Abstract
Social media data, such as Tweet messages, are sometimes associated with their geolocation. This information can be exploited to perform spatial analyses, resulting in geosocial analytics. However, the geolocation does not often correspond to the actual position of the author, but could be fictiously associated to the messages. The issues coming from the absence of Tweet geolocation metadata are explored in this paper, through a test case over Italy.File in questo prodotto:
