Mapping Online Publics

It’s been a busy few days: last week, Jean, Stephen and I participated in the magnificent Düsseldorf Workshop on Interdisciplinary Approaches to Twitter Analysis (DIATA11), which our colleagues and collaboration partners from the University of Düsseldorf organised – it featured a veritable who’s who of Twitter and social media researchers from Europe and beyond. Stephen has already posted the slides and audio for his own talk here, and belatedly, I’m now following suit with our joint keynote from the event (audio also included). The Düsseldorfers have also set up a Slideshare group for the event, and are currently compiling a collection of all the presentations – keep an eye on it, there’s some excellent work there!

And today, I presented a paper on user-led innovation on Twitter (and the challenges for it in a proprietary social media environment) at the Challenge Social Innovation 2011 conference in Vienna. Slides and audio for that talk are also below – and the full paper is also online.
