  6. Ah yes, the timeless masterpiece of "Flickr nostalgia"—because who doesn't love reminiscing about the MySpace of photography platforms? 📸🤦‍♂️ It's as if Instagram, Google Photos, and every other modern platform don't exist, but sure, let's continue pretending it's '06. 🙃

  7. In case I travel to the USA and U.S. Customs and Border Protection wants to check my social media posts, I now make this declaration:
    We paean the USA.
    We paean their great leader Donald Trump.

  8. Hi5 was an early social platform, launched in 2003. Mostly forgotten in the U.S., but big in Latin America & Southeast Asia with tens of millions of users around 2007–2008. Today it’s mostly social games & dating.

    The #WaybackMachine preserves the early web, from the famous to the forgotten. Use it to find your forgotten corners of the internet. ⤵️

  9. "#TikTok – Memefication und Performance" im ersten deutschsprachigen Band zu TikTok aus kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive gibt es einen Beitrag von @mberg und @frau_lorenz zu #Historytok - entstanden aus unserem Projekt #SocialMediaHistory 👉
    link.springer.com/book/10.1007

  10. Das haben @mberg @frau_lorenz & ich im Rahmen von #SocialMediaHistory auch festgestellt. Vermittlungscontent von #Museen und Forschenden ist eher die Ausnahme.

  11. Kommenden Montag darf ich beim Seminar "Geschichte – Popkultur – #PublicHistory" von @LHaasis über #SocialMediaHistory berichten & gemeinsam mit Ato Schweizer vom @LMWStuttgart über Geschichte in sozialen Medien diskutieren. Ab 20 Uhr, natürlich online! hsozkult.de/event/id/event-151

  12. Take a trip with me back to social media in 2010, when the likes of Facebook, Twitter, Digg and StumbleUpon were SENDING TRAFFIC to websites (I know, hard to believe, right? People actually used to click on links!) Friends, it was a halcyon time for tech blogs and other indie publications. cybercultural.com/p/054-social #InternetHistory #SocialMediaHistory

  13. Wolfram Dornik vom Stadtarchiv Graz erklärt, wie schwierig es für städtische Archive ist, born digital Quellen zur Zeitgeschichte zu archivieren und zugänglich zu machen. Alternative der Zeitgeschichte ist "freies Aufsammeln" - haben wir bei #SocialMediaHistory gemacht, ist unbefriedigend. #digigw24

  14. Stumbled across my avatar pic for Identi.ca - Looks like I was on there in 2009 based on time stamp.

    Vaguely recall a nice person I enjoyed interacting with, but further connections didn't really take, in spite of a bit of effort.

    I would have already been on the birdsite for a year or two by then.

    Discovered Mastodon in 2019 and connections built nicely here. Glad I jumped in before the bird died. Mastodon stands nicely on the shoulders of what came before.

  15. For those who remember MySpace, a dude made a full clone of it that WORKS and looks the same (and is pretty epic) over at spacehey.com. Check out some of those profiles! Wild. 🤣

    (UPDATE: if you make an account and wanna add me, I'm spacehey.com/jake4480)

  16. Der Thread basiert auf unserem Artikel zum Projekt #SocialMediaHistory, bei dem Forschende untersuchen, wie Geschichte auf Instagram und TikTok dargestellt, wahrgenommen oder verfälscht wird.

  17. If anyone is interested in some corpus linguistic work on the #SocialMediaHistory project ichbinsophiescholl on Instagram, which was highly debated last year, check out my paper (in German, preprint) edarxiv.org/ve3zr/

  18. Wie wird #Geschichte in den sozialen Medien erzählt? Darum geht es im Projekt #SocialMediaHistory der Ruhr-Universität Bochum und der Universität Hamburg. Wir haben im #Forschungsquartett mit Christian Bunnenberg über das Projekt gesprochen: detektor.fm/wissen/forschungsq
