For your reading pleasure:

The Toronto Star ran a nice story today on Twitter’s 6th birthday featuring commentaries from Dr. Anatoliy Gruzd, Director of the Social Media Lab at SIM.

And yesterday, Global News ran a story “Visualizing the split on Toronto City Council” about a longitudinal study using social network analysis (SNA) to track changing voting blocks and shifts in the voting patterns of Toronto City Council members since the election of Mayor Rob Ford. Global News relied on  Dr. Gruzd’s expertise in SNA to verify their study’s methodology and confirm their analysis.
