Information science is the study of the relationships between people, places and technology.
Our interdisciplinary approach—drawing on social science, computer science and the humanities—prepares students for a future characterized by new ways of working, communicating and creating.

I don't think folks here necessarily WANT a "new Twitter," but that Bluesky has the potential to recapture some of what people liked. theconversation.com/bluesky-isnt...

Bluesky isn’t the ‘new Twitter,’ but its resemblance to the old one is drawing millions of new users
Bluesky, the microblogging alternative to X, is having a moment. A social media researcher explains why people are flocking to it – and why it isn’t likely to recapture the early days of Twitter.
