I recently learned that German company Telefunken arguably invented the computer mouse. They offered a “Rollkugelsteuerung” (“rolling ball control”) for one of their mainframes in 1968, months before Douglas Engelbart’s “mother of all demos”. Telefunken’s mouse was also more advanced than Engelbart’s mouse as it used a ball instead of two wheels. (Photo credit:

Here is an interesting take on why the current situation with the bird site may, actually, be an opportunity for academia to reclaim ownership of its social media presence: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2022/11/19/requiem-for-a-tweet-is-there-a-future-for-the-academic-social-capital-held-on-the-platform/
Universities, scientific societies, labs, etc., can (should?) use Mastodon's distributed architecture (or similar) to set up social networks that are not controlled by a single privately-owned company. This would somehow preserve our social capital against the market's mood swings.
No #mastodon instance for United Nations agencies and staff members? Maybe the good time to embrace the #fediverse ?
EU apparently has already its own instance: https://social.network.europa.eu/about #un

Twitter might be going down. @beatty is trying to preserve the Science Twitter Graph.
Go to https://opencheck.is/scitwitter, provide your Twitter handle and your @ORCID_Org ID - that's it!
Just for fun, I visualized the network: http://leonlotter.de/twittergraph/graph.html
When I ran the code a few minutes ago, we had already around 600 nodes and 5000 edges in the network!
