Thanks for keeping after this @justforwhimsy and @phinneas. Some thoughts based on what came up in the thread:\r\n\r\nsmtk is being rolled into a larger ETL project, but collect social is still a good starting point for quickly grabbing some FB or Twitter data and throwing it into a database, so that's probably a good place to start for pages we already know about. \r\n\r\nRe scraping - yes it's definitely difficult to scrape Facebook pages. If it looks like the only way to do this is manually searching for each county name, then maybe we can pay mechanical Turk. I'll look into this option. \r\n\r\nAbout the county question, I think it's ok that we have both cities and county pages. We can normalize back to the American community survey definition of \"county\" after the fact. :) "}}
