Abstract

This study explores assessing as a social and digital activity in Twitter interactions on remote work. Digital interaction analysis of progressivity and sequentiality is used as a method that is based on online discussion research and applied conversation analysis. In hashtag #etätyö discussion participants are showing appreciation for the opportunity to work remotely, evaluating features of remote work, and advising remote workers through assessing forms and actions. Simultaneously, they progressively carry on and orient to the specific ‘hashtagged’ lines of discussion. In specific thread discussion participants organize assessing activity through positive and complementary, and occasionally negative, responses that are reciprocally and sequentially produced in line with the thread’s first tweet doing positive assessment. In conclusion, societally important issues should be assessed using jointly social and digital affordances available in the platform contexts. Furthermore, the study contributes to the discussion in digital humanities and social sciences on the importance of social interaction perspective.
