Mining geo data from Twitter's API


Hot off the press, a script that is able to gather large-ish amounts of geo tagged tweet data from Twitter's public API. Running for 24 hours will yield ~300MB (~6 Million Tweets) in the following format

timestamp    tweet_id           tweet_language    country    lat        lng
1367706951 330813049193762816 es ES 39.4643 -0.3548
