This corpus contains a snapshot of German-language Twitter posts from the month of April, 2013. The posts have been automatically collected and filtered by language (see paper). The collection method guarantees a near-complete (>90%) sample of all tweets in German sent during that time period. For more information see the paper that used this dataset to study http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2014/pdf/1146_Paper.pdf
