Twitter Data Mining

May 8, 2009

A semi-happy quack to the reader who sent me a link to what appears to be a Microsoft Twitter data mining application. You can look at the service here.

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a “web.config” configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its “mode” attribute set to “Off”.

You may need to do some fiddling. My Windows 7 experience returned this message:
<!– Web.Config Configuration File –>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode=”Off”/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

I tried again, and I was able to see the page shown in the screenshot below:

I learned that “The app is available for installation from the Flotzam site at http://flotzam.com/archivist.“ No joy. I was going to Twitter for help, but I thought I would pass along my experience. You may get this to work.
