• Group meeting(14/ Oct/ 2018): Akshata/ Ching-Han (Helen)/ Yin/ Hu Liang (Brett)
  
  Working with Yin to structure the MongoDB for Twitter Data and News Data. We have decided we need the following columns:
  News:
  ID, URL. Title, Text, Source
  
  Twitter Data:
  ID, Text, Time, Hashtags, Screen Name, Name, URL, Geo Enabled, Locatio,Organization
  

Questions:

1. Do we need to store this like an entity:number for news?
2. Do we need to collect the likes, retweets and comments for twitter data and for the news articles for twitter?
3. How can all 4 of us have access to the same instance of MongoDB from our laptops?
