Data and Utilization

Data was scrapped from Twitter and uploaded as is, no further process to data cleaning was performed, but the data from the tweets are in very good shape. I'd maybe recommend separating data and time and finding a way to change the source from links to the device name or website, depending on what you are interested in using the data for.

Usage suggestions - Data can be used to perform sentiment analysis, look at the geographical distribution, trends, spam x ham or bot identification, and others.
