In between last week’s ECREA conference in Hamburg, where we presented some of our methodologies and early outcomes from the Mapping Online Publics project, and the AoIR conference in Gothenburg, where we’ll talk some more about tracking and mapping interaction in online social networks, I wanted to finally follow up on Jean’s teaser post of …
