Instagram is not the only social media site, but it has acquired a huge number of followers. More subscribers are joining this site as it allows the profile holders to use a host of useful features present on the social site. Social networking has invariably become an intrinsic part of marketing. If social presence is not cultivated, then the brand won't be able to reach the audience. If the number of consumers does not increase, then the business will slowly come to a standstill; therefore, it becomes essential to use all types of online sources to market one’s business. Talents and passions are also equally expressed through the online medium, and in many cases, the talent has been transformed in the form of business so that suitable profit can be made. The Graphical Construction Of The Site Of Instagram Instagram is primarily a social site which allowed people to make a social profile and then upload pictures and videos. The uploaded content could be shared with other Instagram profile holders. The main aim was to establish a connection by allowing the sharing of visually vibrant elements. However, as people started exploring this social site, more functions were added by the creators. The increasing number of subscribers of Instagram is proof of the fact that people are highly engaged with this site. This engagement results from the features of the site itself. The site has multiple options for all its users. There are enough modifications or picture altering tools for making even a simple click into something beautiful. When the visual content is combined with the modification tools of Instagram, then the graphical content becomes truly eye-catching. The graphical components and tools are increased by the site creators so that more vibrant modification can be done on the pictures and videos. The social profile holder on Instagram can make videos and then edit those in a professional manner using the tools present on Instagram. The tools are quite easy to understand, and individuals can apply and view the effect before uploading the video for public view. Hence the graphics of the site are noteworthy as well as the elements provided for spinning marvelous audiovisual content. The Metrics That Guarantee Fame On Social Media Sites Social media sites are popular, but that does not mean that all the profiles present within the social site are equally popular. The popularity of each and every profile heavily depends on the position of the profile in the social site. The trending position of a profile is achieved when the profile attracts a huge number of views from other profiles. Liking and sharing of posts also add to that popularity. However, in a huge social site, a meager number of likes and shares won't do the trick. If the profile is suffering from low likes or followers, then it is a matter of concern, and for boosting the social profile, a person can consider the services offered that can be found online. One needs to understand that without popularity, even high-quality content will get lost in oblivion. In order to make the profile strong and powerful so that others can also find the profile easily, one has to consider options for increasing the followers as well as likes. In social media, likes and follower count are vital. If both are low, then the profile won’t be trending on the social site. Self-Help Techniques Available For Popularizing A Social Page On Instagram It is true that work and effort are needed for making the social profile strong in the first place. If the profile is weak, then it won’t be possible to boost it even if services for that purpose are acquired. Even service providers will see whether the social page has enough substance or not. Social media marketing is a huge task, and it cannot be done without proper effort and care. Some steps which ought to be taken to strengthen the foundation of a social profile are enlisted below: 1. Chalking Out The Idea Behind The Profile If there is a particular motive behind creating the profile, then one should be absolutely clear about that motive. Instagram offers the scope to create a business as well as personal accounts. If the business is the main motive, then the person should opt for a business page rather than a personal page. The clarity in this very basic step will help in suitably planning the profile. 2. Making The Posts According To The Main Theme Of The Profile The posts should take place regularly or should, at least, follow a pattern. Updates regarding new posts can be given beforehand so that people are aware of the upcoming posts. Updates can also be used for promotional purposes and can also help in keeping the audience in the loop. If the audience becomes disengaged to lack of information, then the profile won’t acquire popularity. 3. The Creation Of A Concise Yet Informative Bio There is a section for providing one’s bio in the social profile. This is the first thing a person sees in a profile, and it has to be well drafted. Information, links to websites and links to other social accounts should be included. The bio should be informative, and just by reading the bio, the virtual visitor should be able to understand the purpose of the social page. A social profile can be easily created but making it visible before a huge virtual audience within a milieu of other social profiles is very difficult so strengthening the profile form the very beginning is essential.

Juni 2018 Berlin 2018 iii A Bill of Rights for Users of the Social Web Authored by Joseph Smarr, Marc Canter, Robert Scoble, and Michael Arrington1 September 4, 2007 Preamble: There are already many who support the ideas laid out in this Bill of Rights, but we are actively seeking to grow the roster of those publicly backing the principles and approaches it outlines. That said, this Bill of Rights is not a document “carved in stone” (or written on paper). It is a blog post, and it is intended to spur conversation and debate, which will naturally lead to tweaks of the language. So, let’s get the dialogue going and get as many of the major stakeholders on board as we can! A Bill of Rights for Users of the Social Web We publicly assert that all users of the social web are entitled to certain fundamental rights, specifically: Ownership of their own personal information, including: • their own profile data • the list of people they are connected to • the activity stream of content they create; • Control of whether and how such personal information is shared with others; and • Freedom to grant persistent access to their personal information to trusted external sites.

Alle Ergebnisse können den Datei-Anhängen „Auswertung_Studie- rende.xlsx“ und „Auswertung_Beschäftigte.xlsx“ entnommen werden. 4 Auswertung Social-Media-Umfrage 2 Methode Damit möglichst viele Studierende aus allen Fachbereichen und die Beschäftigten der Hochschule, unabhängig vom Standort, an der Erhebung teilnehmen konnten, wurde die Befragung als reine On- linebefragung durchgeführt. Aufgrund der Ähnlichkeit in Bezug auf die avisierten Zielgruppen, sowie der inhaltlichen Fragestellung wurde die Befragung in Kooperation mit der Campus IT, dem Daten- schutzbeauftragten und dem Fachbereich Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften realisiert. Der Fragebogen wurde mithilfe der Software Unipark umgesetzt und über den entsprechenden Uni- park-Server für mehrere Wochen zur Beantwortung verfügbar gehalten. Der Umfang des Fragebo- gens wurde dabei so gewählt, dass eine Bearbeitungsdauer von 10 bis 15 Minuten – inklusive Brie- fing und Debriefing – nicht überschritten wurde. Zur Gewinnung von Teilnehmenden wurden diese über diverse Kanäle angesprochen. Auf der Start- seite des Internetauftritts der HSD wurde beispielsweise eine Meldung von der Pressestelle einge- stellt.

  • Probabilistic Forecasting in Decision-Making: New Methods and Applications
    Probabilistic Forecasting in Decision-Making: New Methods and Applications Xiaojia Guo A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of University College London. UCL School of Management University College London November 10, 2020 2 I, Xiaojia Guo, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indi- cated in the work. 3 To my family for their invaluable support throughout the years. Abstract This thesis develops new methods to generate probabilistic forecasts and applies these methods to solve operations problems in practice. The first chapter introduces a new product life cycle model, the tilted-Gompertz model, which can predict the distribution of period sales and cumulative sales over a product’s life cycle. The tilted-Gompertz model is developed by exponential tilting the Gompertz model, which has been widely applied in modelling human mortality. Due to the tilting parameter, this new model is flexible and capable of describing a wider range of shapes compared to existing life cycle models. In two empirical studies, one on the adoption of new products and the other on search interest in social networking websites, I find that the tilted-Gompertz model performs well on quantile forecast- ing and point forecasting, when compared to other leading life-cycle models. In the second chapter, I develop a new exponential smoothing model that can cap- ture life-cycle trends. This new exponential smoothing model can also be viewed as a tilted-Gompertz model with time-varying parameters.

  • Social Media and the ISIS Narrative Daniel Cunningham, MA Sean F
    Social Media and the ISIS Narrative Daniel Cunningham, MA Sean F. Everton, PhD Robert Schroeder, MA Department of Defense Analysis Naval Postgraduate School Monterey, CA 93943 March 20, 2015 Abstract The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has attracted the world’s attention and much of its wrath, primarily because of its rapid expansion in Iraq and Syria, its brutal treatment of religious minorities (e.g., Yazidis, Christians), and its beheadings of hostages from Western countries. At this point, it is unclear whether the group represents a global or a sectarian form of jihadism. Is it similar to al-Qaeda, which seeks to target the far enemy (i.e., Western countries such as the U.S. that some in the Muslim world believe exert a corrupting influence on Islamic countries), or is it more sectarian in that it focuses on targeting what it perceives to be the near enemies of Islam (i.e., “corrupt” Islamic nations)? In this paper we address this debate by examining ISIS’s online presence on the social media platform, Twitter, which serves as a forum for supporters to post and receive messages, images, videos, and links to websites to and from a wide-audience. The speed at which users can transmit and receive information via Twitter suggests that an analysis of ISIS-related user accounts and the key themes and concepts they disseminate can contribute to a better understanding of the group’s overall narrative. We examine ISIS’s online presence by extracting from Twitter the semantic networks of its most influential users. We find that a shift may be occurring in the ISIS narrative, from one that focuses on the near enemy to one that focuses on the far enemy.

    THE PUBLIC SQUARE PROJECT The case for building public digital infrastructure to support our community and our democracy With majority support from Australians on curbing Facebook’s influence and role on our civic spaces, it is time to create an alternative social network that serves the public interest Research report Jordan Guiao Peter Lewis CONTENTS 2 // SUMMARY 3 // INTRODUCTION 5 // REIMAGINING THE PUBLIC SQUARE 10 // A NEW PUBLIC DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE 12 // CONSIDERATIONS IN BUILDING PUBLIC DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE 17 // TOWARDS THE FUTURE 19 // CONCLUSION 20 // APPENDIX — ALTERNATE SOCIAL NETWORKS OVER TIME The public square is a place where citizens come together, exchange ideas and mediate differences. It has its origins in the physical town square, where a community can gather in a central and open public space. As towns grew and technology progressed, the public square has become an anchor of democracy, with civic features like public broadcasting creating a space between the commercial, the personal and the government that helps anchor communities in shared understanding. 1 | SUMMARY In recent times, online platforms like Facebook In re-imagining a new public square, this paper have usurped core aspects of what we expect from proposes an incremental evolution of the Australian a public square.

Clockwise from top left: Linbury Theatre, Royal Opera House; The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare Theater; Hudson Theatre, Broadway; Studio Theatre, Bristol Old Vic. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF ISPA Dear Friends, ransitions. We all think about them. Some of us worry about them. But we are all impacted by them. As much as we may try to be present each moment of our days, it is the rare person who does not ponder what comes next. Transitions can be as exhilarating as they are scary. In these times of rapid-fire change and volatility (mostly beyond our personal control), it is Teasy to default to a position of wanting to hang on to what we know. Stay the course. Be steady. Reduce risk. WELCOME Yet continuing to do the same thing that works for us today may be the very act that fails us tomorrow. Our Congress Co-chairs Collette Brennan and Steinunn Ragnarsdóttir have given us a brilliantly provocative theme to consider with an array of thought-leaders from within our field and beyond offering varied perspectives on how we might navigate the inevitability of the transitions we encounter. For me, transitions is a particularly apt theme as I prepare to pass on the chairmanship of ISPA to our colleague Tisa Ho. As an ISPA member for 20 years and board member for most of that time, I have been fortunate to work with so many gifted members who have given selflessly in leading ISPA through incredible Transitions.

  • Public Poll Findings and Methodology
    PUBLIC POLL FINDINGS AND METHODOLOGY Misinformation around U.S. Capitol unrest, election spreading among Americans New Ipsos poll shows Capitol rioters viewed as “criminals,” “right-wing terrorists,” but views divided sharply along partisan lines Topline Findings Washington, DC, January 19, 2021 – In the wake of the January 6th storming of the U.S. Capitol, Ipsos took another look at beliefs toward misinformation and election-related conspiracy theories. There is over a 60-point gap between Democrats and Republicans regarding whether Joe Biden legitimately won the 2020 presidential election, a sign of how politically divided this country is, and what facts we are willing to accept. Following the attack last week, most Americans see the people who entered the Capitol as criminals or right-wing domestic terrorists and, as a result, support the suspension of the president’s social media accounts. Detailed Findings 1. Most of the American public views the people who entered the Capitol as criminals or right-wing domestic terrorists. A plurality support social media outlets removing President Trump and QAnon accounts as a result of the event. • Nearly one in three (31%) say they are criminals, and 26% say they are right-wing terrorists. • Just four percent believe they are patriots who were fighting to preserve our freedoms. • News consumption plays a role in views of the events, as does partisanship. • For example, one in four who get their news from FOX or conservative online outlets believe they were left-wing terrorists or Antifa, compared to just 7% of CNN or MSNBC viewers. Forty-five percent of Democrats see these people as right-wing domestic terrorists, while 10% of Republicans feel the same.

    Partisan Platforms: Responses to Perceived Liberal Bias in Social Media A Research Paper submitted to the Department of Engineering and Society Presented to the Faculty of the School of Engineering and Applied Science University of Virginia • Charlottesville, Virginia In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science, School of Engineering Luke Giraudeau Spring, 2021 On my honor as a University Student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this assignment as defined by the Honor Guidelines for Thesis-Related Assignments Signature __________________________________________ Date __________ Luke Giraudeau Approved __________________________________________ Date __________ Richard Jacques, Department of Engineering and Society Introduction In the United States, public opinion about tech companies’ political biases is divided along partisan lines (Vogels, Perrin, & Anderson, 2020). In the U.S. since 2018, 69 percent of Republicans claim that technology companies favor liberal views, whereas only 19 percent of Democrats say that technology companies favor the alternative view. Over 50 percent of liberals believe that perspectives are treated equally, whereas only 22 percent of conservatives feel this way. Critics who allege bias have organized to promote legislation such as the Ending Support for Internet Censorship Act (2020) as well as an executive order (Executive Order 13,925, 2020). Furthermore, conservative entrepreneurs have produced new social media platforms such as Gab and Parler that claim
