Project Overview

Project Description

Creating a fully customized social media dashboard on simplified 3D model of Singapore Management University categorizing tweets based on location and trending topics.

Motivation

Students and faculty members are sharing their thoughts and things happening around them by using social media tools like twitter. However, if another student or faculty is not following those people, he will not see those tweets even if they are in the same campus.

We believe the social media can do better than this. Our social media dashboard will be customized to capture all the tweets in SMU campus and show them on simplified 3D model. Students can see what others think about a particular course or faculty. Faculty can see what is happening around university. Potential students can see the culture and interaction of current students. Last but not least, the expertise from community can discuss and contribute to the trends and topics in SMU.

Project Scope

1. Building simplified 3D model of Singapore Management University We are going to build a simplified and block scale 3D model of Singapore Management University on which we will show the tweets and the trending topics.

2. Pulling relevant tweets searching by locations. Using twitter API of searching tweets only around the campus, we will pull only the relevant tweets for our website. So, we will get all the tweets from students, faculty, and even community if they are tweeting in the campus and they enabled the geo-tagged feature.

3. Pulling relevant tweets searching by pre-assigned keywords. (#keyword in twitter convention) To complement location search, we will also search tweets on pre-assigned keywords. We are going to list possible keywords in SMU campus as much as possible. By doing so, our application will not need to sacrifice for non-geo-tagged tweets.

4. Showing trending page for selection faculty. When a user selects a faculty name, we will show the page with tweets which are located around the selected faculty and the tweets with related keywords. For example, when a user selects SIS faculty, the page will show all tweets located around SIS and with keywords IS480.

5. Showing trending page for selected keyword. When a user selects a #keyword, we will show the page with tweets with the selected keyword.

6. Permanent trending page for #LostNFound keyword In every trending page, there will be #LostNFound keyword and we will keep it permanent regardless of the selected faculty and keyword. We want to make students life easier by just tweeting when they lost or found some valuables. This can be one stop lost and found portal powered by social media technology.

7. Logged in users can tweet and discuss Users with twitter credentials can log in, tweet and discuss on every above mentioned pages. When a user tweets on the keyword page, the keyword will be automatically added at the end of the tweet.

8. Not logged in users can tweet and discuss with nickname. Users without twitter credentials will not be left out. They can tweet and discuss in the trending page just by filling nickname field. His tweets will not be broadcasted to twitter page but users can see those tweets through our website.

9. Logging for captured tweets, trends, anonymous users and source IP. We will keep record for the captured tweets from search, trends, nicknames for anonymous users and source IP to certain time period.

10. Displaying statistics such as ranking of users and trends Powered by the logging feature, we can display the statistics such as ranking of users, trends and most active faculty for a period of time.


Additional features

1. Mobile friendly interfaces using HTML 5 and javascript As people are consuming information on mobile phones, we want to make our website mobile friendly using HTML 5 and javascript if time permits.
