Tagged on Wednesday bought fellow online community hi5 in a move aimed at creating a Facebook rival. The two San Francisco-based startups will continue to operate as independent brands but Tagged plans to build bridges between its more that 100 million users and the 230 million people signed up at hi5. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

This helps citizens develop greater confidence in and adherence to multi-modal transport services. These applications adapt to the needs of the user during their journey through the data, statistics and trends extracted from their previous uses of the application. The My-Trac application is dedicated to the research and development of these user-centered services to improve the multi-modal experience using various techniques. Among these techniques are preference extraction systems, which extract user information from social networks, such as Twitter. In this article, we present a system that allows to develop a profile of the preferences of each user, on the basis of the tweets published on their Twitter account. The Citation: Rivas, A.; González-Briones, system extracts the tweets from the profile and analyzes them using the proposed algorithms and A.; Cea-Morán, J.J.; Prat-Pérez, A.; returns the result in a document containing the categories and the degree of affinity that the user has Corchado, J.M.

Building a Personal Political Brand Using Facebook and Instagram Advertising
BUILDING A PERSONAL POLITICAL BRAND USING FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM ADVERTISING Jyväskylä University School of Business and Economics Master’s Thesis 2020 Author: Tommi Puomisto Subject: Digital Marketing and Corporate Communication Supervisor: Heikki Karjaluoto ABSTRACT Author Tommi Puomisto Title Building a personal political brand using Facebook and Instagram advertising Subject Type of work Digital Marketing and Corporate Master’s thesis Communication Date Number of pages 16.6.2020 86 The how and where of political marketing and branding has changed significantly in the past decade. Social networking sites are increasingly used by actors like political parties to brand themselves and interact digitally with voters in real-time. While political branding has been researched extensively from the external perspective of the audience, the internal perspective, “brand identity”, and especially that of individual politicians has remained under-researched, thus presenting a potential research gap. The goal of this thesis is to increase the understanding of the role of Facebook and Instagram advertising in building a personal political brand from the internal perspective of the brand owner and internal stakeholders, therefore addressing the call for further research on the internal perspective of branding. This study is a mixed methods research and was carried out as a single case study. The case was an election campaign of a single political candidate in the Finnish parliamentary elections of 2019. Qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews, which were processed through the thematic analysis approach. Quantitative secondary performance data of the campaign’s social media advertising was then analyzed and compared with the findings of the qualitative thematic analysis.

We Have to Acknowledge That Consumers Are Controlling The
© Hugh MacLeod. www.gapingvoid.com We have to acknowledge that consumers are controlling the conversation about brands more than ever and they are doing it in real time, online, way faster than you can churn out an ad or distribute a news release. While social media is not the absolute answer to all marketing issues, I think it deﬁnitely provides insight into customer behaviors and allows clients to participate in conversations about their brand/ product/service on a more proactive and intimate level. We!ve designated a team of specialists that are immersed in all levels of social media. They spend time scouring the Web, read books and blogs, attend training, workshops and seminars, and actively participate to understand social media inside and out. - Nicole Torstenson, Sr. Marketing Strategist, Innova Ideas & Services © Hugh MacLeod. www.gapingvoid.com Let’s focus on: Nevermind. dominant ual ling ultil h/m l is rta an MR or spa p p p h h o o t t o social networks o social networks + s o o crowd s crowd s c ii p p a ll a n a e content n tt source n source w i i o s s rr k h i h i n based g / / location m u sh llt ngllii d iillii e o ng nt m u miinan in all do a n s t ms space usic mobile communities mu sociiall n e t d w at video ing o Es tu grito r k s portal t n a iin m o d s ks e rk ng o lis w h tw e t n iinterest Innova Ideas & Services | www.innovaideasandservices.com Nannette Rodríguez | Director of Hispanic Marketing, Business Development | 515.697.7200 | [email protected] @rodriguez24 (Twitter) | Nannette Rodriguez+Des Moines (Facebook, Linked In, MySpace) Web Progression Web 1.0 Web 2.0 Web 3.0 Web 3.5 In the beginning, Then it progressed Commerce then A subset of social the Web served into a place for ushered an era of networks and as an info transactions.

A Survey of Current Social Network and Online Communication Provision Policies for Offender Identification
A survey of current social network and online communication provision policies for offender identification Graeme Horsman Department of Computing, Engineering and Technology Faculty of Computer Science The David Goldman Informatics Centre St Peter's Way Sunderland SR6 0DD Email: [email protected] Phone: 0191 515 2381 Abstract Online forms of harassment, stalking and bullying on social network and communication platforms are now arguably wide-spread and subject to regular media coverage. As these provision continue to attract millions of users, generating significant volumes of traffic, regulating abuse and effectively reprimanding those who are involved in it, is a difficult and sometimes impossible task. This article collates information acquired from 22 popular social network and communication platforms in order to identify current regulatory gaps. Terms of service and privacy policies are reviewed to assess existing practices of data retention to evaluate the feasibility of law enforcement officials tracking those whose actions breach the law. For each provision, account sign-up processes are evaluated and policies for retaining Internet Protocol logs and user account information are assessed along with the availability of account preservation orders. Finally, recommendations are offered for improving current approaches to regulating social network crime and online offender tracking. Keywords: Social Media Networks; Crime; Regulation; Internet; Cyber Crime; Harassment 1 Introduction Online platforms have now revolutionised modern day communication. However, in light of recent global events, social media has now become a platform for those to voice both positive and negative sentiment, requiring greater regulation by both the social networking sites themselves and the police (Awan, 2016).

Social Network Site Privacy | a Comparative Analysis of Six Sites
SOCIAL NETWORK SITE PRIVACY | A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SIX SITES This report was prepared for the Office of the Privacy Commissioner by Jennifer Barrigar, a consultant and researcher with experience in both privacy law and developments in internet technology. It was originally commissioned in late 2008, and a final report was delivered to the Office in February 2009. Social networks frequently make amendments or additions to their privacy policies and protections. As a result, some of the observations made in this report may appear outdated or even incorrect. This is certainly the case with Facebook, one social network that has undertaken successive rounds of privacy amendments in 2009. This is not the case with many of the other social networking sites identified by Ms. Barrigar. They are among the most popular sites with Canadians, but are largely developed and headquartered outside Canada. As a result, they offer significantly different levels of privacy protection for their users. This report identifies areas where these sites need to improve their policies and take steps to effectively protect the personal information of their users.
