I’m following up a little further on my post of our first, very tentative and incomplete, map of the Australian Twittersphere, for another slightly more detailed look. First, though – also in response to some of the Twitter comments to the first posting, here’s another clarification of what you’re seeing. In the first place, the …

We’ve been neglecting the blog a little – not because there hasn’t been anything worth writing about, but rather because there’s been too much going on. So, before our big trip to Europe in August and September (more on that soon), it’s time to clear the backlog of updates. And what better way to start …
Well, getting stuck in Melbourne for a day and being unable to participate in day one of our ATN-DAAD workshop with Cornelius Puschmann and Katrin Weller from the University of Düsseldorf has at least enabled me to put the finishing touches on something I’ve been meaning to do for some time: to collect and share …

Hello! Will Dawson here. Axel and Jean have been kind enough to take on a VRES student over summer (think of it like the work-experience kid of the academic world). Basically, VRES (or Vacation Research Experience Scholarship) is a QUT scheme that allows undergrads to get a taste of research, before moving on to higher …
Activity on this blog has slowed down a little since Jean and I have come back to Australia from our European adventures, as we work through a backlog of other more or less urgent tasks – but while we wait to get back to some hands-on work on the Mapping Online Publics project, I thought …
So, we had ourselves a fine little panel on tracking and mapping social media at the AoIR 2010 conference in Gothenburg today. Below is the presentation from our Mapping Online Publics project (with audio) – and over at snurb.info you can also find my blog posts from the presentations by Hallvard Moe, Christian Nuernbergk, and …
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 …

(Crossposted from snurb.info, where you can find my full coverage of ECREA 2010.) Hamburg. My own paper was next at ECREA 2010. Here’s the presentation – and I also recorded the audio for it, and will add it as soon as I can which is now attached to the slides. As it turned out, one …
