Twitter Word Cloud on #Infosec

What I did?

Step 1: Scanned the past 1500 tweets with hashtag "Info Sec" and exported them to R. 
Step 2: Data cleaning to remove punctuation and stop-words. 
Step 3: Text mining to extract the most frequent word that was used  
Step 4: Made a word cloud out of the remaining words. 

Uses of getting the world cloud real-time?

1. Keeps me up to data with what's happening around
2. Allows me to see the most-tweeted terms and topics
3. Real-time brand monitoring: I can engage the right team to react to the brand mentions and diffuse any possible negative situations.
