At the start of July, I had the pleasure of being one of the three speakers at the inaugural Digital Methods as Mainstream Methodology workshop in Bristol (I posted my presentation from the event here a little while ago). I’m happy to say that the DMMM folks have now also published a series of interviews with the speakers on their YouTube channel. My chat about the importance of ‘natively digital’ methods for the study of Twitter as a platform for public communication is below, but I’d also encourage you to check out the interviews with Eric Meyer from the Oxford Internet Institute and Christine Hine from the University of Surrey.
