Facilitating a Scientific Approach to the Datafication of Society on Twitter, or: How to Catch a Tweeting Bird

  • In times of increasing societal significance of public discourse on social media, ques­tions surrounding the possibilities of access to the data generated are becoming ever more pressing. 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.
