# The #sxswedu Twitter Archive (for your data mining pleasure)

I am a huge fan of learning from others, and I think one of the best ways to learn from #sxswedu is to look through all of the tweets. Unfortunately, they go by too fast to glean much of anything out of them other than people seem to be having a good time.

So, I created a twitter archive for every tweet using the #sxswedu hashtag. Once an hour, it pulls in new tweets and displays them in a summary, a dashboard, and in their raw form.

Here is the link to the archive: [http://bit.ly/sxsweduarchive](http://bit.ly/sxsweduarchive)

Feel free to use these tweets however you see fit, but please share what you do with them, as I would love to see what uses others make of this data.

Also, if you want to create your own twitter archives, [here are the instructions and template doc.](http://mashe.hawksey.info/2013/02/twitter-archive-tagsv5/)However, if you want to create an archive as large as #sxswedu, you will need to import the scripts and the spreadsheet into “new sheets.”
