  • Figure 1 Timeline of the Launch Dates of Many Major Snss and Dates When Community Sites Re-Launched with SNS Features
    Figure 1 Timeline of the launch dates of many major SNSs and dates when community sites re-launched with SNS features 212 Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication 13 (2008) 210–230 ª 2008 International Communication Association Beyond profiles, Friends, comments, and private messaging, SNSs vary greatly in their features and user base. Some have photo-sharing or video-sharing capabilities; others have built-in blogging and instant messaging technology. There are mobile- specific SNSs (e.g., Dodgeball), but some web-based SNSs also support limited mobile interactions (e.g., Facebook, MySpace, and Cyworld). Many SNSs target people from specific geographical regions or linguistic groups, although this does not always determine the site’s constituency. Orkut, for example, was launched in the United States with an English-only interface, but Portuguese-speaking Brazilians quickly became the dominant user group (Kopytoff, 2004). Some sites are designed with specific ethnic, religious, sexual orientation, political, or other identity-driven categories in mind. There are even SNSs for dogs (Dogster) and cats (Catster), although their owners must manage their profiles. While SNSs are often designed to be widely accessible, many attract homoge- neous populations initially, so it is not uncommon to find groups using sites to segregate themselves by nationality, age, educational level, or other factors that typically segment society (Hargittai, this issue), even if that was not the intention of the designers. A History of Social Network Sites The Early Years According to the definition above, the first recognizable social network site launched in 1997. SixDegrees.com allowed users to create profiles, list their Friends and, beginning in 1998, surf the Friends lists.

  • Internet Peer-To-Peer File Sharing Policy Effective Date 8T20t2010
    Title: Internet Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Policy Policy Number 2010-002 TopicalArea: Security Document Type Program Policy Pages: 3 Effective Date 8t20t2010 POC for Changes Director, Office of Computing and Information Services (OCIS) Synopsis Establishes a Dalton State College-wide policy regarding copyright infringement. Overview The popularity of Internet peer-to-peer file sharing is often the source of network resource allocation problems and copyright infringement. Purpose This policy will define Internet peer-to-peer file sharing and state the policy of Dalton State College (DSC) on this issue. Scope The scope of this policy includes all DSC computing resources. Policy Internet peer-to-peer file sharing applications are frequently used to distribute copyrighted materials such as music, motion pictures, and computer software. Such exchanges are illegal and are not permifted on Dalton State Gollege computers or network. See the standards outlined in the Appropriate Use Policy. DSG Procedures and Sanctions Failure to comply with the appropriate use of these resources threatens the atmosphere for the sharing of information, the free exchange of ideas, and the secure environment for creating and maintaining information property, and subjects one to discipline. Any user of any DSC system found using lT resources for unethical and/or inappropriate practices has violated this policy and is subject to disciplinary proceedings including suspension of DSC privileges, expulsion from school, termination of employment and/or legal action as may be appropriate. Although all users of DSC's lT resources have an expectation of privacy, their right to privacy may be superseded by DSC's requirement to protect the integrity of its lT resources, the rights of all users and the property of DSC and the State.

  • A Study of Internet Based Community Interactions
    Virtual Online Communities: A Study of Internet Based Community Interactions A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Adrian M. Budiman August 2008 This dissertation titled Virtual Communities Online: A Study of Internet Based Community Interactions by ADRIAN M. BUDIMAN has been approved for the School of Media Arts and Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Drew McDaniel Professor of Telecommunications Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract BUDIMAN, ADRIAN M., Ph.D., August 2008, Mass Communication Virtual Online Communities: A Study of Internet Based Community Interactions (167 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Drew McDaniel The aim of this research was to better understand virtual online communities (VOCs), that is, communities that are formed and maintained through the Internet. This research was guided by four research questions: What do participants in VOCs actually seek? How does a participant critically evaluate information produced in VOCs? What differences do VOC members perceive between their online community experiences compared to their experiences in real-life face-to-face communities? In what ways might a VOC shape its members’ views toward political and social change? The methodology employed was participant observation of 20 informants within their online and offline realms plus in-depth interviews with each informant. Interviews and observations were conducted from 2005 – 2007. This research identified two different types of VOCs: dependent and self- contained VOCs. Dependent VOCs act as extensions to already existent face-to-face communities while self-sustained VOCs are communities where relationships between members are formed, developed, and nurtured purely through virtual encounters on the Internet based on shared interests.

It has increased drastically during the last few years, and there are still a lot of questions about what this means, and how this new media affects communication. This study focuses on young people of 11-13, i.e.the age between children and teenagers, also called tweens. In a large study, the overall aim is to see what communication in the Internet community LunarStorm means to them in their social life. This particular paper reports on the content of the asynchronous communication in the participants’ digital guest books, which is one of the main channels for communication between the participants. A group of 15 tweens from a small village in Sweden were studied when communicating in Sweden’s largest Internet community, LunarStorm. The research method used was what is usually described as cyber ethnography.

  • An Empirical Study of Observational Learning
    An Empirical Study of Observational Learning Peter W. Newberry∗ The Pennsylvania State University June 17, 2013 Abstract This paper is an empirical examination of observational learning. Using data from an online market for music, I find that learning is a valuable tool for the producers of high quality products and for consumers, but not necessarily for the online platform. I also study the role of pric- ing as a friction to the learning process by comparing outcomes under a demand-based pricing scheme to the counterfactual outcomes under a fixed price. I find that a price of 99 cents per song (the traditional price in the industry) hampers learning by reducing the incentive to experiment. Keywords: Observational Learning, Online Markets, Recorded Music, Search Goods, Demand- Based Pricing JEL Codes: L15, L82, M31, D83 ∗Contact information: [email protected]. I am grateful to J-F Houde, Ken Hendricks and Alan Sorensen for their support and advice on this project. I also am thankful for comments and suggestions from Paul Grieco, Dan Quint, Chris Adams, Mark Roberts, Russ Cooper, Amit Gandhi and numerous other seminar and conference participants. All remaining errors are my own. 1 Introduction When a consumer is uncertain about a new product, she may rely on information provided by her peers as a signal of the unknown quality. Opportunities for this social learning exist in many markets today, with product reviews and/or popularity rankings being especially prevalent. The latter is an example of observational learning: learning from observing the purchase decisions of your peers. In this paper, I estimate the effect of observational learning on three market-level outcomes: the probability of success for a high quality product (i.e., discovery), the expected consumer welfare, and the expected revenue.

    Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship danah m. boyd [email protected] School of Information University of California-Berkeley Nicole B. Ellison [email protected] Department of Telecommunication, Information Studies, and Media Michigan State University Abstract Introduction Social Network Sites: A Definition A History of Social Network Sites Previous Scholarship Overview of this Special Theme Section Future Research Acknowledgments Notes References About the Authors Abstract Social network sites (SNSs) are increasingly attracting the attention of academic and industry researchers intrigued by their affordances and reach. This special theme section of the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication brings together scholarship on these emergent phenomena. In this introductory article, we describe features of SNSs and propose a comprehensive definition. We then present one perspective on the history of such sites, discussing key changes and developments. After briefly summarizing existing scholarship concerning SNSs, we discuss the articles in this special section and conclude with considerations for future research. Introduction Since their introduction, social network sites (SNSs) such as MySpace, Facebook, Cyworld, and Bebo have attracted millions of users, many of whom have integrated these sites into their daily practices. As of this writing, there are hundreds of SNSs, with various technological affordances, supporting a wide range of interests and practices. While their key technological features are fairly consistent, the cultures that emerge around SNSs are varied. Most sites support the maintenance of pre-existing social networks, but others help strangers connect based on shared interests, political views, or activities. Some sites cater to diverse audiences, while others attract people based on common language or shared racial, sexual, religious, or nationality-based identities.
