I Work For The Internet !

UPDATE: code and figure updated at 647 AM CST on 19 Dec '11.  Also, see Jarrett Byrnes (improved) fork of my gist  here.


The site I WORK FOR THE INTERNET is collecting pictures and first names (last name initials only) to show collective support against SOPA (the Stop Online Piracy Act).  Please stop by their site and add your name/picture.

I used the #rstats package twitteR, created by Jeff Gentry, to search for tweets from people signing this site with their picture, then plotted using ggplot2, and also used Hadley's lubridate to round timestamps on tweets to be able to bin tweets in to time slots for plotting.

Tweets containing the phrase 'I work for the internet' by time:

Here's the code as a GitHub gist.   Sometimes the searchTwitter fxn doesn't returns an error, which I don't understand, but you can play with it:

rOpenSci won 3rd place in the PLoS-Mendeley Binary Battle!

Recology has moved go to http://recology.info/2011/11/ropensci-won-3rd-place-in-plos-mendeley

I am part of the rOpenSci development team (along with Carl Boettiger, Karthik Ram, and Nick Fabina).   Our website: http://ropensci.org/.  Code at Github: https://github.com/ropensci

We entered two of our R packages for integrating with PLoS Journals (rplos) and Mendeley (RMendeley) in the Mendeley-PLoS Binary Battle.  Get them at GitHub (rplos; RMendeley).

These two packages allow users (from R! of course) to search and retrieve data from PLoS journals (including their altmetrics data), and from Mendeley.  You could surely mash up data from both PLoS and Mendeley.  That's what's cool about rOpenSci - we provide the tools, and leave it up to users vast creativity to do awesome things.

3rd place gives us a $1,000 prize, plus a Parrot AR Drone helicopter.
