My paper on the uses of interactive features on Swedish newspaper web sites has been published online at Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies. This was the first paper I wrote as part of my PhD work, and so it is especially satisfying to see it published. Otherwise, I’m gearing up for a spring semester full of travel, research, teaching and music. Here’s what I know so far:

• I’ll be presenting my ongoing work with Hallvard Moe on Twitter use during Scandinavian elections at the NETworked 2012 conference later in january, at the 9th Scandinavian Workshop on E-government (SWEG 2012) in february and at the ICA-sponsored CMN2012: Communicating in a World of Norms conference in march.
• I’ve been invited to hold two seminars the Department of Informatics and at qumu, both at Umeå University and both at the end of february
• In april, I’ll be going to Oslo to present part of my dissertation work at the 2012 International Symposium on Media Innovations.
