Twittersphere OBSERVATORY

The Twittersphere Observatory (TO) is a research-based project that uses textual analysis to track the changes in psychological well-being of a fixed representative sample of the Twittersphere of France, Spain and the UK. The TO project involves researchers from Aix-Marseille School of Economics and from the Department of Economics of Glendon College, York University.

Due to the recent changes in the Twitter API's terms and conditions implemented by Elon Musk (i.e. rendering the access to Twitter data $42,000 a month!), we were forced to stop the weekply updates of our indicators.
