Hello Maxwell,

My name is Christian Fuchs, I am professor at Uppsala University and chair of the European Sociological Association's Research Network for Communications and Media Research.


What is the role of social media like Occupii, Facebook and Twitter in occupations and protests? Was the Arab spring a "Twitter and Facebook" revolution? How does the Occupy movement use social media? Is it a social media movement or something different?

We are a group of researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden that is headed by me and that is keen to find out answers to these questions. Therefore we conduct the OccupyMedia! Survey. We invite some users of Occupii  to participate in it, and were therefore happy if you could take 15 minutes time in order to help us find out what role social media play in contemporary protests:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WG7JRG2

If you have any more questions about the survey, please contact us. If you do not find time to participate or simply find such surveys not interesting or annoying, then please simply ignore our request and excuse any inconvenience. Thanks a lot!

Further information about social media research and the background of this survey can be found in this article:

http://occupynewsnetwork.co.uk/why-social-media-research-matters-for-occupy/

If you find this survey a good idea, then we are happy if you can also tell others about it.

Best, Christian Fuchs

We are all unique and diverse, , each one of us has different individual talents and gifts, and also very similar human frailties On another website myself and others had a very long and very interesting discussion on arrogance / humility/ self esteem, being grounded knowing our own capabilities and appreciating and encouraging others capabilities, in otherwords sharing our skills in collaberation. I thought it worth sharing here.

Factors To Employ A Cleaning Service

They could eliminate your worries - Certainly, it?s very essential to maintain a good and clean working place but of course, it?s impossible to do that if you do the witty task alone or even with the help of your employees. You may probably maintain a clean office space or house on a regular basis, but if you're too busy to undertake mundane tasks, then you?ll know why you are better off hiring a professional.



Certainly, it?s very crucial to maintain a good and clean working place but… Continue
