*'''Twitter activity''': ''
'''UPDATE (7/14)''': Updated turk to reflect our desired formats
'''UPDATE (7/12)''': '''AUDIT RESULTS''': We noticed
'''UPDATE (7/11)''': uploaded and published on amazon's mechanical turk site. Given the time cost to either record number of tweets in a month or look up more than 10 tweets, we decided to record the date of the last 10th tweet. Using a sample of ~10 companies, We noticed minimal differences in data observations among using 10,20, and 30 tweets.''

'''Procedure'''
#Copy the text in the Search Text into a search engine.
#Click on the result that is the website of the company. If there does not exist a listing on the first three pages, mark as DNE.
#Look for links related to events, such as 'Events' or 'Calendar' on the homepage.
#If not found on the homepage, check 'About' and check 'Community'
#Count the number of events in July 2016 and record it. If there is no information of events on the website, record DNE.
Note***: ''Events include meetups, workshops, info sessions etc. We do not want to count them separately since it is difficult to do so. Most companies put all the events on the same section and do not put event types in the titles of the events. We have to look into the details of the events to find out the type and even we do so some events descriptions do not allow us to determine the type easily. Differentiating the types of the events demands more time and effort and therefore is not suitable to be a mechanical turk project.''
