TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide examples of blogs and microblogs as tools for scientific communication for different stakeholders, as well as discuss their implications for digital scholarship, and discuss their potential applications in the future.
Abstract: Academic publishing, as a practice and as a business, is undergoing the most significant changes in its 350-year history. Electronic journals and books, both Open Access and behind digital pay walls, are increasingly replacing printed publications. In addition to formal channels of scholarly communication, a wide array of semi-formal and informal channels such as email, mailing lists, blogs, microblogs, and social networking sites (SNS) are widely used by scientists to discuss their research (Borgman 2007, p. 47; Nentwich and Konig 2012, p. 50). Scholarly blogs and services such as Twitter and Facebook are increasingly attracting attention as new channels of science communication (see Bonetta 2007; Kjellberg 2010; Herwig et al. 2009). Radically different conceptualizations of scholarly (micro)blogging exist, with some users regarding them as a forum to educate the public, while others see them as a possible replacement for traditional publishing. This chapter will provide examples of blogs and microblogs as tools for scientific communication for different stakeholders, as well as discuss their implications for digital scholarship.

Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this study is to investigate airline users' microblog postings pertaining to their travel‐related information exchange so as to assess their wants, preferences and feedback about airline products and services. Examining such real‐time information exchange is important as users rely on this for various purposes such as seeking help and evaluating the airline services before purchasing.Design/methodology/approach – This study uses Twitter, a popular microblog service. An analysis of 8,978 postings that mention three specific airlines – i.e. Malaysia Airlines, Jet Blue and Southwest – as well as 260 airline postings on their official Twitter accounts is undertaken. The types of postings were ascertained via content analysis. Additionally, the postings were also analyzed to uncover types of communication exchanges between airlines and their users.Findings – The findings suggest that microblogs were primarily used to share compliments, while airlines used microblogs mainly for marketin...

TL;DR: The spatial expression and potential value of micro‐blogging and Twitter as a social networking tool is explored and the value of “cartoblography”– a framework for mapping the spatial context of micro-blogging is demonstrated.
Abstract: Blogs, micro-blogs and online forums underpin a more interconnected world People communicate ever more and are increasingly keen to explain and illustrate their lives; showing where they are and what they are doing Desktop, online and mobile mapping landscapes have never been as rich or diverse yet this challenges cartography to adapt and remain relevant in the modern mapping world We explore the spatial expression and potential value of micro-blogging and Twitter as a social networking tool Examples of “twitter maps” are reviewed that leverage the Twitter API and online map services to locate some component of the “tweet” Scope, function and design are illustrated through development of two proof-of-concept map mashups that support collaborative real-time mapping and the organisation and display of information for mass user events Through the experiments in using and organising data in this way we demonstrate the value of “cartoblography”– a framework for mapping the spatial context of micro-blogging
