Roychowdhury, Chair Elementary actions online establish an individual's existence on the web and her/his orientation toward different issues. In this sense, actions truly define a user in spaces like online forums and communities and the aggregate of elementary actions shape the atmosphere of these online spaces. This observation, coupled with the unprecedented scale and detail of data on user actions on the web, com- pels us to utilize them in understanding collective human behavior. Despite large investments by industry to capture this data and the expanding body of research on big data in academia, gaining insight into collective user behavior online has been elusive. If one is indeed able to overcome the considerable computational challenges posed by both the scale and the inevitable noisiness of the associated data sets, one could provide new automated frameworks to extract insights into evolving behavior at different scales, and to form an altogether different perspec- tive of aggregated elementary user actions.

    The Application of Social Networks to the Marketing of Industrial Products ________________________ A Master’s Thesis Presented to School of Information Design Technology State University of New York Institute of Technology Utica, New York _____________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Science Degree ________________________ by Roger Perlstein December 2010 Roger C. Perlstein 2010 SUNYIT DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY Approved and recommended for acceptance as a thesis in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Information Design and Technology _____________________________________ DATE ____________________________________________________ Stephen Schneider Thesis Advisor ____________________________________________________ Russell Kahn ____________________________________________________ Kathryn Stam ii Abstract Social networking changes the way people share ideas and communicate. Advantages in portability, reach, and access contribute to acceptance of social networks and the likelihood that they will continue to grow. While these systems were initially used by individuals, they were not as widely employed by businesses. Some firms however are leveraging these tools and integrating social networking into their marketing. Where social networks are used by businesses, they are primarily focused on consumer goods, home and family, electronics and entertainment. Business-to-business applications are not as widely used and some question whether such tools offer significant benefits in such settings. This thesis studies social network marketing for a vehicle lift manufacturer. It addresses viability, strategy and practices for a vehicle maintenance equipment manufacturer. It analyzes data collected from other similar companies to identify best practices for the use of such tools and details the current state of the industry for this market. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE LIST OF TABLES s, , vi LIST OF FIGURES vi Chapter 1.

Social media uses web-based technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogues. Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, which allows the creation and exchange of user-generated content."[1] Businesses also refer to social media as consumer-generated media (CGM). Social media utilization is believed to be a driving force in defining the current time period as the Attention Age. A common thread running through all definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value. Distinction from industrial media People gain information, education, news, etc., by electronic media and print media. Social media are distinct from industrial or traditional media, such as newspapers, television, and film. They are relatively inexpensive and accessible to enable anyone (even private individuals) to publish or access information, compared to industrial media, which generally require significant resources to publish information.

  • Social Media Time Management Strategies for Tackling Information Overload Getting Organized
    Social Media Time Management Strategies for Tackling Information Overload Getting Organized Information overload is real, but it’s something that’s in your control. Managing your time in social media is first and foremost about deciding where to spend your time and why, and that requires a little bit of organization to start with. What Are You In This For? If your goal is to be engaged in social media for pleasure or just for personal connections, your approach is rather simple. You’ll choose the tools and sites where you find folks with common interests, and you’ll tuck the time in out- side your other responsibilities. But if you’re in this for business, at least in part, you’re going to need to think through some clearer goals than that Here are five sets of questions to ask yourself: 1) Realistically, how many hours do I have to spend in social media each day? Do I have resources/people other than me? What can I expect of them? (Note: if you’re serious about doing social, you need to find an hour a day to start with, at least.) 2) Which 2 or 3 tools and social networks make sense based on my listening efforts? What is my goal for participa- tion on those sites? What is the culture of those communities and how will my participation line up with that? 3) Have we evaluated our current online and offline communication efforts to determine what’s working and what we might supplement or replace with social media? Am I going to need to add this on to my existing responsibilities in order to prove its value before making trade-offs? 4) Has our leadership bought into this idea already, or am I establishing a presence so I can build a stronger case? Is time I spend on social media going to be viewed as an investment or a time sink? How do I make the case for the former? 5) What does success look like? How about failure? How can I measure both, even simplistically? (Hint: Objectives you can’t measure against are going to be really hard to celebrate or adjust, since you won’t know how you did either way).
