Twitter Vigilance, TV is a multi-user tool for Twitter analysis

Twitter Vigilance, TV is a multi-user tool for Twitter analysis, developed by the DISIT Lab of the University of Florence. According to our view, a Twitter Channel consists of a set of simple and complex queries performed on Twitter platform. The simplest Twitter Channel monitored can control tweets referred to a single user, to a single hashtag, or to a single keyword. Complex Channels consist of tens of complex queries according to Twitter syntax combined with keywords, users, hashtags, etc. The single query is not only a tool to search, but also a key to analysis. The Twitter Vigilance ensures the collection of 98% of tweets/retweets referred to events by providing the yield and precision evidence to the user. Twitter Vigilance is capable to monitor and analyse slow and explosive events on Twitter with same efficiency and precision. A fast or explosive event occurs with several hundred thousands of tweets per day/per hour. Slow events can occur with very few tweets per day or week or their absence.
