Paper: "Mapping the global Twitter heartbeat: The geography of Twitter"
by J.C. DE MARTIN June 7, 2013

June 7, 2013

*Mapping the global Twitter heartbeat: The geography of Twitter* by Kalev H. Leetaru, Shaowen Wang, Guofeng Cao, Anand Padmanabhan, and Eric Shook. /First Monday/, Volume 18, Number 5 - 6 May 2013 http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4366/3654 doi:10.5210/fm.v18i5.4366 URL: http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4366/3654 Abstract In just under seven years, Twitter has grown to count nearly three percent of the entire global population among its active users who have sent more than 170 billion 140--character messages. Today the service plays such a significant role in American culture that the Library of Congress has assembled a permanent archive of the site back to its first tweet, updated daily. With its open API, Twitter has become one of the most popular data sources for social research, yet the majority of the literature has focused on it as a text or network graph source, with only limited efforts to date focusing exclusively on the geography of Twitter, assessing the various sources of geographic information on the service and their accuracy. More than three percent of all tweets are found to have native location information available, while a naive geocoder based on a simple major cities gazetteer and relying on the user--provided Location and Profile fields is able to geolocate more than a third of all tweets with high accuracy when measured against the GPS--based baseline. Geographic proximity is found to play a minimal role both in who users communicate with and what they communicate about, providing evidence that social media is shifting the communicative landscape. *Contents* Introduction <http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4366/3654#p1> The native geography of Twitter: Georeferenced tweets <http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4366/3654#p2> The linguistic geography of Twitter <http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4366/3654#p3> >From text to maps: The textual geography of Twitter <http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4366/3654#p4> Accuracy and language <http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4366/3654#p5> The geography of communication on Twitter <http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4366/3654#p6> The geography of linking disccourse <http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4366/3654#p7> User profile links <http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4366/3654#p8> Twitter versus mainstream news media <http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4366/3654#p9> Twitter's geography of growth and impact <http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4366/3654#p10> Conclusions <http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4366/3654#p11>

Book introduction: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2000962 3. Video of the talk at the Nexa Center in July 2012: http://nexa.polito.it/2012-frischmann BIOGRAPHY: Brett Frischmann is Professor of Law at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University, where he teaches intellectual property and Internet law. He is currently the Director of Cardozo's IP and Information Law Program, an Affiliated Scholar of the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School, and an Affiliated Faculty Member of The Vincent and Elinor Ostrom Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis, Indiana University. He received a BA in Astrophysics from Columbia University, an MS in Earth Resources Engineering from Columbia University, and a JD from the Georgetown University Law Center. After clerking for the Honorable Fred I. Parker of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and practicing at Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering in Washington, DC, he joined the Loyola University, Chicago law faculty in 2002. ABSTRACT: There is a debate raging concerning the merits of private control over (or conversely, open access to) various types of resources. It takes place in a number of fields, including the intellectual property and cyberlaw literatures, as well as broader public debates concerning propertization, privatization, deregulation, and commercialization of such diverse things as communications networks, government services, national forests and scientific research. On the private control side, there is robust economic theory in support of the market mechanism with minimal government regulation. By contrast, on the open access side, there is a frequent call for protecting the “commons,” but the theoretical support for this prescriptive call is underdeveloped from an economics perspective. In fact, many that oppose propertization, privatization, deregulation, and commercialization view economics (the discipline) with sincere suspicion and doubt. In this short course, Professor Brett Frischmann will discuss insights from his recent book, Infrastructure: The Social Value of Shared Resources (Oxford 2012). He will explain why there are strong economic arguments for managing and sustaining infrastructure resources in an openly accessible manner. Professor Frischmann will help students obtain a better understanding of how these fundamental resources generate value for society and how decisions regarding access to such resources affects social welfare. The key insights from this analysis are that infrastructure resources generate value as inputs into a wide range of productive processes and that the outputs from these processes are often public goods and social goods that generate positive externalities that benefit society as a whole. Managing such resources in an openly accessible manner may be socially desirable from an economic perspective because doing so facilitates these downstream productive activities. For example, managing the Internet infrastructure in an openly accessible manner facilitates active citizen involvement in the production and sharing of public and social goods. Over the past decade, this has led to increased opportunities for a wide range of citizens to engage in entrepreneurship, political discourse, social network formation and community building, among many other activities.
