Proposal #2 is done done done!!!!
Finally!
After so much research, and trying to find the right philosopher to tie into my theoretical framework. I think I found a good one though, focusing on just a few of Foucault's theories on 'discourse' and 'power/knowledge'. Hopefully it will be good and form the basis for my actual paper.

Foucault
Still reading more and more about Foucault, specifically now where he has been used within new media literature. At first I had wanted to look at 3 elements of his work
1. The concept of discourse
2. Power/Knowledge
3. The question of the 'subject'
Foucault has seem to have written on every topic in the book! There is so much information and different ways of analyzing things that Foucault seems to have touched on, it is hard to narrow it down to a few specific themes. The more I read however, the more I think I will just stick with the 2 first themes (discourse and power/knowledge) in order to offer a more detailed and concise account of how Foucault's work fits into my analysis of Twitter.

Foucault
After having read so much about different theories and ideas, I think I have found the appropriate 'philosophy' or approach to my paper.
I have looked at cases of representation and power of privilege. I have looked at ideas of orientalism and 'the other', particularly with how they are representing another culture/people. In the end, I have stopped at looking at the concept of discourse, especially with how it is used to represent objects or subjects. For this, i have found the work of Michel Foucault to be most appropriate. He moves away from the concept of language (my original focus through Stuart Hall) and towards one about discourse and power/knowledge.
I have written out pages of notes on Foucault and competing theorist and am still sorting through it all to make sense of it, but I am going to drive my theoretical framework within Foucault's work.

The Tally
Okay, so I have finally reached the beginning of the end of my research segment, which is great. I tend to research excessively at the start of a research assignment and take notes as I go. I then colour code and divide all of the information into sections, which then creates the basis for my paper's paragraphs/sub-topics.
I've spent everyday at the library for the past 3 weeks, reading a lot and making lots of notes. So far I have read 115 sources (articles, books, documentaries, etc.) and have summarized them into 62 pages of single spaced notes. Today I finished colour coding and segmenting these notes into a more concise and relevant 31 pages of notes. From here, I will again re-sort my notes within each category and hopefully start writing. I will take the weekend to think about it all and come back fresh Monday morning to sort out the theory segment of the paper which will hopefully help me sort out how I will outline my assignment and content. Once I have this finalized, I can finally submit a new outline for what I intend to do, and hopefully write the bulk of it within the next few weeks thereafter.
Thanks!

Cool search tool for Tweets
I have come across something called the Web Ecology Project while reading an article and decided to check it out. Turns out, it's a project involving the creation of '140kit', a research tool for Twitter posts. I had read that Google was looking into developing something like this (the ability to search all past and present Twitter posts) but this seems to have done it before them, allowing users to search any term, then retrieve raw data sets which can then be graphed and analyzed. This will be of great use for finding information about my particular case studies.
In essence, 140kit allows you to: (taken from the www.140kit.com website):
Research
140kit is more than your personal stash of Tweets; when you signup, you have access to two powerful default scrape types: You can either search terms (with/without our similar term branching algorithm enabled) from this moment using the powerful Streaming API or soon access one of our Whitelisted machines for REST access to collect as many tweets as possible from any number of accounts.
Explore
Once your data collection is complete, you have access to an expanding list of analytical offerings to measure your data sets rapidly and in new ways. From there, you can quickly export data, view general charts, and soon have access to an experimental re-tweet network graph visualization. Use this data for academic research, one-off fact-checking blog posts, or anything else you can think of, really.
Collaborate
What if you wanted to combine multiple data sets and look at their sum value? Doing that is simple with a "Curation" scrape, where you pick and choose existing data sets in the system, and mash them together for epic win. Don't see an analytical job you need? Develop it and throw it at our Git Account, and, pending approval, it'll just be added in, with the proper attributions to your hard work.

Articles
I've been reading a lot about activism, politics, and image and representation all within the context of 'cyberspace'. Today however I began to look into Neda, the case of the Iranian woman whos death was caught on film and distributed widely around the world. Googling her name came up with a bunch of interesting articles about Neda's death and the role the media played in that. I have yet to read them, but have saved multiple articles around this theme and intend to read them in the following days. This may provide me with a good solid base as to how I want to organize my case study sections in my paper.

Toronto Star
This article came up on the Toronto Star over the weekend and it is very interesting that it coincides very much with what I am interested with for my report. Although it does not provide any very relevant or insightful information, the fact that this story was published in a widely distributed mainstream newspaper showcases the importance of Twitter and particularly it's role during the G20.

TWITTER TO COUNTER MIS-REPRESENTATION
Some thoughts and questions leading my new direction...
-how groups have been often misrepresented in the past
-who has the right to represent or report on an event/person/situation?
-what are the power politics at play and responsibilities of those for representing others?
-how people are taking representation back into their own hands, dictating their side of the story and not letting someone else speak for them, or depict merely a biased side
-the need to understand power in a broader cultural or symbolic term (ie. the power to represent someone or something in a certain way, within a certain ‘regime of representation’)
Some authors:
- Hall’s argument is that 'representation is the way in which meaning is given to things depicted'. how then can twitter be used to provide people with a way to represent themselves? as an alternative to the media's (mis)representation of event during the g20? or the media underrepresentation/complete lack of representation in Iran?
-Coleman looks at representation mostly through politics, however offers a lot of interesting notions on photographic representation and blogging
-Iran – govt was the only actor who was ‘allowed’ to depict (or completely neglect the depiction of) the post-election protests since the media was banned. How did protesters take it into their own hands to get word out to the world on what was going on?
-Neda
-G20 – how was the media representing the protests? How does this differ from what protesters felt or dealt with? How did people use Twitter to spread the word on what was really going on?
-focus on specific case - TBD
-make the case for why these cases are used,
-look at the context, then justify the particular case, explain the case, compare both cases (Iran and G20) – what do the similarities and differences tell us about things

What I've read so far
Back at the library today, getting some more books as my direction seems to keep changing, so I want to stay on top of the new aspects of this research. Today, I've gotten a lot of books focusing on Cyberspace and how it may be used for political motivations, so hopefully this will give me some good theoretical information for which to ground my research in.
So far, I have read and taken notes on the following list of articles, books, newspaper articles, online videos, etc...

It's started
I have been really touched (and frustrated) by the weekend's events, which has coincidentally motivated me to include the G20 in Toronto and the use of Twitter in my report. Perhaps this will provide me the inspiration I need to start the writing process. Yesterday I wrote out an introduction. I have decided to use my experience in the G20 as a good starting point and introduction of my own use and experience with Twitter, then go into 3 case studies. One in a developed country (Canada), an industrializing country (Iran) and a developing country (TBD). All of which will focus on the use of Twitter during political events, whether it was for political mobilization, or the spreading of knowledge. Perhaps I will find that in each country case, the tool is used for a different outcome, so it would be interesting to look at the barriers and advances which allow for that level of use, and why it is used for one particular purpose over another.
