Our team just launched this blog to review the influence of the 45th President's twitter account as a data analytic post mortem.
This overview of the now defunct @realDonaldTrump account describes its high-level features, the first in a series of posts offering post mortem insight into its influence. link.medium.com/QKEzgBfMwdb
Oh my dear @katestarbird. You so don't deserve this. And this ironically makes the point of how much we need your research so very desperately.
This quoted post is unavailable.
What a brilliant future we have in computing research: we are in good hands! Recording to come.

I didn't read this in high school, but if I were teaching, this is the upsetting short story I'd assign: xitter.cf/jonnysun/status/147662…
Thanks to @ByBrianBennett for this piece. And, yes, I am back to being up nights.
When Trump tweets, “it makes the information world we are leaning on even more unreliable, even more erratic,” says @CUBoulder information science Prof. Leysia Palen. @palen's research shows Trump's Twitter account "thrashes" the Internet unlike any other time.com/6170560/elon-musk-t…
We have a new paper about #covid19 vaccine #disinfo and its surprising links to the horrific #Tuskegee Syphilis Study. A video summarizes main points: tinyurl.com/polyvocality. Full paper: tinyurl.com/polyvocalitypape…. And it won a #CHI2022 Honorable Mention!! @neurdy @JenningsatCU
Things have been unspeakably difficult here.
700+ employees & 600+ students live in areas that were evacuated due to the recent fires. In all, nearly 1,000 structures were lost, including the homes of dozens of CU Boulder students, faculty and staff, and reports of other damages are expected to rise. bit.ly/3mYtJuF

Last night our department chair Robin Burke, who directs @that_recsys_lab, spoke to @9NEWS about how content gets recommended to us on social media, how those recommendations might be biased, and how his research is tackling what we might do about it. 9news.com/video/news/local/n…

I experienced first-hand after Hurricane Katrina the critical role data plays in an equitable recovery. Today, the stakes for data science to serve the American people have never been higher. I’m honored to be joining @WHOSTP as the new U.S. Chief Data Scientist 📊🇺🇸
I'm looking forward to reading this issue! Thanks to @adapperprof!

Wow--can't wait to read this, @amyjko!!!
I wrote a book about information! It covers power, oppression, data, info, knowledge, tech, systems, seeking, privacy, security, policy, design, industry, health, democracy, sustainability, and more.
• The book: faculty.washington.edu/ajko/…
• My process: medium.com/bits-and-behavior…
This looks terrific!
Trying to better understand disinformation studies? @alicetiara @rachelkuo @Sjonescameron and @moiragweigel have put together a fabulous syllabus: citap.unc.edu/research/criti…
I now understand the example of all the strange phenomena we encountered with @realDonaldTrump to be a sign of what is to come. If the big social media providers don't invest significant resources into managing hate speech, workarounds are inevitable, & sooner rather than later.
Curious about #trump's impact on the social media information ecosystem? Take a look at our blog that steps through how the volume of his messages and his followers is echoed in its corners: post-mortem-realdonaldtrump.…
