Abstract |
In recent years, Twitter has become a very important and prominent part of peoples life. The main reason people use twitter is to share information and their experiences. While expressing their sentiments via tweets they use a certain hashtag for the tweets they publish. When other people agree to it they retweet it, mark it as favorites and even share the tweet. When many people do this for the same hashtag, it starts to trend and the hashtag becomes popular. In this project, we look onto four hashtags of which three is related to football stars and one related to an award named Ballon d Or that is given to the best football player of the year. We harvest the data for three footballers and Ballon d Or award using hashtags. We analyze the datas like tweet text, retweets, favorite counts, the user who publishes those tweets, and hashtags that have been used while publishing tweets. We check the tweets that have been created before the award ceremony and also the tweets that are published after the ceremony. We make 4 buckets each for 4 hashtags and make two categories like:- before award and after awards. To analyze for popularity index we extract only those tweets where the retweets counts and favorites counts are more than 1500. After getting the popular tweets for each hashtag we clean the tweet text and analyze the sentiments of people associated with those tweets. We analyze sentiments for both before awards and after awards scenarios. |
