Twitter Data Collection tools released

I have released the Java programs that I’ve been using to collect data from Twitter for my PhD since November 2009. It is suite of programs that use the Twitter Search API and Twitter Stream API to get tweets and then store them in a mySQL database. They have been tested on Mac OS X and Debian Linux. The Java source is split into 9 Eclipse projects using Maven to bring in the external library dependencies.
