Abstract

This paper shows a work-in-progress of a recently started project, which aims to understand how people interact with each other on Twitter during academic conferences, with emphasis on different user groups. As a first step in that direction, we manually classified the users of four conferences into five user groups and investigated with which other groups they communicate, how much they contribute to the Twitter stream and how much attention they receive from their peers.
