0

On February 14th, the BBC broadcast sn interesting intverview with footballer’s wife, Lizzie Cundy and CAST London director, Dr Chris Brauer on how celebrities should reply to tweets of an abusive nature.  I decided to do a quick Twitter scrape to gauge sentiment analysis around her comments in the interview, where I used a variety of tools, including Hawksey’s TAGSExplorer, SocialMention, and Twendz to scrape tweets mentioning her in the 24 hours during and after the broadcast:

TV presenter Lizzie Cundy has told BBC Breakfast she feels that Twitter should be monitored, after enduring what she described as “very abusive tweets about my family”.

The comments came after the Manchester City player Micah Richards reportedly shut down his account after allegations of abuse.

Gary Lineker also recently announced he was going to leave Twitter for similar reasons, although he has apparently since changed his mind.

BBC Breakfast also spoke to senior lecturer in computing at Goldsmiths University of London, Dr Chris Brauer.

A scrape of Social mention showed that overal, there was a sentiment ration of 8:1, while there were 20% positive tweets about the interview, 19% neutral and 7% negative. You can see a selection of the neutral and negative tweets from the screen-grab below:

Twendz showed that mentions of Lizzie Cundy and her appearance on BBC Breakfast in the 24 hours after the interview was broadcast had a 20% negative sentiment, 60% neutral, and 20% positive:

And using Hawksey’s TAGSExplorer and Google Docs to scrape twitter myself, I located both Lizzie Cundy’s network, and @BBCBreakfast’s network, where I replayed some of the conversations going on around the interview:
