I've been deadlocked and found your blog through an extensive search. Your recent post on the role of energy on collective action was enlightning. <br><br>I'd love to chat regarding how I might set up a model to measure aggregate action, particularly why some news is propagated while other news fades. I'd like to set up something --more qualitative-- that makes sense of "why" users propagate certain content?<br><br>There is now recent quantitative research involving the temporal distribution of news on the internet, as well as the role of novelty on collective attention, but none related to the discreet action of forwarding/re-tweeting/recommending news content. It either gets forwarded or it doesn't, and my research involves identifying the threshold and its components.
