New episode of CCS pod online!

How powerful are platforms?

In the latest episode of the CCS Pod, Emese Domahidi (Professor at TU Ilmenau) and Mario Haim (Professor at LMU Munich) talk to Subhayan Mukerjee (Assistant Professor at the National U of Singapore) about platforms and their power. This includes the relevance of social media metrics for users, the gatekeeping function of platforms and fragmentation trends. Subhayan Mukerjee is a computer scientist, mathematician and (computer) communication scientist. He also brings a global perspective on the use of news and the power of platforms, as well as on the need for an adequate methodology and - perhaps more importantly - an adequate theory.

The new episode of the CCS Pod is online and as always, it's well worth a listen.
