本文试图在一个更长的日记历史框架内对推特进行历史化，以更好地理解推特和更广泛的交流实践和模式。基于对18世纪和19世纪日记的历史文献的回顾，我们创建了一个内容分析编码方案，根据日记中的主题分析随机抽取的公开推特消息样本。调查结果表明，评论和会计风格是推特上最受欢迎的叙事风格。尽管历史日记和推特之间存在重要差异，但这一分析揭示了长期存在的使用时代媒体与他人进行沟通、反思、交流和分享的社会需求。
This paper seeks to historicize Twitter within a longer historical framework of diaries to better understand Twitter and broader communication practices and patterns. Based on a review of historical literature regarding 18th and 19th century diaries, we created a content analysis coding scheme to analyze a random sample of publicly available Twitter messages according to themes in the diaries. Findings suggest commentary and accounting styles are the most popular narrative styles on Twitter. Despite important differences between the historical diaries and Twitter, this analysis reveals long-standing social needs to account, reflect, communicate, and share with others using media of the times.
