[JoPP-Public] Journal of Peer Production Twitter handle?

Fri Mar 9 23:28:07 CET 2018

Hi Kat

My 2 cents: I don't go on Twitter much. Usually use #peerproduction to advertise releases. By coincidence this report just came out:

The Grim Conclusions of the Largest-Ever Study of Fake News
Falsehoods almost always beat out the truth on Twitter, penetrating further, faster, and deeper into the social network than accurate information.
https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/03/largest-study-ever-fake-news-mit-twitter/555104/

I can see the propaganda / diffusion of information benefits and I thank you for proposing to organise a jopp presence. My only concern is that that deliberations or connections may start occurring on a (privately owned) platform which people on this list who are not active on Twitter might then miss out on. So could there be a way to publish a weekly, biweekly, monthly (?) digest of notable jopp Twitter activity?

cheers

Mathieu

Subject: [JoPP-Public] Journal of Peer Production Twitter handle?

Hello all,

Just wondering if you've discussed already (or made plans for) setting up a Twitter handle for the Journal of Peer Production?

I'm bringing it up now because a lot of people ask me for one when I discuss the special issues with them - and I bet it's the same for each of you. I also regularly see people tweeting about the journal, but without a handle to link others on Twitter to it.

Given tweets can be quite a useful mechanism for sharing readings widely with many folk at once when new issues come out, I'd be happy to maintain an account with a few others here if anyone else is interested.

Just putting it out there as an offer, and apologies if it's already been talked about before I was conscious on this list ;)

- Kat
