Just a quick update: I am now set up in my office at the University of Calgary in Alberta. I’ve come here on a Fulbright Canada Fellowship, and one of my goals is to study Canadian alternative social media. On this first full day of basic research, I’m already seeing a great deal of activity, particularly in terms of Indigenous social networking.

In the coming weeks, I intend to add more examples to the SMAP archive, as well as look for opportunities to learn from the activists and coders who are developing ASM in Canada.
