  • Video Streaming Best Practices for Pr
    VIDEO STREAMING BEST PRACTICES FOR PR Meerkat and Periscope Meerkat and Periscope are experiencing exponential growth. Since their launch in March, the two apps have seen more than 1.5 million live streams. In addition, video consumption is generally on the rise. Cisco predicts that video will account for 80 per cent of all Internet traffic in 2019, up from 64 per cent in 2014. People want to share their worlds. More importantly, they want to be invited into yours. General Electric (GE), pictured below, is taking its audience on an entirely new, experiential journey with Periscope. Meerkat and Periscope have put the spotlight on streaming video and video podcasts. Are they the latest shiny tools of the Internet or something more? We say more. With live streaming, you can engage your audience directly, in real time; boost existing PR content initiatives; and grow awareness and audience engagement. All types of brands are taking advantage of the medium, from musicians to chefs and from real estate professionals to business consultants. The only question left is how to get started with the new tools. Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. The world is your oyster. Live streaming allows for PR aims like growing awareness and engagement as well as thought leadership. In the campaign pictured to the right, Nestle worked with influencers to “drum” up interest in its ice cream. The results speak for themselves. Nestle’s Drumstick Periscope Channel generated more than 5,000 views and more than 50,000 hearts in roughly 12 hours. Influencers (Nestle worked with four.) generated 1,500 views and more than 64,000 hearts.

  • Effects and Opportunities of Native Code Extensions For
    Effects and Opportunities of Native Code Extensions for Computationally Demanding Web Applications DISSERTATION zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Dr. Phil. im Fach Bibliotheks- und Informationswissenschaft eingereicht an der Philosophischen Fakultät I Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin von Dipl. Inform. Dennis Jarosch Präsident der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin: Prof. Dr. Jan-Hendrik Olbertz Dekan der Philosophischen Fakultät I: Prof. Michael Seadle, Ph.D. Gutachter: 1. Prof. Dr. Robert Funk 2. Prof. Michael Seadle, Ph.D. eingereicht am: 28.10.2011 Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 16.12.2011 Abstract The World Wide Web is amidst a transition from interactive websites to web applications. An increasing number of users perform their daily computing tasks entirely within the web browser — turning the Web into an important platform for application development. The Web as a platform, however, lacks the computational performance of native applications. This problem has motivated the inception of Microsoft Xax and Google Native Client (NaCl), two independent projects that fa- cilitate the development of native web applications. Native web applications allow the extension of conventional web applications with compiled native code, while maintaining operating system portability. This dissertation determines the bene- fits and drawbacks of native web applications. It also addresses the question how the performance of JavaScript web applications compares to that of native appli- cations and native web applications. Four application benchmarks are introduced that focus on different performance aspects: number crunching (serial and parallel), 3D graphics performance, and data processing. A performance analysis is under- taken in order to determine and compare the performance characteristics of native C applications, JavaScript web applications, and NaCl native web applications.

The evening television news and the morning newspaper are no longer the definitive source of news. People now have a multitude of channels from which they receive information – a 140-character tweet, a Facebook video, local news blog or live streamed video. Technology has provided an ever- expanding host of venues for sharing information with names like Meerkat, Instagram, Periscope and Snapchat. People can download and digest information anywhere at any time with tablets and smart phones. For a large, diverse City like Port St. Lucie, it can be challenging to communicate to every audience in the particular ways that resonate with each one. However, the City’s communications team enjoys and thrives on these challenges.

  • Mining Social Media for Newsgathering: a Review
    Mining Social Media for Newsgathering: A Review Arkaitz Zubiaga Queen Mary University of London, London, UK [email protected] Abstract Social media is becoming an increasingly important data source for learning about breaking news and for following the latest developments of ongoing news. This is in part possible thanks to the existence of mobile devices, which allows anyone with access to the Internet to post updates from anywhere, leading in turn to a growing presence of citizen journalism. Consequently, social media has be- come a go-to resource for journalists during the process of newsgathering. Use of social media for newsgathering is however challenging, and suitable tools are needed in order to facilitate access to useful information for reporting. In this pa- per, we provide an overview of research in data mining and natural language pro- cessing for mining social media for newsgathering. We discuss five different areas that researchers have worked on to mitigate the challenges inherent to social me- dia newsgathering: news discovery, curation of news, validation and verification of content, newsgathering dashboards, and other tasks. We outline the progress made so far in the field, summarise the current challenges as well as discuss future directions in the use of computational journalism to assist with social media news- gathering. This review is relevant to computer scientists researching news in social media as well as for interdisciplinary researchers interested in the intersection of computer science and journalism. 1 Introduction The popularity of social media platforms has increased exponentially in recent years, arXiv:1804.03540v2 [cs.CL] 11 Sep 2019 gathering millions of updates on a daily basis [1, 2].

  • What's Behind the Sudden Growth of Tiktok? a Powerful Chinese Backer and Celebrity Shout-Outs Are Helping the App Make Strides in the US
    What's Behind the Sudden Growth of TikTok? A powerful Chinese backer and celebrity shout-outs are helping the app make strides in the US ARTICLE DECEMBER 19, 2018 Debra Aho Williamson and Man-Chung Cheung We’ve seen plenty of social apps rise and fall (Vine, Yik Yak, Meerkat, to name a few). But the short-form video app TikTok has a powerful owner and a concept that’s catching on not only with young people, but also older generations in the US. Can it take on Facebook and the other big names of social media? What Is TikTok? TikTok is the international version of Douyin, a popular short-form video app in China. Users can upload short, quirky videos of themselves to the app and share them with followers. ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns both apps, acquired US short-video app Musical.ly in 2017 and merged it with TikTok in August. TikTok has been on a growth tear around the world, but its US performance has been especially notable. TikTok's US monthly active user audience grew by 30 million in the three months since the merger, and downloads were up 25% in the US and 20% worldwide, according to app tracker Apptopia. Tracking by App Annie found that TikTok was the second most- downloaded app in the Apple App Store and Google Play as of What's Behind the Sudden Growth of TikTok?: A powerful Chinese backer and celebrity shout-outs are helping the app 1 make strides in the US ©2020 eMarketer Inc.

O’Haver 2 and Neha Singhal 2 1 Human-Computer Interaction Institute, School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA 2 Department of Human-Centered Computing, School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, IN 46202, USA; [email protected] (A.B.); [email protected] (M.A.O.); [email protected] (N.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (C.F.); [email protected] (F.C.) Received: 26 February 2020; Accepted: 25 March 2020; Published: 27 March 2020 Abstract: With the advent of mobile apps such as Periscope, Facebook Live, and now TikTok, live-streaming video has become a commonplace form of social computing. It has not been clear, however, to what extent the current ubiquity of smartphones is impacting this technology’s acceptance in everyday social situations, and how mobile contexts or affordances will affect and be affected by shifts in social norms and policy debates regarding privacy, surveillance, and intellectual property. This ethnographic-style research provides a snapshot of attitudes about the technology among a sample of US participants in two public contexts, both held outdoors in August 2016: A sports tailgating event and a meeting event. Interviews with n = 20 bystanders revealed that many are not fully aware of when their image or speech is being live-streamed in a casual context, and some want stronger notifications of and ability to consent to such broadcasting. We offer design recommendations to help bridge this socio-technical gap.
