I’m thinking there is also analysis you could do on twitter user first names – the US census bureau publish baby first names going back ages, you can use this to determine gender and I think in some cases you can get some hints on age. The popularity of different first names changes over time. We McKinney discusses the dataset in his book “Python for Data Analysis”

I just referenced this post in a rather interesting Quora answer that you might enjoy reading. In retrospect, I probably could have just referenced this post and saved myself a lot of typing 🙂

Here’s the Quora question/answer: How can I find Twitter accounts with a lot of female followers aged 18-35.

I found it fairly easy to get it running and it fairly good at finding faces in images but never found a good way to train it to recognise them.
