What #AcademicBooks have been written & published with #XTwitter or #Twitter posts as kinds of paragraphs, if any?

What #AcademicBooks have been written & published with #XTwitter or #Twitter posts as kinds of paragraphs, If any? Were these possible books published & printed to both paper & digital formats? What did doing so do in the book? Concision, bring in a social media conversation...?

AI reply - 

Yes, there are academic books that utilize or discuss X/Twitter posts (formerly Twitter) as part of their content or analysis. 
Books that analyze X/Twitter as data or subject matter:
  • The Discourse of Customer Service Tweets: Planes, Trains and Automated Text Analysis by Ursula Lutzky studies how customer service interactions on Twitter are conducted, using a corpus of over 1.5 million tweets.
  • Tweelyzer. An Approach to Sentiment Analysis of Tweets by Durgesh Samariya discusses a method for automatically classifying sentiment in tweets, analyzing opinions expressed in tweets about various topics.
  • Natural Language Processing for Social Media, Third Edition by Anna Atefeh Farzindar and Diana Inkpen explores the use of natural language processing (NLP) to analyze social media data, including Twitter, and highlights its challenges compared to traditional text analysis. 
Books that may contain X/Twitter examples as they discuss social media:
  • Text as Data: A New Framework for Machine Learning and the Social Sciences by Justin Grimmer, Margaret E. Roberts, and Brandon M. Stewart is a guide for using computational text analysis, including machine learning tools, to study the social world using textual data, which could include social media posts like tweets.
  • Analyzing Media Messages: Using Quantitative Content Analysis in Research by Daniel Riffe, Stephen Lacy, Brendan R. Watson, and Jennette Lovejoy provides guidance on quantitative content analysis research, and its latest edition includes updates on the uses of social media in content analysis research.
  • Working with Text: Tools, Techniques and Approaches for Text Mining by Emma Tonkin and Gregory J.L Tourte provides an introduction to text mining and its applications, including the use of text mining packages with data drawn from social media. 
Books that discuss the phenomenon of X/Twitter's role and influence:
  • Extremely Online by Taylor Lorenz analyzes how online influence, including on Twitter, has reshaped media, content creation, and even aspects of the economy.
  • The Twittering Machine by Richard Seymour offers a critical analysis of the effects of social media (including Twitter) on personal and political life, discussing how its features can perpetuate addictive cycles and impact the information landscape.
  • Tweets and the Streets by Paolo Gerbaudo examines the role of social media platforms like Twitter in facilitating social movements and activism. 
Important Considerations for using X/Twitter data in academic works:
  • Copyright and Fair Use: When reproducing tweets, particularly those of public figures, it is crucial to understand and adhere to copyright and fair use guidelines, sometimes requiring permission.
  • Data Restrictions: Twitter's terms of service (TOS) typically restrict the sharing of full tweets in datasets; researchers often share tweet IDs instead, which require "hydration" to retrieve the associated text and metadata.
  • Citation Practices: Academic style guides, such as MLA, provide formats for citing social media content, including tweets. 
While X/Twitter posts may not always be structured as paragraphs within academic texts, they are frequently used as primary source data for analysis, examples to illustrate concepts, or as the subject of academic inquiry themselves, particularly in fields like communication studies, social science, and digital humanities.

What did Luther Burbank do in Santa Rosa & Sebastopol with plant breeding, and when?

What did Luther Burbank do in Santa Rosa & Sebastopol with plant breeding and from what year to what year and can I see this in a realistic virtual Earth for agriculture, a realistic virtual Earth for Gardens and museums and think Google Street View with time slider at this point?



Luther Burbank, a renowned horticulturist, made Santa Rosa, California, his home and the center of his groundbreaking plant breeding work for over 50 years, from 1875 until his death in 1926.
In Santa Rosa, and at his experimental farm in nearby Sebastopol, Burbank conducted large-scale plant hybridization experiments, often involving millions of plants at a time. His objective was to improve the quality of plants and increase the world's food supply.
His significant contributions include introducing over 800 new varieties of plants, suchially:
 * Fruits: Over 200 varieties, including the famous Santa Rosa plum, the 'Flaming Gold' nectarine, stoneless prunes, and improved apples, cherries, and pears. His work with plums alone spanned 40 years and resulted in over 40 new varieties.
 * Vegetables: Many varieties, most notably the Burbank potato (Russet Burbank), which he developed in Massachusetts but used the proceeds from its sale to move to Santa Rosa. This potato became the foundation of Idaho's potato industry. He also developed an improved spineless cactus for livestock forage in desert regions.
 * Nuts and Grains: Including hybrid walnuts and blight-resistant chestnuts.
 * Ornamental Flowers: Hundreds of varieties, such as the Shasta daisy, the fire poppy, and new lilies.
His methods involved extensive cross-pollination, selective seed propagation, and grafting. He was known for his keen eye in selecting plants with the most promising characteristics.
Regarding a realistic virtual Earth for agriculture, gardens, and museums with a time slider like Google Street View:
While there isn't a single, universally available platform that precisely matches your description for all historical agricultural and botanical sites, here's a breakdown of what exists and what you're imagining:
 * Google Street View: Offers realistic ground-level views of many locations, including some gardens and museums. However, it does not have a "time slider" that would show the evolution of a garden or agricultural field over historical periods like Burbank's time. The time slider in Street View typically shows different captures of the current street view over recent years, not historical eras.
 * Virtual Tours of Gardens and Museums: Many institutions, like the Luther Burbank Home & Gardens in Santa Rosa, offer virtual tours (e.g., video tours, 360-degree photo tours, or audio tours). The Luther Burbank Home & Gardens specifically has a free cell phone audio tour that provides historical facts and highlights plants he introduced. While these are valuable, they generally present the current state of the gardens or curated historical information, not a dynamic, time-lapse "virtual Earth" of past agricultural practices.
 * Specialized Platforms for Historical or Agricultural Data: There are academic or research-oriented platforms that might visualize historical land use or agricultural practices, but they are typically not designed for public, immersive "Street View" style exploration.
 * The Concept You're Describing: A "realistic virtual Earth for agriculture, gardens, and museums with a time slider" is a fascinating and highly advanced concept. It would require immense amounts of historical geospatial data, detailed botanical records, architectural plans, and 3D modeling to accurately recreate environments and their evolution over time. While the technology for individual components (like 3D modeling and historical data visualization) exists, integrating it into a seamless, user-friendly, and comprehensive platform akin to Google Street View with historical time travel is a significant undertaking that hasn't been widely achieved yet for general public access across diverse sites.
In summary, while you can visit the Luther Burbank Home & Gardens in Santa Rosa in person or explore their current virtual offerings, a "Google Street View with time slider" for his historical plant breeding work as you envision is not currently available. It represents an exciting future possibility for digital historical preservation and education.
