Hi guys,
I just wanted to let you know I’ve published a little project I have been working on for a few months now. I hope some of you Twitter maniacs will find it useful next time when coming up with a new tweet text!
It’s an online and real-time hashtag checker, which you can access here https://nerdcow.co.uk/hashtag/ 
It’s still in beta phase and I keep adjusting calculations as I go, but for now it’s ready to be work with.
Let me know any thoughts and suggestions.
Very interesting - can I ask where you are pulling the data from? We do A LOT of work with social platforms including the firehose data feeds for social insight - depending how much effort you want to put into this I have several ideas.
Sure, Charlie.
It is using Twitter’s Streaming API that I am connected to 24/7 (constant data mining).
The only downside is that Twitter allows only 1% of their current data volume through that API, so I have to work on assumptions. Yet again, aren’t statistics a big assumption to begin with?
Firehose would be brilliant, but naturally it is a premium feature available through third-party providers and I am not in the position to cover that cost at this moment.
Ha ha - no exactly right the Firehose stuff is epic but crazy expensive and a huge headache to manage and analyse properly.
It’s a great little tool you have there - it may be possible to date manage i.e. set custom ranges to a point even via Twitter’s API but I’ve never tried to implement that properly on public data.
either way very impressive
