Urban Social Media Demographics: An Exploration of Twitter Use in Major American Cities
研究了美国城市推特用户中地点、种族/民族和性别的交叉影响，通过分析推文时间间隔，探讨了传统边缘群体（如年轻黑人男性）如何利用推特进行动员沟通和获取资源。
This article explores intersections between place, race/ethnicity, and gender amongst American Twitter users and makes an argument that studying the intensity of tweets provides insights into how and why particular groups tweet. Given recent events in American political life such as the shooting in Ferguson, Missouri and the reactions by young, urban African Americans on Twitter, understanding the role of race, place, gender, and age is important. We observed the time between tweets of urban American Twitter users and explored whether the medium may be providing traditionally marginalized groups, such as young Black men, with potential avenues for mobilizing communication and access to resources.
