What would Wittgenstein say about social media?
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
The paper argues that mainstream social media analytics research often misinterprets social media data by applying pre-existing sociological theories rather than focusing on the everyday language practices of users. It suggests a Wittgensteinian approach focused on describing language-in-use as a more appropriate method for understanding social media interactions.

Scientists found that to understand how people talk on social media, it's like listening to kids talk on the playground instead of just guessing what they're saying based on old stories. You just watch and see.

Explicación de la calificación
This paper provides a thought-provoking critique of existing social media analytics research through the lens of Wittgenstein's philosophy. While it highlights important ontological and epistemological issues, its heavy reliance on philosophical jargon and lack of concrete alternative methodologies limit its broader impact and practical applicability. It's an interesting read for those familiar with Wittgenstein but may not resonate as strongly with a wider audience.
