An example of this is the Twitter API. Atom: Web feeds are used by the blogging community to share recent entries’ headlines, full text, and even attached multimedia files. These providers allow other Web sites to incorporate the blog’s “syndicated” headline or headline-and-short-summary feeds under various usage agreements. Atom and other Web syndication formats like RSS are now used for many purposes, including journalism, marketing, bug-reports, or any other activity involving periodic updates or publications.

It’s possible to use this stream of information to create customized feeds to share, as well as originate new posts/discussions/comments with friends.

The bestselling book of the same name is based on analysis by Forrester Research, and includes practical, data-based strategies for companies that want to harness the power of social technologies like blogs, social networks, and YouTube. H Hashtag: Because Twitter provided no easy way to group tweets or add extra data, the Twitter community came up with their own way: hashtags. A hashtag is similar to other Web Social Media Policy tags — it helps add tweets to a category. Hashtags have the ‘hash’ or ‘pound’ symbol (#) preceding the tag, like so: #socialmedia, #marketing, #hashtag. hi5: hi5 is a social network focused on the youth market. It’s a social entertainment destination, with a focus on delivering a fun and entertainment-driven social experience online to users around the world. HootSuite: HootSuite is a Web-based Twitter client for individuals and organizations. With HootSuite, you can manage multiple Twitter profiles, pre-schedule tweets, and view metrics, and teams can collaboratively schedule updates to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, WordPress, and other social networks via Web, desktop, and mobile platforms.

  • Metadata for Semantic and Social Applications
    etadata is a key aspect of our evolving infrastructure for information management, social computing, and scientific collaboration. DC-2008M will focus on metadata challenges, solutions, and innovation in initiatives and activities underlying semantic and social applications. Metadata is part of the fabric of social computing, which includes the use of wikis, blogs, and tagging for collaboration and participation. Metadata also underlies the development of semantic applications, and the Semantic Web — the representation and integration of multimedia knowledge structures on the basis of semantic models. These two trends flow together in applications such as Wikipedia, where authors collectively create structured information that can be extracted and used to enhance access to and use of information sources. Recent discussion has focused on how existing bibliographic standards can be expressed as Semantic Metadata for Web vocabularies to facilitate the ingration of library and cultural heritage data with other types of data. Harnessing the efforts of content providers and end-users to link, tag, edit, and describe their Semantic and information in interoperable ways (”participatory metadata”) is a key step towards providing knowledge environments that are scalable, self-correcting, and evolvable. Social Applications DC-2008 will explore conceptual and practical issues in the development and deployment of semantic and social applications to meet the needs of specific communities of practice.

Blog, short for Web log, is just a Web site with Wa series of dated entries, with the most recent entry on top. Those entries can contain any type of content you want. Blogs typically include links to other sites and online articles with the blogger’s reactions and com- ments, but many blogs simply contain the blogger’s own ramblings. Unquestionably, the popularity of blogging has fueled the expansion of RSS feeds. According to Technorati, a company that offers a search engine for blogs in addition to market research services, about one-third of blogs have RSS feeds. Some people who maintain blogs are publishing an RSS feed with- out even knowing about it, because some of the blog Web sites automatically create feeds (more about how this happens shortly). If you think that blogs are only personal affairs, remember that Microsoft has hundreds of them, and businesses are using them more and more to keep employees, colleagues, and customersCOPYRIGHTED up to date.

  • Mapodwalk Caster
    A USER ENVIRONMENT FOR SYNDICATING AND AGGREGATING MAP-INTEGRATED AUDIO TOURS: MAPODWALK CASTER Ken’ichi Tsuruoka [email protected] Masatoshi Arikawa [email protected] Center for Spatial Information Science The University of Tokyo Kashiwanoha-5-1-5, Kashiwa City, Chiba, Japan Abstract In this paper, we focus on providing users new environment for syndicating and aggregating audio tours with animated maps over the Internet. Geotagged photos nowadays are getting popular as one of the spatial content on the Internet in the revolution of Where 2.0. However, this single media of photo often has some difficulty to represent users’ sequential stories and their context. On the other hand, audio streams are able to contain sequential stories and their context effectively. But users have difficulty on syndicating place-related audio streams compared with geotagged photos because there is no user-friendly environment for sharing audio streams with geotags. We have implemented maPodWalk Caster to solve the problems of syndicating and aggregating geotagged audio tours. The platform provides a place-related aggregation by storing geotagged audio stream and new experiments on place-related audio stream sharing opportunities for geospatial communication. 1. Introduction There are web-based broadcasting content called Podcast. It allows people to create and distribute various kinds of audio content for their interest such as ones for introducing a person’s interest. The large number of free Podcast is increasing on the Internet for commercial and non-commercial purposes. Some Podcast is made for guiding and telling stories about the real world. This kind of Podcast is often called PodWalk.

These have led to the development and evolution of Web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites (i.e. Facebook, MySpace), video sharing sites (i.e. YouTube), wikis, blogs, etc. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to any actual change in technical specifications, but rather to changes in the ways software developers and end- users utilize the Web. Web 2.0 is a catch-all term used to describe a variety of developments on the Web and a perceived shift in the way it is used. This shift can be characterized as the evolution of Web use from passive consumption of content to more active participation, creation and sharing. Web 2.0 Websites allow users to do more than just retrieve information.

Publication Date 2008-02-08 DOI 10.5070/D441000621 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Colonialism has left its indelible mark on the world: cultures denied, traditions altered or erased, narratives ignored—all under the guise of noble, and perhaps sincere, intentions of spreading civility among “heathens” and the “wretched.” Power and authority have been assumed with little regard for the conquered as their voices have been disavowed, discounted as subhuman. Societal structures have been implemented as ideal solutions to the perceived inferiority of indigenous societal structures; language, culture, and traditions of a conqueror have been imposed on the conquered, an ontology imposed on another, despite cultural incongruence, and in consequence of power assumed by one over another. The colonized have been classified as the “others,” as “uncivilized,” as “ungodly in need of saving.” This has been the experience of China and Korea at the hands of Japan; the Philippines at the hands of Spain; India, Burma, and Singapore at the hands of Britain; and countless others throughout history. While the example of colonialism may be extreme as a metaphor for ontology, it still serves as a compelling metaphor; colonialism alludes to structures of power, as does an ontology imposing itself on another. In hindsight, history has revealed the terrors and consequences of colonialism, including loss of culture, loss of life, and loss of heritage.

    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.
