He then posted the photo to his Twitter account including the phrase “off to work.” • Since the photo was taken by his smartphone, the image contained metadata reveling the exact geographical location the photo was taken. • So by simply taking and posting a photo, Savage revealed the exact location of his home, the vehicle he drives and the time he leaves for work.

On a sunny Saturday, I spotted a woman in Golden Gate Park taking a photo with a 3G iPhone. Because iPhones embed geodata into photos that users upload to Flickr or Picasa, iPhone shots can be automatically placed on a map. At home I searched the Flickr map, and score—a shot from today. I clicked through to the user’s photostream and determined it was the woman I had seen earlier. After adjusting the settings so that only her shots appeared on the map, I saw a cluster of images in one location.

Processing – To ensure your organization understands what it is hearing. Responding – Both literally and procedurally, to ensure the organization adapts and learns from direct customer feedback. This paper will explore many different aspects of the social media analytics discipline, spanning the evolution of listening techniques, the fundamentals of word taxonomies and sentiment analysis that get discern positive and negative tone, and recommendations on how to handle tweets and any other form of real-time communications. 1 SAS Global Forum 2011 Social Media and Networking REMEMBER MOSIAC?

Trend towards use of mobile devices to access OSNs (Facebook reports 25% of users access OSN via a mobile device every month). Also development of new OSNs—mobile OSNs (mOSNs)—that primarily cater to mobile users. Examples include Brightkite, Foursquare, Gowalla, Loopt, Urbanspoon, Whrrl. Mobile access to Web sites designed specifically for mobile devices and through the development of “apps” that are specific to a site and to a mobile platform. 2 New Privacy Concerns Mobile devices potentially introduce new privacy concerns for mOSNs. These include: • user presence and geographic location • information shared with a mOSN connected to a traditional OSN is also shared with that OSN • unique device identifiers Examine the degree to which leakage of private information is occurring via mOSNs.

  • Towards a Framework for Social Media Applications in Consumer Health
    Towards a Framework for Social Media Applications in Consumer Health Jawad Sajjad Faculty of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies University of Ottawa Umar Ruhi Telfer School of Management University of Ottawa Abstract Social media adoption by people all over the world is increasing dramatically. With this comes a new generation of applications on the Internet that make it easier than ever before for consumers to share and collect information from one another. Based on several studies from IT and research companies, social media adoption among top corporations around the world have continually increased. This can be visibly seen at present due to their active presence on popular social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The healthcare industry however, due to its strict and controlled processes to safeguard the privacy of their patients as well as ensure the stability of their systems have been slow in adopting social media. As such, this presents several opportunities and challenges for the healthcare industry including patients, physicians, healthcare institutions and public health to implement it properly in order to maximize its potential. According to several studies cited in this research paper, the successful implementation of social media technologies can lead to a positive return on investment (ROI) for providers, because effective engagement and communication with consumers not only helps retain existing clients but also attracts potential new ones. For the healthcare industry, this translates to more satisfied patients and the possibility of increased patient revenue. Therefore, the healthcare industry must see the value of this phenomenon and try to harness its capabilities to connect with patients while also addressing security issues by establishing social media policies centered on professional healthcare standards.

Looking for a restaurant nearby? Want to know if your friends are in the neighborhood? Location-based services—applications and websites that Nprovide services or information based on your current location—can put this information and more in the palm of your hand. But while it may be easy to find people or places, finding the privacy protections for all of the sensitive data collected by these location-based services can be far more difficult. Can location-based services protect your privacy? Do they? And what can we do to improve the situation? Location-Based Services: Time for a Privacy Check-In is the third in a series of issue papers by the ACLU of Northern California that discuss new technology trends and their consequences. This paper examines the current state of legal and technical privacy protections for users of location-based services and explores opportunities for consumers, businesses, and policymakers to work together to update and enhance these protections. Part I of this paper provides background information on location-based services. Part II examines the privacy concerns that arise from the use of location-based services and Part III surveys the current state of privacy protections for consumers of these services. Finally, Part IV identifies opportunities for consumers, businesses, and policymakers to reinforce privacy protections for location information so that individuals are not forced to pay for location-based services with control over their personal information.
