The DiGRA 2009 conference, as seen through Twitter

Just back from the 2009 DiGRA video game conference at Brunel University (outside London).

I will write some detailed observations later, but for now let me just do what I did at GDC: post some Wordle maps that I made from the #digra09 Twitter feed.

If we for a moment trust this way of analyzing a conference, I think we can see that video game studies are diverging quite a bit: no single focus, but a number of ongoing and continually morphing smaller discussions.

  1. I see my name looms large in the September 4 tweets. Looking at the rest of the words shown, I guess I should surmise that you ran it all through a profanity filter?
