WEBVTT 00:01.040 --> 00:06.320 In this video, we're going to take a look at the online tool Osumi. 00:06.320 --> 00:13.560 Net and this is a tool from the university or Indiana University. 00:14.400 --> 00:15.880 It can be found at OS. 00:17.440 --> 00:24.280 I edu forward slash forward slash m e e. 00:26.000 --> 00:33.640 Now this is a really interesting tool in that you can search for keywords and hashtags across multiple 00:33.640 --> 00:34.560 platforms. 00:35.240 --> 00:39.480 So currently it's blue Sky archive, Mastodon and TikTok. 00:39.920 --> 00:41.520 And again we can look for keywords. 00:41.520 --> 00:49.880 We can look for hashtags, and we can put a start and end date, which makes our document really useful 00:49.880 --> 00:55.760 when we're doing our investigations, in that we could actually pull out certain keywords off multiple 00:55.760 --> 01:00.520 platforms, make it easier to search, and we could isolate down to a certain date, especially if it's 01:00.520 --> 01:02.880 something that's, um, time sensitive. 01:02.920 --> 01:08.860 Say we're Were looking for a extremist group that has recently been posting. 01:08.860 --> 01:11.460 We're looking for certain events within a certain time. 01:11.860 --> 01:17.180 We're collecting evidence about, uh, things that were posted during a certain time. 01:17.500 --> 01:19.580 This comes in really handy now. 01:19.740 --> 01:20.500 Blue sky. 01:20.540 --> 01:25.340 You could just click blue Sky and start searching your keyword after you put your dates in. 01:26.180 --> 01:28.620 Now Mastodon is a little bit different. 01:28.620 --> 01:35.260 So Mastodon operates in kind of a silo type, uh, environment. 01:35.260 --> 01:39.740 So you are going to need to add a mastodon instance, which is pretty easy. 01:39.780 --> 01:46.300 Just click on here, do the drop down, and you can start selecting which instance you want to use. 01:46.300 --> 01:48.860 So Mastodon Japan. 01:49.300 --> 01:52.860 Uh Peru Mastodon social. 01:52.860 --> 01:59.860 So you're going to need to know which instance that your particular search criteria is going to be in. 01:59.860 --> 02:04.500 Or you could simply choose one of these enter. 02:04.540 --> 02:06.420 You need to enter the access token. 02:06.420 --> 02:08.910 And then you can start searching each of them. 02:08.950 --> 02:09.590 Tick tock. 02:09.630 --> 02:12.150 You are going to need a API key. 02:12.750 --> 02:19.630 So to get an API key for TikTok, you want to go to developers TikTok and then go through the process 02:19.630 --> 02:21.590 of getting a API key. 02:22.310 --> 02:23.750 Now typically these are free. 02:24.670 --> 02:30.510 And uh, depending on what you're doing, you're going to have to tell them why you want API key. 02:31.350 --> 02:35.790 So you need to come up with something that that is going to get you approved. 02:35.990 --> 02:41.310 If you're putting down, um, while I'm doing this so I can hack people, that's not going to get you 02:41.310 --> 02:41.670 approved. 02:41.670 --> 02:48.550 So be smart about what you tell them your project's going to be and why you're going to be using it. 02:49.870 --> 02:51.230 Now let's go back to blue Sky. 02:51.230 --> 02:54.550 Let's say we're doing an investigation on blue Sky again. 02:54.550 --> 02:58.870 We have a start and end date I'm going to put down click the calendar here. 02:58.870 --> 03:00.990 We can start going through here. 03:01.750 --> 03:04.190 Makes it really easy to select the start and end date. 03:04.190 --> 03:11.430 And we could type in uh list type in something simple okay. 03:11.930 --> 03:14.010 got Trump submit query. 03:15.050 --> 03:16.290 Let that run through. 03:20.010 --> 03:22.850 And we can see the progress bar in the background here. 03:24.770 --> 03:25.690 So not too bad. 03:25.730 --> 03:27.610 It actually runs fairly quick. 03:34.690 --> 03:34.930 Okay. 03:34.970 --> 03:36.490 That should be about done now. 03:39.730 --> 03:46.090 And this gives us a visualize map of of these different posts. 03:46.410 --> 03:48.970 So this is great for visualization. 03:49.250 --> 03:55.130 So if I kind of scroll down in here I can see this cluster here. 03:55.570 --> 03:57.610 And I can click on any of these here. 03:59.610 --> 04:07.570 Or I can click on play and it'll show me kind of how things progressed and and spidered out here. 04:07.970 --> 04:09.250 I'm going to click pause. 04:09.610 --> 04:11.690 You can click on any of these things. 04:14.500 --> 04:18.380 And if I click on any of these, it will give me the account name. 04:19.940 --> 04:25.500 It'll say who reposted it and you can view the post in blue sky. 04:26.220 --> 04:31.340 So again, if if I'm taking a look at this I could click on here. 04:31.380 --> 04:34.380 I'll go okay well this is where it started. 04:34.420 --> 04:35.500 Let me click on this. 04:35.660 --> 04:41.660 Let me take a look at at the what they have for image, what they have for wallpaper. 04:42.060 --> 04:44.500 How many people are following who's who's following them? 04:44.500 --> 04:45.700 How many posts did they make? 04:46.020 --> 04:47.340 What type of links do they have? 04:47.340 --> 04:48.580 What type of posts do they do? 04:48.620 --> 04:49.020 What? 04:49.380 --> 04:50.420 What media is there? 04:50.460 --> 04:55.060 What what their, uh, their name is on here. 04:55.380 --> 04:56.460 So on and so forth. 04:56.580 --> 05:00.660 And again, who reposted it, who's following them, etcetera, etcetera. 05:01.900 --> 05:03.700 So again really cool tool. 05:03.700 --> 05:05.300 And you can you can export this out. 05:05.300 --> 05:10.180 You can download it as a PNG, a CSV file, a GML file. 05:10.180 --> 05:19.380 So again really great for looking at how the aggregation is and for keywords and visualization. 05:19.380 --> 05:19.580 So.
