Overview

A re-tweet is /sent/ by user_a, repeating an earlier message by user_b Any tweet containing text roughly similar to

RT @user <stuff>

with equivalently for RT: retweet, via, retweeting

!!! OR !!!

A retweet whore request, something like

pls RT Hey lookit me

We just pass along both in the same data structure; the heuristic is poor enough that we leave it to later steps to be clever. (Note retweets and non-retweet-whore-requests have user_b_name set and unset respectively.)

user_a_id: the user who sent the re-tweet status_id: the id of the tweet containing the re-tweet (for the ID of the original tweet you’re on your own.) user_b_name: the user citied as originating: RT @user_b_name please_flag: a 1 if the text contains ‘please’ or ‘plz’ as a stand-alone word text: the full text of the tweet
