Mining the social web, 2nd edition
Introduction
I'm reading the book “Mining the social web, 2nd edition”. Look how cute it is:
The book gives a deep insight of how to exploit data from social websites, and it's a topic I am quite interested. However, the recipes are in python, but I want to make my own recipes in java. This page is for register my achievements (if any) and notes, because there are tons of link that might be interested or worth reading.
The first chapter of the book deals with Twitter. To make my own java excursion into the topic, I've to read some things.

Apart from the book, which I encourage to read even you are not keen on python, these are my readings:
