N2 - Social media contributions are manifestations of humans acting as sensors, participating in activities, reacting to events, and reporting issues that are considered important. Harvesting this information offers a unique opportunity to monitor the human landscape, and gain unparalleled situational awareness, especially as it relates to sociocultural dynamics. However, this requires the emergence of a novel GeoSocial analysis paradigm. Towards this goal, in this paper we present a framework for collaborative GeoSocial analysis, which is designed around data harvesting from social media feeds (starting with twitter and flickr) and the concept of a collaborative GeoSocial Analysis Workbench (G-SAW). We present key concepts of this framework, and early test implementation results in order to demonstrate the potential of the G-SAW framework for enhanced situational awareness.
