THEME: Things that didn't work out in social media research - and what 
we can learn from them
-------------------
Have you ever tried approaches in social media research that did not 
quite work out? Now is the time to share these experiences!
We would like everyone to submit their individual stories of "failed" 
research approaches in the field of studying social media and social 
media users. We are looking for examples from all phases of the research 
process (e.g. data collection, data processing, data analysis, data 
sharing, also including administrative tasks, research ethics and legal 
challenges) that did not work out as expected.
Presented case studies should help other researchers in the field to 
advance research methodology by identifying unsuccessful approaches and 
to inspire discussions on alternative solutions.
