Inspiration

We want to make some software to prototype and show the potential and dangerous of using internet in a narcissist and exhibitionist way. We focused on the twitter generated data.

What it does

Is a server backend, that is getting all the tweets containing a concrete set of words, in real time. And saves the tweets to a MongoDB database, and sents to a frontend client (with socketio). The server, gets:

the tweets containing images, the server analyzes the images, and gets the faces from the people. We store all the faces from each person that is on a tweet related to the words we are tracking
also, the server can act as a twitter bot, and replies the tweet of the people, saying thanks for their faces, and with an image of them faces marked inside a square.
for each tweet, analyses the sentiment, so the tweet gets a punctuation value in function its positive or negative sentiment --> that's to know the average opinion on a concrete topic
all tweets with geolocation activated, and the frontend paints over a map in realtime the new tweets
in the frontend, can view the tweets map, the faces of the images, and a node network map to analyse the relations between users and tweets sent.
