Difficulties

Encoding Issues: The initial challenge was dealing with encoding problems, where certain characters in the CSV file were not correctly mapped, causing import errors in MySQL Workbench. This required identifying the problematic characters and converting the file to a compatible encoding format (UTF-8).

Data Cleanliness: The presence of non-ASCII characters indicated that the dataset might have inconsistencies or special characters that could complicate data processing and analysis. This necessitated cleaning the data to ensure successful import and future operations.

Interesting Observation

One interesting thing about the dataset is the diversity in the user data. For example, the locations of users span multiple countries and cities, including:

Sibolga, Indonesia Al Abyār, Libya Wādī as Sīr, Jordan Matera, Italy This geographical diversity highlights the wide-reaching nature of social media platforms and the global spread of user bases. It can provide valuable insights into regional interests and behaviors, which can be useful for targeted marketing, social analysis, and understanding cultural trends.
