Last week I complained about things getting boring – ATNIX for week 32 came in right on average, and had very few surprises. I finished by hoping that week 33 would turn out a little more exciting – and it looks like I got my wish. This week’s edition is positively buzzing with unusual stories …

So, we’re back to our usual schedule for the Australian Twitter news circulation index, at least for now – here are the results for the past week – which, let’s note, was also the last week of the London Olympics, and so presented the final opportunity for Australian rights licencee nineMSN or any rival news …

No, I haven’t forgotten about ATNIX this week – but a less than straightforward homeward trip and a bad cold have conspired against my getting the results for week 31 (30 July – 5 August) out any earlier. But, better late, than never, here they are, hopefully to be followed by ATNIX 32/2012 in a …

Over the past month, my colleagues Jean Burgess, Tim Highfield, Tanya Nitins and I have been travelling through Europe in various combinations to participate in workshops and conferences which address some of the key themes of our research – methodological innovation in social media research, and the role of Twitter in the wider media ecology. …

Another week, another ATNIX – and the last one for a while that I have to write from a hotel room while travelling in Germany. This is also the last mostly pre-Olympic ATNIX, covering the week of 23-29 July 2012; next week we’ll see whether and how the increased focus on sports during these weeks …

I’m still on the road for a number of research workshops and presentations in Germany, so this week’s version of our Australian Twitter news circulation index ATNIX has been somewhat slow in coming. On the upside, though, the server trouble we experienced last week has been addressed now, so we once again have a full …

I’ve just published an article about our first few weeks of ATNIX results over at The Conversation – but here, we’re already pushing ahead with the next week’s index. This one, I’m afraid, suffers from ‘difficult fourth week’ syndrome, though: we collect our data using a server based at the fabulous NeCTAR initiative, a shared …

I may be in Europe at the moment (I write this from a hotel room in Munich, where tomorrow my colleagues and I will be participating in a symposium on methodological innovation that is organised by our colleagues at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität) – but that doesn’t mean that there won’t be another ATNIX this week. Here …

I spent today at the University of the West of England in Bristol, as a guest of the Digital Methods as Mainstream Methodology network, a fabulous new initiative supported by the National Centre for Research Methods in the UK. At this first of three DMMM workshops to be held in 2012 and 2013, I presented …
A little over a week ago, I introduced the Australian Twitter News Index (ATNIX), our new measure of how links to Australian news and opinion sites circulate on Twitter. This is a work in progress, obviously, and I’m thankful for a few helpful comments about additional sites to track and further details to extract from …
