[Corpora-List] Building a corpus from Twitter & Tw's privacy concerns

[Stefania Spina]

Dear Maria Eleonora,
I have collected a 1.2 million tweets corpus using the package TwitteR (
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/twitteR/) and the statistical
software R (http://www.r-project.org). It works fine even with the new
privacy settings.
Best,
Stefania Spina

Dear ListMembers,

I'd like to create a corpus of Italian twits, but searching online I found
out that it is not possible anymore because Twitter has changed its privacy
settings.

Has any of you tried to build a Twitter corpus and how?

Any suggestion will be much appreciated (considering that I am not a
programmer, though).

Best,

Eleonora
