I’ve been collecting the tweets for #protestbaku but things haven’t been interesting in awhile. But let’s look at this analysis from March 8 at 5am. full report I don’t really get these clusters. Groups 1 and 2 tweet in Azerbaijani mostly. And somehow I am in group 2. I am not sure what the differences…
In honor (?) of March 8, a blog post on gender… Last year I did quite a bit of work on gender and Internet in Azerbaijan. Here are two blog posts [1] [2]. Like in 2011, in 2012, there are almost no gender differences in Armenia or Georgia, so there is no need to write…
Attitudes toward protest is one of my favorite Caucasus Barometer questions. (Sarah Kendzior and I wrote a piece centered around this measure in 2012). It is an interesting way to ask a question in a vignette format. People are asked which statement they agree with and degree. * Very much agree: People should participate in…
This demonstrates the percent of Internet users and percent from the total adult population that are engaging in particular online activities. To see more on general Internet, check this out.

Hoorah! It is finally time to release the new Caucasus Internet statistics from the Caucasus Barometer. The data is publicly released on March 1. I have a TON of posts ready to share. I’ll cover activities, regions, gender, means of access, but let’s start with the basics… As always, I welcome comments and questions. As…
There is currently a campaign “Justice for Khojaly.” I wish that I could link to wikipedia or some other source with confidence, but this issue is so fraught with tension, it is very difficult to find a neutral source. With that being said, here’s the wikipedia. So lots of Azerbaijanis have been tweeting about this….
Dear Raffi. Congratulations! You’re really doing it! The crowds are growing. First, I’m sorry that I was so skeptical. I was skeptical back when you were hunger striking. I didn’t really get what you were striking about. And I did giggle at the image of you with that blanket. And my basic attitude toward this…
