Abstract

This poster reports data from a pilot study of the communication practices in the #hpv stream on Twitter. The pilot study found that, unlike other studies conducted on Twitter streams, the #hpv stream broadcasts information as opposed to interacting and conversing. The researcher plans to build upon this study by expanding the pilot dataset as a means to explore if preliminary findings in the initial study stand. The goal is to create a set of communication practices that happen within this ontology so that the space can be defined accordingly and compared with other streams of information on Twitter.
