Thesis Tweetstream

In addi­tion to my work on games, play, and vir­tual worlds at The Pro­gram in Com­mu­ni­ca­tions, Cul­ture, and Tech­nol­ogy, I am for­tu­nate enough to coor­di­nate the under­grad­u­ate senior sem­i­nar in Amer­i­can Stud­ies at George­town. It’s a fan­tas­tic job. One of the goals of my work with these stu­dents is to find novel ways of lever­ag­ing tech­nol­ogy in the pro­duc­tion of their senior theses.

This year, we’re mak­ing daily use of Twit­ter to plot the ups and downs of our research. I call it the The­sis Tweetstream.

You can look in on our progress by vis­it­ing the auto­mated, pub­lic tweet-wall I’ve built (be sure to give it time to load):
