Some design thoughts

Tomer touched on this during our presentation. We need to figure out the exact schema for our database.

Currently:
Id, Team 1, Team 2, Score 1, Score 2

Add:
User name
Time

Other design decisions

How do we determine if a person is a fan of a certain team?

1. The person mentions one team more than any other team.

This probably indicates strong emotions. However, it might be possible for someone to tweet a lot about a team that they hate.

With this information in hand, we can analyze the moods of tweets and cross reference them with actual events.

Ideas

1. Predicting which athlete composed the tweets?
Doesn't seem that interesting
2. Predicting what a certain person's tweets would be or
creating a tweet someone would write?
Already done with tofu_product
3. Gambling line prediction
Analyzing the twitter world to figure out the best gambling line.
Doesn't really have a strong NLP aspect to it.
Regardless, a seemingly cool idea.
