  • To Make Claims About Or Even Adequately Understand the "True Nature" of Organizations Or Leadership Is a Monumental Task
    BooK REvrnw: HERE CoMES EVERYBODY: THE PowER OF ORGANIZING WITHOUT ORGANIZATIONS (Clay Shirky, Penguin Press, 2008. Hardback, $25.95] -CHRIS FRANCOVICH GONZAGA UNIVERSITY To make claims about or even adequately understand the "true nature" of organizations or leadership is a monumental task. To peer into the nature of the future of these complex phenomena is an even more daunting project. In this book, however, I think we have both a plausible interpretation of organ­ ization ( and by implication leadership) and a rare glimpse into what we are becoming by virtue of our information technology. We live in a complex, dynamic, and contingent environment whose very nature makes attributing cause and effect, meaning, or even useful generalizations very difficult. It is probably not too much to say that historically the ability to both access and frame information was held by the relatively few in a system and structure whose evolution is, in its own right, a compelling story. Clay Shirky is in the enviable position of inhabiting the domain of the technological elite, as well as being a participant and a pioneer in the social revolution that is occurring partly because of the technologies and tools invented by that elite. As information, communication, and organization have grown in scale, many of our scientific, administrative, and "leader-like" responses unfortu­ nately have remained the same. We find an analogous lack of appropriate response in many followers as evidenced by large group effects manifested through, for example, the response to advertising. However, even that herd­ like consumer behavior seems to be changing. Markets in every domain are fragmenting.

  • Ephemeral but Influential? the Correlation Between Facebook
    healthcare Article Ephemeral But Influential? The Correlation between Facebook Stories Usage, Addiction, Narcissism, and Positive Affect Sen-Chi Yu 1,* and Hong-Ren Chen 2 1 Department of Counseling and Applied Psychology, National Taichung University of Education, Taichung City 40306, Taiwan 2 Department of Digital Content and Technology, National Taichung University of Education, Taichung City 40306, Taiwan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 8 September 2020; Accepted: 20 October 2020; Published: 26 October 2020 Abstract: Despite the steep increase in Facebook Stories users, there is scant research on this topic. This study compared the associations of frequency of Stories update, frequency of news feed updates, time spent reading Stories, and time spent reading news feeds, with regard to social media addiction, narcissism, and positive affect in college students. We recruited a sample of 316 college students from Taiwan. The analytical results show that Facebook Stories are more addictive and provoke more positive affect than conventional news feeds. Moreover, only usage behaviors associated with Stories predict narcissism. This study also found that the prediction of news feeds with regard to addiction, narcissism, and positive affect also seems to be diminishing and is being replaced by those of Stories. Future studies on the psychological consequences and predictors of social media usage should regard Stories as a crucial variable. Keywords: Facebook Stories; social media addiction; narcissism; positive affect 1. Introduction Facebook Stories are ephemeral, short user-generated photo and video collections that display shared content for a limited period of time [1]. Stories offer a news feed that relies on visual rather than written information.

  • Strategic Use of Online Social Networks for Librarian Current Awareness
    Keeping up: strategic use of online social networks for librarian current awareness Sue Cook, Information Specialist, CSIRO Information Management and Technology [email protected] Constance Wiebrands, Manager, Flexible Delivery and Lending Services, Curtin University Library [email protected] Abstract: Librarians were surveyed in August 2009 about their use of online social networks for professional information. This paper describes the features of online social networking tools that facilitate the flow of relevant current awareness information. Practical methods that can be used strategically within tools to ensure that information is professionally relevant are described, including methods of discovery and evaluation. Introduction As librarians distributing current awareness information, we know that there are various parameters that are included in the evaluation of a desirable current awareness tool. The tool should be able to deliver current, relevant information without a huge burden in time and effort for the client or adding to their information overload. We need to apply these same criteria in assessing our own current awareness needs. Librarian information sources – journals, conference papers, blogs - are either too slow to publication to be truly current or too numerous to effectively monitor. A scan of the Twibes Twitter directory in May 2009 found that 781 users who identified as librarians had registered on the directory. There were 249 members of the Library Society of the World Friendfeed group, 528 members of the ALIA Facebook group and over 500 other librarian groups. The members of these communities are not only sharing information about themselves but information about their work and professional lives.

  • The Brand-Generated Content Interaction of Instagram Stories and Publications: a Comparison Between Retailers and Manufacturers
    Article The Brand-Generated Content Interaction of Instagram Stories and Publications: A Comparison between Retailers and Manufacturers Paloma de H. Sánchez-Cobarro 1, Francisco-Jose Molina-Castillo 2,* and Cristina Alcazar-Caceres 3 1 Departamento de Información y Documentación, University of Murcia, 30100 Murcia, Spain; [email protected] 2 Departamento de Comercialización e Investigación de Mercados, University of Murcia, 30100 Murcia, Spain 3 Bee Social, 30100 Murcia, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-868-8878-26 Received: 14 October 2020; Accepted: 25 November 2020; Published: 27 November 2020 Abstract: The last decade has seen a considerable increase in entertainment-oriented communication techniques. Likewise, the rise of social networks has evolved, offering different formats such as publication and stories. Hence, there has been a growing interest in knowing which strategies have the greatest social impact to help position organizations in the mind of the consumer. This research aims to analyze the different impact that stories and publications can have on the Instagram social network as a tool for generating branded content. To this end, it analyses the impact of the different Instagram stories and publications in various sectors using a methodology of structural equations with composite constructs. The results obtained, based on 800 stories and publications in four different companies (retailers and manufacturers), show that the reach of the story generally explains the interaction with Instagram stories. In contrast, in the case of publications, impressions are of greater importance in explaining the interaction with the publication. Among the main contributions of the work, we find that traditional pull communication techniques have been losing effectiveness in front of new formats of brand content generation that have been occupying the time in the relationship between users and brands.

If you follow me on Instagram (I hope so!) you may have noticed that I'm partial to the odd Insta story. I absolutely LOVE them and I often ignore the feed in favour of watching stories. And I’m not alone; Did you know that Instagram Stories are now viewed by 500 million people daily and this number is growing. Facebook stories, while slow to begin with, are fast playing catch up with 300 daily active users. ‘Snackable’ content is the new black and our preference for more authentic and real content has grown. Stories are where the party’s at and small business owners, if you’re not using them you’re missing out. Here’s why; When people watch your Stories, they are more likely to engage in conversation with you via DM. Conversations lead to conversions. Also, when users engage with your Stories your posts are more likely to appear in their feed, thereby keeping you top of mind. As well a means to beat the Algorithm, Stories provide an amazing opportunity to show your brand personality, to connect with your audience on a personal level and, frankly, as a way to have some creative fun! And who doesn't want to have more fun?

  • The Hottest Magazine Launch of the Past 30 Years
    Mr. Magazine™ Selects ‘InStyle’ – The Hottest Magazine Launch Of The Past 30 Years You can’t have the 30 Hottest Magazine Launches of the Past 30 Years without calling out the current Hottest Publisher, Editor and Designer(s) who have put their respective magazine(s) through its paces to land it in this most elite of groups. Announcements of the winners were made at the min 30 Event on April 14 at the Grand Hyatt in New York. On any given day, Mr. Magazine™ can be seen flipping through individual copies of new magazine launches, but I can also be found thumbing happily among those legacy brands that have led the way for all those new titles that have followed, such as in the case of the 30 Hottest Launches of the Past 30 Years. And in doing so, I have observed the trails that have been blazed in both the editorial and designer forests, and with the advertising revenue streams that run perpendicular to those creative trails, only to connect somewhere a little farther down the path to become the communal force of nature that they are when joined. The result was the Hottest Publisher, Editor, and Designer of the past 30 years. After all, you can’t have hot magazines without equally smoking people. So, as difficult as it was to choose among the stellar talent out there, I somehow managed to do it, and during the same epiphany came up with five questions to ask each of them. Without further ado, we begin with our Hottest Publisher of the Last 30 Years: Hubert Boehle, President, CEO, Bauer Media Group USA, LLC.
