As the Canadian election campaign swings into full gear, I just thought I would write and add another source for on-line informational politics in Canada: The Infoscape Research Lab (IRL) at Ryerson University. The IRL tracks a number of social media sites and we are interested in partnerships and other opportunities for working on Canadian politics on-line. Please explore the IRL’s website at: http://www.infoscapelab.ca All the best, Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Malachy Ryan, PhD Candidate Instructor, Department of Politics and Public Administration Rogers Fellow, Communication and Culture Programme Infoscape Lab Research Associate: www.infoscapelab.ca Ryerson University ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alfred Hermida <alfred.hermida@ubc.ca> Date: Tue, Sep 9, 2008 at 6:03 PM Subject: [Air-L] Tracking social media buzz in Canada To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Here at the UBC School of Journalism we have just launched a new online project, tracking the social media buzz on the federal elections. NetPrimeMinister.ca aggregates blog content, YouTube videos, Twitter comments and Flickr photos about the race, offering a different perspective on the race to be Canada's next prime minister. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it.
