on May 23rd, we are organizing a workshop on data-driven social media analysis in Amsterdam, presenting 4CAT and the YouTube Data Tools, and discussing participants' research projects cat4smr.humanities.uva.nl/index.php/2022…

Today we had the chance to meet the wonderful team cat4smr Digital Methods to learn about their tools for social media research. Make sure to check out 4CAT to capture and analyze images across platforms. Great feature: the image wall! Stijn Peeters Bernhard Rieder #bildprotesteMETHODS

Newly published: the write-up of our tool 4CAT, which facilitates research with social media (big) data for without requiring programming/API knowledge on platforms including Twitter, Reddit, TikTok, Telegram, 4chan and more: 🔓computationalcommunication.org/ccr/article/vi…

On November 22nd, we are organizing an online workshop on 4CAT (data capture and analysis for many platforms, including Twitter and TikTok) and the YouTube Data Tools. Info and registration here: cat4smr.humanities.uva.nl/index.php/2022…

Not good news. Just in from @TwitterDev , which confirms the elimination of the academic API, and the replacement with a "low level of API usage" for $100/month.

a big deal: Elon Musk, Y. Bengio, S. Russell, ⁦⁦Max Tegmark⁩, V. Kraknova, P. Maes, ⁦Grady Booch, ⁦Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸⁩, ⁦Tristan Harris⁩ & over 1,000 others, including me, have called for a temporary pause on training systems exceeding GPT-4 futureoflife.org/open-letter/pa…

on May 8 (13:00-16:00) in Amsterdam, we are organizing another workshop on social media analysis with 4CAT and the YouTube Data Tools, more info here: cat4smr.humanities.uva.nl/index.php/2023…

Watch this really important discussion on A.I. safety. Especially if you are in a public function such as journalism, academia, or policy ... youtube.com/watch?v=xoVJKj…

Alette Schoon and Henri-Count Evans oriented the Winter School participants to the use of Digital Methods Initiative’s 4Cat. This open source tool scrapes and sorts data from social media platforms, such as TikTok, 4chan, Instagram and Tumblr. We ❤️ 4Cat #digimethods2023

RIP academic Twitter API. Access has been discontinued. It is hard to square Twitter's actions with the self proclaimed commitment to transparency and regulations like the #DSA. The actions also remind us of the academic over-reliance of Twitter for research. But still 🤯

Allemaal hartstikke leuk die protesten. Maar heb na al die tijd nog altijd geen antwoord op de vraag waarom uitgerekend deze drassige postzegel per se de koeiencapital van Europa moet zijn.
