DESCRIPTION
Lebanon's politicians have been very active on Twitter in 2012 and are expected to be more active in 2013 with the upcoming elections. HMA Tom Fletcher triggered an online discussion on Twitter on Jan 9, 2013 with a tweet: "In context of external influence in Lebanon, does anyone have statistics on number of RTs of foreign leaders by Lebanese leaders?" (source: https://twitter.com/HMATomFletcher/status/288957951304163328) This presentation is the contribution of Think Media Labs to that online discussion. We data mined and analyzed more than one year of Social Media data on Lebanon's politicians and the attached report addresses the question of the retweet activity of Lebanon's politicians involving foreign leaders.
