Carla Gentry CSPO's curator insight, Today, 9:47 AM

"We analyzed the data to find out what patterns existed, and identify what those patterns were," DeMeo told InformationWeekin a phone interview. "We were looking for a query that would demonstrate not just the existence of patterns, but also (how) to monetize ... them for retailers and manufacturers that we work with."

Historicizing New Media: A Content Analysis of Twitter

Monica Morrison's curator insight, Today, 9:06 AM

Abstract: This paper seeks to historicize Twitter within a longer historical framework of diaries to better understand Twitter and broader communication practices and patterns. Based on a review of historical literature regarding 18th and 19th century diaries, we created a content analysis coding scheme to analyze a random sample of publicly available Twitter messages according to themes in the diaries. Findings suggest commentary and accounting styles are the most popular narrative styles on Twitter. Despite important differences between the historical diaries and Twitter, this analysis reveals long-standing social needs to account, reflect, communicate, and share with others using media of the times.
