Documentation in the LC and Google Tweet

All data can become information, and all information is important. Even what we say on social networking sites, like Twitter, can be important information for researchers. Many cases that were started from the writing on Twitter, call it a very shocking case was the world revolution, as had happened in Tunisia, started from the mass accumulation on Twitter.

These conditions turned out to have been foreseen by the Library of Congress (LC). LC thinks that Twitter has become part of the history of the world. Twitter has become part of the process of exchanging information. Therefore, in mid-2010 yesterday, LC, one of the largest and oldest library in the world is located in the United States began a project documenting the magnitude of chirp (tweet) Twitter enthusiast.

The main purpose of this documentation is to assist researchers in obtaining research data. Tweet, which has been experiencing growth of more than 50 million every day is an important data which is used as information in a study. In addition, this tweet documentation also serves as a form of preservation "collections". Later tweets that have been outstanding for more than 6 months can be used for internal use in the library, research, non - commercial, display the library's own collection, and preservation.

LC step above was also followed by Google. Since the end of 2009 Google adds features real - time search as part of search engine technology. In April 2010, Google added a new feature in the form of search tweet, named Reply It. Through this feature, Google users can see the archive of existing tweet on Twitter by a certain time.

How to use this feature is quite easy. You just open Google and type in what themes will be sought, for example Indonesia, and then click search. Next on the left side of the page select Realtime (Real time on the Google version of Indonesia), it will display the talks about Indonesia on Twitter. If you wish to view archived tweets about Indonesia, you just shift the graphic image on the right of the appropriate time in want. The graph will illustrate the success of talks on a particular theme at a given time as well.
