Had a great meeting with my Lecturer yesterday and had a eureka moment! I have reached a decision on a research question:


Is it possible to predict the likelihood of Scottish Independence by mining micro blogging? 


I have watched a few (lots) videos about the different types of open source text mining software and I think that I will be using Rapid Miner although i haven't fully tested this out, I will probably dabble with a few others before i decide for sure.


Now that I have my research question I can start on my proposal, 20 pages in a week? My lecturer would like to see proposal before I submit. 


Head down time, eat sleep and live at my desk for the next few days, no time for bathing and kids will have to look after themselves!


On with the search to full fill my literature review requirements....
