- 8. Conclusions Good proxyfor top content when sufficient Twitter activity More relevant tags are higher in tweet keyword rankings TF-IDF is effective Next Steps Larger dataset Analysis over time Other sources like LastFM Linguistic analysis (clustering, stemming) Other user-generated data (e.g. user reviews)
