  1. Oh and by the way it was actually your https://cloudonaut.io/your-single-aws-account-is-a-serious-r... post that indirectly inspired this tool, so thanks!

  7. Very cool! I've read that LDA doesn't work well on short documents. Your approach of concatenating all tweets for a user appears to work quite well.

  9. Just a quick thought: the help I got on EE was different from SO, so maybe there's a niche for EE. Let me describe the help: I'd been stuck, and pretty much given up.
