I am working on a Digital Humanities book about Seinfeld and entertainment careers. I need a partner or helper who can get me updated IMDb data into spreadsheet form and help with the math. If anyone wants to or knows anyone who'd like to work on this, please get in touch.

Does anyone know if this conference is legit? A colleague was asking, but if it is I might want to go.

Just reposting so the hashtag is part of the post: My department, Literature, Communication & Cultural Studies, is launching to a fully online program in Digital Communication & Social Media starting next year. I'm the Program Director. We have a lot of needs in my department and in the school of Arts and Humanities--we have only one line language professor, only American Historians, no philosophy or religious studies folks on lines anymore. When we offer such courses, they are taught by adjuncts.
If I wanted to argue for a line for a #DH tt asst prof who could teach courses in the DC & SM program like Dig Com, Culture & Careers, Data Visualization, Social Media: Comm & Culture, maybe Digl Storytelling or Global Comm & Media, and eventually develop a course in DH, can I argue that there are DH people who could also do those other things too? I 'm the only person at my college doing any kind of DH and I do media studies, so I'm not sure what the skill set is. #digitalhumanities

Y’all, if you’re getting frustrated you’re not seeing the content you want to like news or intel you need on Mastodon, you really need to shift your thinking from algorithmic social media. Follower counts don’t matter much here. Likes do not matter to post reach. Without your interaction, you will just see a live FIFO firehose. Some quick fixes:
Hashtag your posts liberally and consistently, and follow key hashtags of interest to you. Hashtags matter a ton here to being seen.
Follow and also alert on accounts you always want to see content from.
Consider using the built in RSS feature for your feeds and for specific hashtags.
Consider switching to the more advanced UI in your preferences, so you can watch multiple filtered and unfiltered feeds. Or a different mobile app.
Use Fedifinder to follow all the accounts you followed on Twitter, and sync up your follow and block lists.
Avail yourself of the multiple public lists of hundreds of journalist accounts on Mastodon.

If I wanted to argue for a line for a #DH assistant professor who could teach courses in the DC & SM program like Dig Com, Culture & Careers, Data Visualization, Social Media: Comm & Culture, maybe Digital Storytelling or Global Comm & Media, and eventually develop a course in DH, can I argue that there are DH people who could also do those other things too (assuming they had time)? I am the only person at my college doing any kind of DH and I do media studies, so I'm honestly not sure what the skill set is.

Having watched the development of interactive data visualizations as a writer for Open Culture, I’ve seen my share of impressive examples, especially when it comes to mapping music.
