After finishing last week's column I had to drop the project for a couple of days while I put out other fires. When I returned to it I discovered that things weren't working as I had expected. http://www.itworld.com/software/66245/analyzing-twitter-excel-part-2#comments Software Opinion Excel social media Twitter XML Fri, 10 Apr 2009 11:13:06 -0400 ITworld staff 66245 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/development/65844/xmlfox-helps-you-create-clean-xml-free XML is a powerful and flexible way to encode data, but designing XML "schema" (the rules by which data is encoded) is often difficult.
