EMERGENCE OF QUASI-STANDARD ANALYTICS
• Twitter data (#hashtag) + Twitter API + a variety of analytical tools:1. Patterns of activity volume within the temporal space of
an acute event;
2. Key actors and their levels of individual activity, as well as the extent to which they are referred to and retweeted;
3. Key themes, topics and inferred purposes (informed by qualitative analysis).
TOWARDS COMPARATIVE & CUMULATIVE APPROACHES
• Comparative work– Across different kinds of crisis events – Across different political, material, cultural contexts– Over time– e.g. #qldfloods and #eqnz, 2011-2013
• Cumulative analyses of similar events over time (how does the system evolve and learn?)
