Twitter chat Monday 24th Sept.

We'll be kicking up a twitter storm on Monday 24th 4-5pm BST. We hope you'll be able to join us to discuss the challenges of using quantitative methods for social media research. Some of the questions we'll be discussing include:

• What is different when we use quant methods for social media research to when we use those methods for non-digital research?
• What value do data visualisations add to statistical analyses?
• Is big data changing the way we do research?
• What challenges does social media research pose for quantitative researchers wanting to draw robust samples?

Join in the debate by following #nsmnss, you can read more about how to join the chat in our earlier post: http://nsmnss.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/how-to-join-in-nsmnss-tweetchat.html 

Do join us and please spread the word.We'll also be arranging our first Blackboard session on the same issues for early in October for those of you who aren't able to join face to face events, we'd love to involve some of our international network members in this forum so if you'd like to be involved drop us an email nsmnss@natcen.ac.uk. More details shortly.
