Social Media Research, Live on the Web

(May 6, 2011) Social media presents a new chance to answer old questions from the social sciences. Eric Gilbert shares his projects as an academic to collect data on interactions in social media. They range from exploring the theory of tie strength in Facebook and Twitter to showing people an abstract view of one's current email load.

And Stanford University has that sort of policy that they sell themselves commercially. They lack the usual seriousness, that makes the colleges just settling in educating the privileged social groups.

Social media research is a trademark that the establishment recruited sociologists to develop, as to create the illusion of a functional government and a fix to social issues.
