The new Gnip PowerTrack has many cool expanded capabilities, including longer rules, emoji search and cashtags. With a student account on DiscoverText ($24/month), the Twitter data price is $3/10,000 Tweets day forward and it includes access to the PowerTrack 2.0. You can do a lot of great exploratory research for free using the 30-day trial. The same volume pricing is available for historical data via Sifter, plus a fee of $20/day searched. In terms of viral Tweets, the automated duplicate detection and near duplicate clustering presents a road map of RTs and MTs, as well as a unique sampling method when coding data or training classifiers.

Dear Dominique,
please look at this site (http://socialmediadata.wikidot.com/) for an
extended list of social media tools. Many are stand alone applications and
some are packages within another software environment. Some focus on
tweets, while others on networks. Depending what you need one or the other
might serve your need.
Because your project seems issue related, a tool using the search API for
hashtag sampling seems most appropriate. I use yourtwapperkeeper
(standalone on a linux machine) and streamR in R (windows Mac or Linux).
The benefit of using a package in R is that R you can use R subsequently
for further analysis. But it's a steep learning curve, but definitely pays
off in the long run.

I’m about to start teaching a class on Internet Policy for third year undergraduate students at the School of Media and Communication, Leeds University today. Last year, we dipped our toes into using a class hashtag https://twitter.com/hashtag/intpolicyleeds?src=hash to send current news relating to Internet policy issues to one another using the hashtag. This year, I’m going to try to extend it a bit more by tweeting the folks we’re readings in class and by encouraging students more directly to contribute. I have helped teach similar classes at other universities in the past and I was wondering whether there was anyone on the list right now who is about to teach something similar who may want to work with us on this. I thought it might be fun if there was another class in another part of the world also contributing to the hashtag.
On another note, if you do teach a similar class, I’d be super interested in compiling reading lists/curricula/handbooks, so please ping me offlist and I’ll share the result back to the list if there is interest.
Best, Heather.

*apologies for crossposting*
Dear colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the following publication, which we hope might be of interest to you:
Raphaël Nowak and Andrew Whelan (eds.), *Networked Music Cultures: Contemporary approaches, emerging issues.*
This collection presents a range of essays on contemporary music distribution and consumption patterns and practices. The contributors to the collection use a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, discussing the consequences and effects of the digital distribution of music as it is manifested in specific cultural contexts. The widespread circulation of music in digital form has far-reaching consequences: not least for how we understand the practices of sourcing and consuming music, the political economy of the music industries, and the relationships between format and aesthetics. Through close empirical engagement with a variety of contexts and analytical frames, the contributors to this collection demonstrate that the changes associated with networked music are always situationally specific, sometimes contentious, and often unexpected in their implications. With chapters covering topics such as the business models of streaming audio, policy and professional discourses around the changing digital music market, the creative affordances of format and circulation, and local practices of accessing and engaging with music in a range of distinct cultural contexts, the book presents an overview of the themes, topics and approaches found in current social and cultural research on the relations between music and digital technology.

Starts at Noon. This issue - ISP's right to datamine their customers - showed up earlier in the year at a couple of congressional hearings in the form of a turf war between the FTC and the FCC. Telcos are citing some ancient right to collect calling data, while the FTC considers it a consumer issue. It was Harold Feld, who is on the panel today who somewhat set the thing in motion <https://www.publicknowledge.org/press-release/public- knowledge-urges-fcc-to-issue-nprm-to-protect-consumer-privacy>, while Richard Bennett, also speaking, considers the whole thing a massive overreach <http://hightechforum.org/fact-checking-privacy-nprm/> given that all the edge providers do it anyway. Today's keynote comes from Jon Lebowitz, who, according to Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Leibowitz>, is "founding Co-Chair of the "21st Century Privacy Coalition," a coalition of telecommunications companies and trade associations focused on relaxing federal privacy laws."

Message: 9 Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2016 16:16:35 +0000 From: Hector Nazario <Hector.Nazario@ithaka.org> To: "'air-l@listserv.aoir.org'" <air-l@listserv.aoir.org> Subject: [Air-L] Help JSTOR shape its development plans at AoIR 2016 Message-ID: <2ee10dbad102429f8b5cba02260a3df2@aa2exchmbx.office.share.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hello, everyone,
My name is Hector Nazario, and I am a Licensing Editor at JSTOR ( http://www.jstor.org), a not-for-profit organization committed to preserving scholarly literature.
JSTOR is exploring the possibility of developing a multi-content resource featuring journals, books and primary sources that examine the cultural impact of the Internet and technology in general, covering everything from computer applications in the arts to new media journalism, and beyond. The resource aims to bring together relevant scholarship from across the disciplines, including business, sociology, political science, communications, education, computer science, and more.
In an effort to get early feedback, I am attending the AoIR meeting next week in Berlin, and would love to hear from anyone planning to attend-researchers, graduate students and librarians-about how we can make this a resource compelling. I only have a few short questions, and it should take roughly 5-10 minutes of your time.
Please let me if you are interested in providing feedback in person (or over email if you're not attending/too busy to meet). I'm happy to share more details, as well as the actual questions.
Thank you all for reading and for any help!
Best regards,
Hector --- Hector Nazario Licensing Editor JSTOR 2 Rector Street, 18th Floor New York, NY 10006 Tel: 212-358-6462 www.ithaka.org
ITHAKA (www.ithaka.org) is a not-for-profit organization that helps the academic community use digital technologies to preserve the scholarly record and to advance research and teaching in sustainable ways. We provide innovative services that benefit higher education, including Ithaka S+R, JSTOR, and Portico.

Hello,
I wanted to share an announcement about my upcoming Digital Psychology Workshops across the USA and Canada, from Oct to Dec 2016.
My workshops are more practitioner focused. However, I'm sharing this on AoIR as the content is science-based, with my classic workshop grounded in behavioral science, and my latest workshop on user emotion and motivation, grounded in a combination of neuroscience and psychology.
As practitioner training, I had to simplify the science, so it's more appropriate for scholars who are interested in gaining a fast high-level birds-eye view of the literature, or who operate at the intersection between theory and practice.
Grateful if you could share with anyone who may be interested.
Warm regards,
Brian
