  1. Tonight I had the misfortune to discover the terrible post-grunge cover of "Careless Whisper." As if George Michael hasn't suffered enough.
  2. For years I believed my dual passions for hip-hop and quantitative graphs were fundamentally incompatible. Not so: jamphat.com/rap/
  3. @katypearce @nathanjurgenson indeed. Data also teach us to be very skeptical of what we think we "see"
  4. @katypearce @alexismadrigal A few noncontroversial defs for "capital" (IMO): job apps, online ed, creating a professional online presence
  5. @treycausey Check the Chronicle, IHE, @aejmcjobs, and the CRTNET listerv natcom.org/crtnet/ . You on the market this coming fall?
  6. Cool! Hope you find it useful MT @drbekafigo @dfreelon Looking for info on intercoder reliability and came across ur website & recal2.
  7. @JessieNYC The NYT didn't make that part up. It's a live issue with a vibrant research agenda behind it which I wish they'd have cited
  8. @alexismadrigal It's not like it's hard to define "meaningful": e.g., uses that foster learning and various forms of human capital
  9. NYT profiles SES-driven digital literacy divide; fails to explain what constitutes "meaningful" device use nytimes.com/2012/05/30/us/… via @cjoh
  10. That article's almost 30 yrs old; rly hope things've chged MT @tressiemcphd white scholars of cvl rights dont cite blks bit.ly/KBBi0I
  11. @atapiador @sinanaral @bkeegan @maizeandblue @alexhanna Thanks! Seems like FB API studies are really few and far between...
  12. @beh_zod Thx. I'm sure there's probably some super-obvious reason there's next to no Facebook API research out there
  13. Yup, that's way worse than slavery & Jim Crow MT @MacMcClelland he said when Obama loses "colored people" will riot & take over the country
  14. Anyone done or seen any social science or HCI studies based on data pulled from the Facebook API? Having trouble finding them. #illciteyou
  15. That's one hell of a #mediaeffect MT @daveweigel: 36-poll shift in black MD support for gay marriage slate.me/KCwoNL
  16. A few words of #hoodwisdom found on a storefront wall near my apt: "What Is Snitch" twitter.com/dfreelon/statu…
