I’m in Boulder, Colorado, at the International Conference On Weblogs and Social Media, for which my company was an organizing sponsor. ICWSM “aims to bring together researchers from different subject areas (e.g., computer science, linguistics, psychology, statistics, sociology, multimedia and semantic web technologies) and foster discussions about ongoing research on Weblogs and social media.” My day-to-day focuses almost exclusively on the marketing and commercial applications of social media, so this gathering of research scientists and technical presentations from the academic and commercial worlds is enlightening. Here’s the ICWSM blog, with presentation summaries and full paper downloads.
