[Air-L] Tracking social media buzz in Canada

[Peter Ryan]

As the Canadian election campaign swings into full gear, I just thought I would write and add another source for on-line informational politics in Canada: The Infoscape Research Lab (IRL) at Ryerson University.

The IRL tracks a number of social media sites and we are interested in partnerships and other opportunities for working on Canadian politics on-line.

Please explore the IRL’s website at:

All the best,

Peter

Here at the UBC School of Journalism we have just launched a new
online project, tracking the social media buzz on the federal
elections.

NetPrimeMinister.ca  aggregates blog content, YouTube videos, Twitter
comments and Flickr photos about the race, offering a different
perspective on the race to be Canada's next prime minister.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it.

Best, Alfred
