[Linganth] twitter piece for undergrads?

[Browne,Kate]

Thank you to everyone who offered a suggestion for my query. Now that my grades are in, I have compiled the list and am attaching it here. Also attached is a piece called Twitteracy that Steve Bialostok offered.

Happy summer to all!

Subject: twitter piece for undergrads?

Greetings all,

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good, clear piece of work on twitter or social media of the kind that David Crystal wrote on texting in 2008? I'd like to locate something more current along that line.

One piece is the 2015 AE article: #Ferguson: Digital protest, hashtag ethnography, and the racial politics of social media in the US. However, the class has already spent a good deal of time discussing language and race, so I am hoping to find another option.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Kate Browne
