Here's one final update from the October conference tour, before we get back to covering new work: our research into the political uses of Twitter<\/em> continues apace as well, of course, and during the AoIR<\/a> and ECREA<\/a> conferences Tim Highfield and I also had opportunities to discuss some of the recent findings from our observations of Twitter<\/em> use at state and federal levels in Australia. At ECREA 2012 in Istanbul, we took part in a panel which brought together the participants in our new Norwegian-funded research project on social media and elections<\/a>, as well as some additional friends and colleagues; our paper, co-authored with Stephen Harrington, explored the use of Twitter<\/em> by candidates in the March 2012 Queensland state election (which at the time I also covered here at Mapping Online Publics \u2013 see the various<\/a> blog<\/a> posts<\/a> for<\/a> details<\/a>).
