Hopefully I will soon break out of this funk of posting about either Mastodon or Twitter. But not yet! This post is to say that: I made a static archive of tweets for @quantixed and for @clathrin. There, you can read all my posts, which ended in 2022. Edit: removed the archives in October 2024. How did I do it and why? I made the archive with this excellent tool written by Darius Kazemi.

There’s plenty of guides to getting going on Mastodon, aimed at people leaving Twitter. I just wanted to post a couple of technical points about making the switch that might be of interest to people who maintain webpages with Twitter content (feeds, embeds).

Part of a series on the development of Early Career Researchers in the lab. We spent a session discussing how to create a research profile. This led to a second session on CVs.

Starting this week, ScholCommLab co-director Stefanie Haustein is publishing a series of guest posts on the Altmetric Blog about the role of Twitter in scholarly communication.

My activity on twitter revolves around four accounts. I try to segregate what happens on each account, and there’s inevitably some overlap. But what about overlap in followers? What lucky people are following all four? How many only see the individual accounts? It’s quite easy to look at this in R. So there are 36 lucky people (or bots!) following all four accounts.

Snapchat soll das neue Ding für den Online-Journalismus sein, sagen viele. Bei dem Instant-Messaging-Dienst bleiben private Nachrichten maximal 10 Sekunden auf dem Bildschirm, öffentliche Geschichten verschwinden nach 24 Stunden. Vor allem Teenager nutzen den Dienst. Und so hat Buzzfeed-Autor Ben Rosen (29) Unterricht bei seiner 13-jährigen Schwester genommen, um zu lernen, wie man richtig snapchattet.
