Social Media – Apart, Together Social Media – apart, together Gabriela Avram Introduction to Digital Media 2017 Social Media p the use of web-based and mobile technologies to turn communication into an interactive dialogue. p "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content.” (Kaplan and Hänlein, 2010) Social Media p Social media are media for social interaction, as a superset beyond social communication. Enabled by ubiquitously accessible and scalable communication techniques, social media substantially change the way of communication between organizations, communities, as well as individuals. (Kietzmann et al, 2011) Social Media p A common thread running through all definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the co- creation of value. p http://mashable.com/2011/01/24/the-history-of-social-media- infographic/ Brief history p 1940s — Memex p 1960's — ARPA and Licklider p 1960s — Augmentation p 1970s — Office Automation p 1970s — Electronic Information Exchange System (EIES) p 1980s — Groupware -"intentional group processes plus software to support them”. p 1980s — Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) p 1990's — Groupware -software that integrates work on a single project by several concurrent users at separated workstations 2000s — Evolution of Social Software p It isn't until late 2002 that the term 'social software' came into more common usage, probably due to the efforts of Clay Shirky who organized a "Social Software Summit" in November of 2002. He recalls his first usage of the term to be from approximately April of 2002. p I asked Clay if it was the loss of meaning in the terms 'groupware' that made him choose the term 'social software', and he replied: p "I was looking for something that gathered together all uses of software that supported interacting groups, even if the interaction was offline, e.g. Meetup, nTag, etc. Groupware was the obvious choice, but had become horribly polluted by enterprise groupware work."

Many micro-blogs provide short messages about personal matters, commentary on a person-to-person level, or a link dump. p Twitter p Identi.ca p Yammer p Tumblr p Instagram p (Facebook, Google+ etc.) Search for #Limerick on Twitter Wikis p A Wiki or wiki is a website (or other hypertext document collection) that allows users to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows anyone to edit the content. p Two core assumptions incorporated in the wiki mechanism: ■ knowledge is transitory, not static ■ the whole is greater than the sum of the parts (through each individual’s contribution, the resulting product is made better and better.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Sheeran Saturday, 10 Oct 2015, 10:30-15:30, Fab lab Limerick Let’s see: pA blog is made of …. pA wiki is made of.... pA Twitter account contains ... pA # (hashtag) can include several... pA post can have .... authors pAn article can have ....authors Social Network Services 1.

I examine how song and dance – sites of aesthetic difference within the musical – can warp time and enable marginalized and semi-marginalized fans to imagine different ways of being in the world. Musical numbers can complicate a linear, developmental plot by accelerating and decelerating time, foregrounding repetition and circularity, bringing the past to life and projecting into the future, and physicalizing dreams in a narratively open present. These excesses have the potential to contest naturalized constructions of historical, progressive time, as well as concordant constructions of gender, sexual, and racial identities. While the musical has historically been a rich source of identification for the stereotypical white gay male show queen, this project validates a broad and flexible range of non-normative readings.

Harrison This report represents the work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. ABSTRACT This project quantifies student-centered benefits of attending special interest meetings called “meetups”, and identifies barriers that impact student attendance to meetups, in order to provide recommendations for improving extracurricular education at WPI. Our objective is to ensure that WPI students understand the benefits of attending meetups in the greater Boston area that relate to their academic interests and professional development. The results of 322 student survey responses and multiple interviews suggest that WPI students are generally unaware of meetups and the benefits of attending them, but that the small percentage of students who have attended meetups report significant improvements to their educational experience and career prospects. i | P a g e ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Our team would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the following individuals for their support and encouragement throughout the duration of this project: Our project advisor, Professor Lane Harrison, who supported our team throughout the entire duration of the project.

    Claiming Places: An Exploration of People’s Use of Locative Media and the Relationship to Sense of Place by Glen E. Farrelly A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Glen E. Farrelly 2017 Claiming Places: An Exploration of People’s Use of Locative Media and the Relationship to Sense of Place Glen E. Farrelly Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract This dissertation explores the role of locative media in people’s place-making activities and sense of place. Sense of place is a human need that entails people’s meanings, memories, and feelings for a location. Recent technological and market developments have introduced powerful geographic information tools and place-related media. By identifying a user’s location, locative media deliver geographically relevant content that enable people to capture and preserve place information, virtually append it to space, and broadcast it to others. Despite locative media’s growing prominence, the influence on sense of place is not well understood. A major finding of this research is that use of locative media can contribute meaningfully to a person’s positive sense of place, including fostering existential connection. This study refutes scholarly and popular dismissals of the medium as only detracting from sense of place. Locative media was found to enable people to make spaces their own by offering geographic relevant information and experiences, recording and sharing place-related impressions, and presenting places in new and enjoyable ways, such as through defamiliarization and decommodification.

  • How Location-Based Social Network Applications Are Being Used
    Sean David Brennan HOW LOCATION-BASED SOCIAL NETWORK APPLICATIONS ARE BEING USED JYVÄSKYLÄN YLIOPISTO TIETOJENKÄSITTELYTIETEIDEN LAITOS 2015 ABSTRACT Brennan, Sean David How Location-Based Social Network Applications Are Being Used Jyväskylä: University of Jyväskylä, 2015, 60 p. Information Systems Science, Master’s Thesis Supervisor: Veijalainen, Jari Location-based social network applications have globally become very popular with the expansion of smartphone usage. Location-based social networks (LBSN) can be defined as a site that uses Web 2.0 technology, GPS, WiFi positioning or mobile devices to allow people to share their locations, which is referred to commonly as a check-in, and to connect with their friends, find places of interest, and leave reviews or tips on specific venues. The aim of this study was to examine how location-based social applications are being used. The methods of this study comprised of a literature review and a discussion on prior research based on a selection of user studies on location-based social networks. This study also aimed at answering a number of sub-questions on user behavior such as activity patterns, motivations for sharing location, privacy concerns, and current and future trends in the field. Twelve LBSN user behavior studies were reviewed in this study. Eight of the user studies reviewed involved the application Foursquare. Research methods on eight of the reviewed studies were studies utilizing databases of the check-ins from the application itself or utilizing Twitter in their analysis. Four of the reviewed studies were user studies involving interviews and surveys. Three main themes emerged from the articles, which were activity patterns, motivations for sharing, and privacy concerns.
