    Abdallah, how did you arrive at the sample frame? In other words: on which criteria did you select your sample?

    Thanks Bradly.

    @Philipp, my sample selection was based on two main pillars; (Time and Topic)

    Time:I looked for the tweets that took place during the time of the revolution from (January 25, 2011 until February 11,2011)

    Topic: In order to narrow down my search, I choose the hash-tag (#Tahrir #Egypt) for international tweets and its equivalent words in Arabic in order to get the Egyptian tweets (#تحرير #مصر)

    I excluded the unknown or anonymous tweets that seemed to be vague of irrelevant to the topic in order to find the sample that I will work on.

    Did it answer your question?
