After the somewhat delayed Australian Twitter News Index for week 34, this week’s edition is significantly more timely – though it must be said that after the two very exciting weeks we’ve had, week 35 turns out considerably more sedate. For the moment, at least, it looks like we’re more or less back to normal… …

It’s been another stupidly busy week for me, I’m afraid, so ATNIX 34/2012 is running a little late once again. So, let’s jump right in and see whether this week can measure up to the high drama we saw last time around. Standard background information: this analysis is based on tracking all tweets which contain …

Regular visitors to this site will be well familiar with our research into the use of social media in crisis communication – especially in the context of the 2011 Queensland floods and Christchurch earthquakes. We’re now about to commence a further major research project in this area, working in collaboration with the Queensland Department of …

At the start of the month, Jean and I had the pleasure of presenting a keynote at the Conference on Science and the Internet, organised by our ATN-DAAD research partners in Düsseldorf. I’m happy to report that videos of all three keynotes are now available on the CoSCI site – in particular, also check out …

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 …
