While I liveblogged all the sessions I [...]

I blogged and Tweeted so much during the AoIR IR11 conference, that I did not have the time to upload any of the photos I took during my time in Gothenburg. Just uploaded them to Flickr. Want to see all the other photos from the conference? Those can be found at Flickr here with the [...]

Here is the final session of the conference. What a light way with a serious subject to end a very full AoIR IR11. I wonder how people have the time for this, and I wonder what the effect would be if I tried one or more of these?
Moreover, I wonder too what extent people [...]

e-Research is the distributed and collaborative use of digital tools and data in the production of scientific knowledge. Interesting definition; wonder who developed it? Some really interesting researchers from the Oxford Internet Institute. Eric T. Meyer, Ralph Schroeder, and Lucy Power.
Discussion of accessing files from Friendfeed, specifically about Friendfeed groups that can be highly [...]

I Tweeted about this [...]

Alas, the room was just changed, and I fear many people do not know it was changed as not everybody looks on the notification board or follow [...]

Glad I was able to make the first session this morning; thankfully today began at 9:00 instead of the 8:30 yesterday.
This morning’s session is about digital storytelling, something I have never been able to get my mind around as a research methodology / process / strategy.
Much of this work started and was supported [...]

I did something I have not done in some time at a conference; I took notes by hand during the wonderful “Academic Career Development Workshop for Research Students and Early Career Academics” pre-conference session. I did not want to hear tap tap tap, nor did I want to have the possibility of multitasking, so I [...]

Jacob Linaa Jensen (who I spoke with last for the first time in the conference) began with a background of this topic.
Seems norms of privacy are not uniform, based 0n age and values and norms and such. Some people feel more confortable sharing everything, while others are more concerned about various things.

Quite fitting that there is a session on Twitter here at AoIR, even given the number of Tweets coming from #ir11.
Axel Maireder is speaking now about Twitter for transnational public discourses in Europe. Quite interesting how much research is now being done using Twitter, and how it is much more of just a microblogging [...]
