Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2012-02-05

@NSRiazat Yes, though there is something about owning all the texts I use. Perhaps the library is good to assess them pre-purchase? #phdchat in reply to NSRiazat #
@JohnAMacDonald2 Thanks for the references! #phdchat in reply to JohnAMacDonald2 #
@vickyjf Ouch. All the best for working through that one. in reply to vickyjf #
@animavit Will take a look; thanks! in reply to animavit #
@lynntrinko Excellent. Thus far, little writing. Having been working on the methodology and method instead. in reply to lynntrinko #
@kellybergstrom I am not opposed to buying texts; I just want them to be the right ones for me. Thanks for the specs. in reply to kellybergstrom #
@kellybergstrom Thanks. I know what you mean; I have specific needs though TOC are often not enough to decide if the text is the right one. in reply to kellybergstrom #
@miss_mcinerney Yes, diversity can be a good thing. in reply to miss_mcinerney #
@NSRiazat 😉 in reply to NSRiazat #
@NSRiazat Started to do that, and it still helps only so much without seeing more in depth. Not a problem if the books were cheap #phdchat in reply to NSRiazat #
@kellybergstrom Ahh, can you recommend a better one, given I am focusing on narrative inquiry? in reply to kellybergstrom #
@francesbell No, I did not know @cristinacost was doing narrative inquiry. Good reason to chat with her, since has been a while. Thanks. in reply to francesbell #
@animavit Thanks, though I am not planning to use grounded theory. Its influences, but not its specs. BTW, I have it already! #phdchat in reply to animavit #
@gmsainz No, not familiar with that text either. What do you find so valuable in it, especially given its age? #phdchat in reply to gmsainz #
@Currie Ahh, got it. You know, I tried Hootsuite, but just could not really get it. Seemed complicated and costly. in reply to Currie #
@miss_mcinerney What makes you like it so much more than any of the newer research method texts? #phdchat in reply to miss_mcinerney #
@miss_mcinerney Thanks for this reference; not familiar with it (though know of the author) #phdchat in reply to miss_mcinerney #
@DeeClayton Thanks for this reference; will take a peak at that one as well #phdchat in reply to DeeClayton #
@Eingang That seems to be the consensus, alas. Highly qualified author. #phdchat in reply to Eingang #
@klbz Good point; will take a look see at the TOC #phdchat in reply to klbz #
@Eingang I am doing narrative inquiry, and while I have my main text on that I am looking for some methods texts to help situate it #phdchat in reply to Eingang #
@Eingang Great. Let me know if you have a chance later 🙂 #phdchat in reply to Eingang #
@suifaijohnmak Yes, an area that fascinates me. Too bad not more directly related to work, but perhaps so in the future. in reply to suifaijohnmak #
@DeeClayton Thanks for that vote; these methods folks seem to churn out the titles and hard to buy without fully seeing them first #phdchat in reply to DeeClayton #
Would buy them all, but am trying to focus on temperance and fiscal responsibility with buying books (especially pricy ones) #phdchat #
or finally 'An Introduction to Qualitative Research' by Uwe Flick #phdchat #
or 'Interpreting Qualitative Data: Methods for Analyzing Talk, Text and Interaction' by David Silverman #phdchat #
or 'Doing Qualitative Research: A Comprehensive Guide' by David Silverman #phdchat #
Planning to buy some (more) research methods texts. Any thoughts on Doing Qualitative Research by David Silverman? #phdchat #
@suifaijohnmak Yes, right in my area of thesis research! #phdchat in reply to suifaijohnmak #
If you are working in the area of doctoral supervision see the current issue of Quality Assurance in Education #phdchat http://t.co/ywa4Nlhu #

@jeandanielmtl Excellent! in reply to jeandanielmtl #
@lindathestar Well, if you can locate an exact spot, then perhaps calk? in reply to lindathestar #
@lizith Give 'em a beer and peanuts, and perhaps they will leave you alone! in reply to lizith #
@lindathestar Is there a way to determine where they are coming in? in reply to lindathestar #
@HendraAgustian Yes but some are more homophobic than others. Bachman Santorum and Perry are bigoted toxic candidates. At least 2 are gone in reply to HendraAgustian #
Today is a day for me to work on my thesis chapter one draft. Will have to blog about where I am with it #phdchat #
@ai1sa Ahh, that is the text the cat did not like. Ironic. in reply to ai1sa #
@lindathestar Goodness. Is it any hot weather or based on humidity and the like? in reply to lindathestar #
@ASBO_Allstar That's a challenge showing our richness of identity in a single place while some readers are only interested in certain parts in reply to ASBO_Allstar #
@ai1sa I found the APA blog and their taking of questions to be excellent #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa I love getting books in the mail. Reminds me that I need to order some more methods texts today #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@lindathestar Goodness, sounds horrible. Why are they there? in reply to lindathestar #
@1080Group Wish I could be there! in reply to 1080Group #
@TeoBishop What are you knitting? in reply to TeoBishop #
I have been using #YoruFukurou as my Twitter app for 3 weeks now and love it. I just wish they had tech support or answer Tweets. #
@Currie What happened to it? BTW, why do you archive hash tags? in reply to Currie #
I wonder how many people remember that Mitt Romney's Mormon Church is vehemently anti-gay. #
@LancasterUni Thank you. Great idea to have this, especially for we postgraduates who are not on campus. in reply to LancasterUni #
Hurray for Lara! #FourWeddings #TLC #
@MizzPriss1 Love Lara (and I work with her). #FourWeddings #TLC in reply to MizzPriss1 #
I have never been so interested in watching weddings before. #FourWeddings #TLC #
Watching #FourWeddings on #TLC Tonight my colleague Lara is on it. Go, Lara!! #
@ai1sa Did you get a reply from APA? #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@ASBO_Allstar Look forward to reading about it #phdchat in reply to ASBO_Allstar #
What a long week; need to take it easy this evening. #
