Isn't it a bit silly to throw away every single @<user> tweet? Imagine I'm having a twitter conversation with my friends about who can make the best pangram and this data is ignored just because we're tweeting @ each other?
I'm guessing that the majority of tweets will reference a person. How about just stripping that @word from the tweet?
- TheRedBarron 11y agoInteresting. The issue I was getting was that it would like tweets that were "@MyFriendWhoHasAUserNameLikeZXCVBNMQWERTYU hey". Should I just strip it of the word "@____"?
- yathern 11y agoThat would absolutely be the way I'd suggest going about it.
- TheRedBarron 11y agoOkay. Iteration is key! I'll update her maybe tonight. Thanks
- abecedarius 11y agoI'd try stripping such words (and URLs) when they appear at the start or end of the tweet. If in the middle, removing seems likely to mess with the meaning.
