<nettime-ann> billions: new email list on the impact of social media and

Join billions by sending a blank email to billions-subscribe@listcultures.org

Billions is a new old-fashioned email list for sharing information related to the impacts of social media and big digital networks on our lives and our communities. It’s a way for us to critically contribute to and keep track of the unfolding stories of social media and big digital across our planet, and to connect us with like-minded others.

Researchers, activists, artists, ai/crypto/engineers, and curious others are all welcome to join. Please share news items, academic research and other posts that may be relevant to the topic.

This list may evolve over time and become more defined, but for now we welcome you to join and share news, events and other information related to social media and big digital networks.

You can join the billions email list by sending a blank email to billions-subscribe@listcultures.org - or reply to this message indicating your interest to join, and I can add you directly to the list.

Please note that your spam filter may identify emails from the list as junk/spam - so please check your appropriate folders or whitelist the address.

Please do share this invitation with others who may be interested.

Thanks to the Institute of Network Cultures for facilitating the hosting of billions.

Best, Sam
