets based on keywords, just because there are so few of them in a tweet... 14 hrs ago
- Though it is categorizing any tweet with the word "fan" as "sports" (wrong!), but not my only tweet ever with the word "sport"‽ 14 hrs ago
- This says I tweet mainly about education, technology, and... healthy living (?)... fun topic-izer of tweets: http://165.124.128.196:8000 14 hrs ago
- @lrainie As it is, each time I start a class session with "Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin..." fewer and fewer recognize it. 3 days ago
