      1/ Right now, I'm working through @johndoerr's Measure What Matters. I've only just gotten to chapter three — I'm trying to consume it slowly and deliberately. But, one idea it's already inspired: I want to publicly share my "OKRs."https://www.whatmatters.com/

      2/ If you've been following me for a while, you probably know my broad course trajectory. It's not terribly unique. In agreement with Herbert Simon, I want to design tools that better allocate our limited attention, the very stuff which determines our lives.

      3/ You've also probably seen hints at the vision that's in my head. But, translating that will take time and a course heading is not enough. So, the first thing I want to do — my first objective — is, > To make Twitter data more accessible to researchers.

      4/ If you follow me, there is a good chance you're into statistics, machine learning, or data science. But, if you're an academic working in isolation, you may not have time to experiment with the twitter API and set up the infrastructure for collection.

      5/ I want to build a simple interface so you can do that part quickly and on an ad hoc basis. I want to lower the barriers of entry, so that we can get more eyeballs on the problem.

      6/ To that end, my first key result will be developing, $ brittlewit sample | gzip > tweets.jsonl.gz This is the lowest hanging fruit.

      8/ There are plenty of libraries that do this in [your favorite language] but they are designed for app building more than for researcher needs. I'll keep adding next steps to this thread as I go.

          It's not Go (Python) but you might be interested in some of the work of the @documentnow project, especially twarc https://github.com/docnow/twarc  which has a similar form-factor and http://www.docnow.io/catalog/  for sharing datasets.

          I say that knowing full well that there is tons of value in coming at the same problem from multiple angles and working out the details for yourself. In software the wheel always needs reinvention.
