We have analysed twitter responses about BP in context over a week period, 06.06.10 to 12.06.10. We shall carry out further contextual trend analysis on this topic over the coming days.

Source: 210,000 twitter comments.


BP & Obama

In twitter comments mentioning BP, Obama was mentioned most regularly in the following context:

06.06.10 – spoken, hasn’t, directly, captured, being.
07.06.10
– spoken, hasn’t, president, doesn’t, administration, boot, neck, American.
08.06.10 – lashes, media, chief, afp, barack, fire, crisis.

12.06.10 – promise, ready, president, suspend, executives, retain, cash, mee (Massey Energy Co.)

The individual words build a story of Obama's reaction to the BP disaster.

BP & Cost

In twitter comments mentioning BP, cost was mentioned most regularly in the following tweet context:

07.06.10 – billion, far, captures, reach, cleanup, same, current.
08.06.10 – florida, report, 195, jobs, real, flow, billions.

11.06.10 - cost, real, estate, billion, coud, values, property, homeowners, clean.
12.06.10 - began, shares, almost, value, halved, people, mcartney, derek.


Over time, different costs emerge giving a wider picture of the far reaching negative effects of the BP disaster.

BP & Ocean

In twitter comments mentioning BP, ocean was mentioned most regularly in tweets containing these words:


06.06.10 – wants, fake, twitter, mocking, shut, ruining, account, nice.
07.06.10 – new, black, tumblr, blue, usual, replacing, fire, rig.
08.06.10 – shut, account, ruining, response, thats, company, ryanvaughan, acct.

11.06.10 – let,destroy, products, list, cannot, global, break, repercussions.

It appears in a backlash to BPs damage to the Ocean, there is an ongoing attempt to ruin BPs image with a infamous fake BP twitter account and list of products to boycott.
