Hi I missed the session Agnes and would love to hear a summary of how it went. I think software like this has alot of potential. I am particulalry interested in how we might use tools like this to capture emergent and changing practices with technologies.

Our four volunteers were 'captured' on DVD but I have not yet seen the results.

Only three of them - two novice Twitter users and one experienced. I escaped ;) (actually, wasn't really enough time)

We had a hypothesis that Twitter users might pay a lot of attention to messages with embedded links. This might be interesting if we see Twitter as a tool to draw attention to what you are doing, including your work as a researcher. Who is reading your messages and how are they reading them? What do they notice? What makes them go off in another direction, following someone else instead of you?
The eye tracker is one way to explore the above questions, perhaps. It could complement other methods, in a multi-method approach within a Researcher 2.0 perspective.
