Just a quick plug for yet another project blog: as regular readers of this blog may know, with my colleague Jean Burgess and our collaborators Lars Kirchhoff and Thomas Nicolai at Sociomantic Labs [4] I was successful in winning an ARC Discovery [5] grant in last year’s round, for a three-year project aiming to map public communication in Australia across a range of social media spaces.
With the project now getting underway in earnest (and we’ve already presented our methodology and early outcomes at a number of conferences), Jean and I have now set up Mapping Online Publics [6] as a blog to cover our research methods and outcomes.
To get us going, I’ve already posted up a few articles from our look at the use of Twitter in the current Australian federal election campaign (both analysing topical [7] comments [8], and outlining the methods [9] we use to do so), and I’ll start backfilling the site with links to the relevant papers and presentations soon (those are already online [10] here at snurb.info [11], of course).
So, keep an eye on the new blog – and we’d love to hear your feedback on our work!
