danah boydCalling all science/tech folks: Do you have thoughts about xkcd? Parker Bach & I are trying to understand the role that xkcd plays in the scientific/technical community. Will you share your thoughts? https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=v4j5cvGGr0GRqy180BHbR64w9CfkmX9HrkRf2PpIZWBUQ1oxRERXVFFIRERIQUhJSDhDNVoxUU1CNS4u&route=shorturl And since we are doing a snowball sample, please spread the word!
JT Leskinen@zephoria Shared here and over at Linkedin. Gotta also give a shout out to It’s complicated, been re-reading it for my thesis recently 🦾
@milesizdead Awww - thanks!
Lennart Hengstmengel@zephoria will you be sharing the results / conclusions of the survey?
@lhengstmengel We will certainly share the results of the study. But the survey is just one part. And it’s not a quant study so sharing the numbers alone would make zero sense.
Susan Calvin@zephoria sudo send out the survey to your friends.
Christoph MaierFirst, make me a sandwich.
Michal Migurski 🍉@zephoria why is “no” not an option for these questions? Not appreciating the survey design here.
Trisha Lynn 🇵🇭 🇺🇸 🇨🇦@trishalynn @migurski Sorry to annoy you. This isn’t a quant study by design. So we are trying to keep some of these questions light rather than serious even as we look for the breadth of perspectives.

Christoph G.@zephoria Munroe and Penrose were the main influences to make me grasp the close relation between Science and Philosophy.
kzeta has moved@zephoria you totally nerd sniped me
@zephoria oh snap, I forgot to list that one as one of my faves! 🤦🏻
Tobias@zephoria thus I was nerd-sniped…
Martin Vuillème (he/him)@zephoria I appreciate your final attention.
Markus Redeker 🐘@zephoria Will you later publish a list of the participants' favourite XKCD comics?
(((_SjG_)))@zephoria hypothesis: xkcd fills the ecological niche in the science/tech community that was previously occupied by The Far Side.
keeps vis.social running@zephoria I didn't know you were here!
Following you now :)
Kevin Marks@zephoria when Randall Monroe came to Google in 2007 it was quite an event https://youtu.be/zJOS0sV2a24?si=MqAEnsxqQ4Mv_oPQ

Likely Jan LukasI'm not a sci/tech person (except in the manner of Marshall McLuhan) but xkcd has always been interesting, thought-provoking, and frequently points me towards things (areas of study, natural phenomena, maths, etc) I didn't even know existed!
ReindeR Rustema@zephoria and at the end there the address [email protected] for input is shown!
The less the people know about how surveys and operating systems are made, the better they'll sleep at night.
What context will the results end up in,
and is this context going to be a walled garden with a corporate toll booth restricting access to the information contained within?
