Do you haz teh (twitter) codez? 

 Ever wondered how to get twitter data?  I spent much of today listening to a great presentation on this subject by Derek Ruths at the  2012 Computational Social Science workshop  hosted at IQSS and conveniently  broadcast on the web .  I'm not sure if video of the presentation will be available, but the  code  is all available and is extremely well done.  For the most part, it worked "out of the box" while I was sitting there listening to the lecture, which is incredible.  More incredible, it seemed like it worked for most of the people there.  I've never seen a live scripting demonstration go so smoothly.   

 The code is  up on the interwebs  so I assume it is fair game.  Go get yourself some tweets and  get published in  Science  .  (Really, there's a demo that shows you basically how to do that paper!!)
