On Thursday at 1:15 pm we’re gathering masters and PhD students (and other researchers) who are writing about social media at the coffee bar at the University Library here in Bergen – look for a gang of social media types sitting round a table with a little sign saying “Social Media!” This first time we’ll mainly just try to get to know each other and talk about what we’re all working on – and of course figure out what the best way to proceed would be. As I wrote a couple of weeks ago, I think a lot of people are working on social media in very different departments without really knowing that there are other people out there. If you’re in Bergen and interested, do come. And if you know someone who should come, please let them know about it!

    Won’t be in Bergen, but still interested. Will you be recording a podcast or a filming it?
    I think some people in my department will want to expand their knowledge on social media.

  2. William Patrick Wend

    I second the podcast idea! That would be wonderful.

  3. Jill Walker Rettberg

    Oh, I don’t think filming or recording it would be a great idea – we’re trying to start a local network and support and nurture students and scholars new to the field of social media. There are lots of places to discuss social media online, and to listen to other peoples’ interesting thoughts about it – but so far in Bergen not much opportunity to discuss it f2f with other students and scholars.

    Something to discuss and share:

    Nice article about the creation of Underskog.no.

    Suksess med studiesirkel (PÂ H¯yden): Among researchers where I work, “social media” is a no-no, whereas at several other departments at the same university, they are serious research objects!!!

    A while ago there was only use of social media for contacting your friends and family, sharing your stories, uploading your pictures but now there are so many uses for that and which is really good. In fact, there are many study groups on social media where students are getting enough information regarding their academic issues. Apart from that there is also nursing assignment writing help and many other assistance available at reasonable cost.

Do people flock to talks about ChatGPT because they are scared?

Whenever I give talks about ChatGPT and LLMs, whether to ninth graders, businesses or journalists, I meet people who are hungry for information, who really want to understand this new technology. I’ve interpreted this as interest and a need to understand – but yesterday, Eirik Solheim said that every time […]
