New Social Media, New Social Science? is an online and offline community of practice exploring how social media are affecting the way we conduct social research and interact with research participants.
Tweet chats are simply pre-arranged virtual conversations, usually with a facilitator, around a theme and grouped around a single #hashtag. They are a quick and easy way to engage a number of people who share a common interest or challenge.
Our tweet chats are an opportunity for members from different countries to take place in a real-time discussion of the key issues, help frame the agenda for network and share real-life experiences of researching in the digital age. We will be holding a tweet chat the week before each of our face to face events and may host more if the group feels they are a useful medium. Each tweet chat will have a theme for the network to explore and this will help shape the issues covered by the network over the course of the year.
Our first tweetchat will take place 4-5pm (BST) on 17th July 2012. Join us by following #NSMNSS.
Read the next blog for information about how to join the chat.

NSMNSS - where do we go next?
The NSMNSS launch was largely about blurring the boundaries. The network is trying to build bridges rathern erect new barriers between disciplines and methods, our break out sessions separated people to talk about some key issues for research using social media.
Out of these discussions emerged initial thoughts on contents for our knowledge exchange seminars. We want the network to decide the final content of these events, so join the debate on methodspace in each of the following areas:
We're also open to whether this is the best way to carve up the issues the network should cover. If you have any thoughts on that too, please throw them into the mix as well - it's all up for grabs!
We're in the process of uploading the presentations and videos from the day to our YouTube channel and Methodspace. So keep an eye on those channels and our Twitter account for more info.
