Edit: Link removed! We're close (!) to hitting the maximum number of participants we can have according to our IRB approval. Thanks!!!

Would you miss Twitter if it were gone? What would you say at Twitter’s funeral?

We are researchers at University of Colorado Boulder conducting a survey about how people think about the role of Twitter in their lives, given recent changes to the platform. If you are at least 18 years old and a current or former user of Twitter, we’d love to hear from you!

I didn't notice anything about when it closes or when you expect results. Would you be willing to share them when you're ready? I'd like to cover them if I could.

@juxtacognition We will definitely be sharing! Including (assuming we get enough responses) a public page with eulogies from folks who agreed to that in the survey.

I'm so very curious. I feel like you'll catch some interesting insights, particularly between platforms. I will try to keep watch!

@juxtacognition also we’re launching another (much more quantitative) survey soon that’s specifically about mastodon!

That is right up my alley. This platform works so much different from everything else. It works predictably and not at the same time. Makes me so very curious.

I realize that this is a bad time to chat, given the point in the semester we're in, but I'd love a chance to chat. Perhaps this summer?

(I'll stalk the happenings on the web in the meantime.)

@juxtacognition sure! This summer might be better indeed. :) And my co-PI on this work is @bkeegan

Oh gosh! That would be amazing! I have so many questions. I follow you both quite closely academically. I am thrilled to see new stuff come out.

(I will try very hard not to nerd-fan girl too much! Promise!)
