Abstract
Social media were originally created as a means of communication, but have eventually become an important way of producing and sharing information and news. Beyond that, the scientific community’s interest in conducting studies in numerous fields using Twitter is growing daily. This paper presents a platform that simulates a microblogging, inspired by the Twitter layout, with the aim of creating an environment where social media-focused studies can be conducted without compromising ethical values. The end result is a in lab environment with the ability to present the content (in the format of post) to validate or investigate and record user interactions.
