TweetGathering will help you discover news from Twitter as they happen, enabling to catch the scoop and be among the first to cover the news! The interface of the tool is divided in 2 main sections:

• The menu in the left shows a list of terms that recently experienced an oustanding number of mentions on Twitter, and thus are trending for some reason. Our system can rank, with a 75% confidence, these trending terms from the most likely to be newsworthy to the least likely. The list of terms in the menu is ordered accordingly.
• Once you click in a term in the menu, extended information about tweets referring to that term will be loaded in the right panel. The right panel outlines a set of items that help grasp the story behind the trend, as well as a bottom-right box to visualize the tweets of your choice. Clicking on the items will enable further navigation through tweets for an improved experience. The items shown include:
• URLs: shows the list of top links that tweets are pointing at. It also presents the number of links contained in the whole conversation, and the fraction that points at news media. You can choose to visualize all the links, or just those pointing at news media.
• Search: the search box allows to query, within the conversation, for the keywords of your choice.
• Users: shows the top users contributing or being mentioned in the conversation.
• Hashtags: shows the top hashtags in the conversation.
• Entities: shows the most frequent names of people, organizations and locations that are mentioned in the tweets.
• Events: shows the most frequent verbs that are likely to refer to an event that happened in the story.
• Selected tweets: shows a selection of 4 representative tweets in the conversation, i.e., the most retweeted, the most frequent, the trendiest, and the earliest that started the conversation. By default, this is loaded in the box at the beginning.
• All tweets: shows all the tweets in the conversation.
