Using the example of the short message service Twitter, the article de­scribes not only how everyday individual observations can be recorded on social media, but also the changes to which the availability of socially relevant information is subject, if society has only selective access to it and modes of access are being transformed generally: digital data requires for its generation, storage and analysis - especially that of large amounts of data - the technical system of the computer, which selects data according to particular observational interests and allows it to appear in a new context.
