Creating a web$-$based platform that tracks the public conversationsabout cyber security and

related topics.

The platforms should track and present the following information:

$$ What are the most popular$/$trending topics related to cyber security?

$$ Who are the most influential people in the area of cyber security?

$$ Which topics$/$hashtags were the most trending hashtags during a particular time period?

$$ When did a particular trend start and end $($or slowed down$)?$

$$ What kind of topics are popular in different countries$/$cities $($this can be done using the geo$-$location

information attached to the tweets$)?$

$$ The platform should also provide the ability to search$/$filter by twitter accounts $($i$.$e$.,$ what is a

particular twitter$-$user saying about a particular hashtag$/$topic$)$

$$ The platform should be able to provide a count of the tweets related to a particular hashtag.

$$ The platform will provide the ability to favorite certain hashtags and view only the tweets related to

the favorited hashtags $($this will need user$-$registration$).$

$$ The platforms will provide the ability to filter out tweets that use offensive language.

$$ The platform will allow bookmarking of posts$/$tweets $($so that one can create a library of favorite

tweets$).$
