Great to meet the new @WebSciDTC students and talk about personal data markets. Cheers @lescarr and @raminetinati

[Prof Les Carr @lescarr]

A @WebSciDTC student has self-published a #NaNoWriMo novel. How will I represent this output on our EPSRC review? https://t.co/lNWynnbfu2

Thanks so much @WebSciDTC @susanjhalford for inviting me to share some early @VisSocMedLab research. Great critical Qs from #SotonVis crowd!

[Web Science DTC @WebSciDTC]

Twitter studies should describe the version of twitter being used: the features, affordances etc. that it offers. #SotonVis #webscience

[Web Science DTC @WebSciDTC]

How do you carry out predictive policing of crime on twitter when one of the participants is Lord Voldemort? #SotonVis #webscience

@FlyGirlTwo: Whats the role of celebrities in visual culture online? #SotonVis #webscience

[Web Science DTC @WebSciDTC]

Cameras used to be for special occasions; smartphones are now with us everywhere. #SotonVis

[Web Science DTC @WebSciDTC]

.@Flygirltwo: Between 750 million and 1.8 billion images are shared online every day #SotonVis

[Web Science DTC @WebSciDTC]

How do we archive all of this image data? What if twitter hadn't saved twitpic data? #SotonVis #webscience

[Web Science DTC @WebSciDTC]

Selfie as word of the year last year, photobomb this year, showing the cultural trends being portrayed online. #SotonVis

[🥬 @[email protected] @jessogden]

Consider anatomy and ecosystem of the tweet- should we see Twitter as a portal in/out to other #socialmedia platforms? #SotonVis #webscience

#SotonVis understanding images on social media by @Flygirltwo

[🥬 @[email protected] @jessogden]

What are the ethics of using/analysing social media that was intended to be deleted - but can still be found online? #webscience #SotonVis

[Web Science DTC @WebSciDTC]

Why is so much focus on text and connections when it comes to twitter research? #SotonVis #webscience

[Web Science DTC @WebSciDTC]

What are the different types of 'fake' image? And what were the intentions of the users behind them? #SotonVis

[Web Science DTC @WebSciDTC]

When things look too professional, we get suspicious. Real images can look "too real" and are assumed to be fake. #SotonVis

[Web Science DTC @WebSciDTC]

During hurricane sandy, people circulated fake images e.g. of sharks swimming through flood waters. Many creative examples! #SotonVis

[Web Science DTC @WebSciDTC]

During riots, many images were shared using twitpic, not Instagram. Tech changes, images are deleted. But they can still be found. #SotonVis
