I'm not doing this site any more, but I did want to share that Nomy's (@bitmannomy) final article from her PhD has been published in the International Journal of Communication. Like everything she wrote, it is complex, deep and touching. Please do read. https://t.co/Ag0cJrA7oD

Felt like a good time to remember this. It wasn't even that long ago.

The wonderful @kkatot talking about apps for mental well being. Turns out they can be stressful too. #aoir2022

Oh boy that was powerful.

In a surprisingly full room, @tamaleaver is telling us all about why Adam Mosseri is the internet’s top dad #AoIR2022

Yes, you should definitely come to this one. Aram and I will be presenting our theory of synthetic sociality in which we argue that what is truly new about digital communication is that it allows for social situations that are inconceivable in physical terms. #aoir2022

Thanks!
