Philosophy and Social Media 3: Technology in Question
Facebook has shifted to a model of "frictionless sharing" that makes user data easily available to app developers and advertisers. This data is used for highly targeted advertising, which generates most of Facebook's $3.2 billion in annual revenue. Critics argue that this model exploits users' unpaid digital labor and pools their attention to be sold to advertisers. However, supporters view social media as fostering a prosumer culture of co-creation and gift exchange when networks remain relatively small and open. As size increases, these gift economies may break down and be replaced by commercial surveillance models.
Social Conscience
While online activism and digital philanthropy have been criticized as ineffective "slacktivism" or "clicktivism", the document argues they can be powerful tools when used strategically. Successful online campaigns by Greenpeace, the Climate Council, and WWF increased awareness and motivated supporters to take real-world action. Digital activism is most impactful when it focuses its message, grabs attention, inspires engagement, and encourages tangible actions like protests or donations. Harnessing the "dragonfly effect" of collective online and offline efforts can help drive significant change in addressing climate change.

All About Crowdfunding
This document discusses crowdfunding and its history, types, and how to have a successful crowdfunding campaign. It began as a way to fund creative projects through sites like Kickstarter and has expanded to fund things like education, research, and personal needs. There are two main types - donation-based, where supporters receive rewards, and investment-based, where they receive nothing. Having a compelling story, outreach, and understanding your audience are tips for success. While it allows many opportunities, crowdfunding also takes significant time and effort to manage well.

Mike's #SXSW: Session Recaps + Learnings
PBJS/MSLGROUP senior creative director Mike Standish recaps his experiences at SXSW, with one big takeaway from each session, and some notes on what it’s like to attend SXSW Interactive.
Social for social good
The document discusses how social media is used for social good and activism. It outlines how organizations use social media to raise awareness for causes. Social media allows for unprecedented international awareness and fundraising, with Facebook being the most effective platform for fundraising. Text donations on platforms like social media have also been effective in disaster relief. However, social media activism has been criticized as "slacktivism" since it allows people to feel involved without significant effort or impact. Studies have shown mixed results on whether social media activism effectively leads to real-world action and change.
Food for Thought, and Instagram
Social media changes food culture by influencing how consumers think about, talk about and experience food.
Going Social: Views From The Trenches
This document provides examples of how to enhance events using social media. It suggests talking to people about their social media use to understand current practices. It then outlines key aspects of social networking like information flow and defining events. The rest of the document lists specific social media tools and campaigns like hashtags on Twitter, check-ins on Foursquare, and challenges that could be used to boost engagement for a summer art event.
Social Media and Personal Branding
The document discusses the impact of social media on personal branding. While social media can be a valuable tool for establishing an online presence and reputation, it also presents many risks if not managed carefully. Personal information shared online can negatively impact how others perceive you professionally and personally. The document emphasizes maintaining an authentic, consistent online presence and avoiding sharing inappropriate content in order to build a strong personal brand through social media.
Clicktivism Project
Clicktivism refers to online activism through digital technologies like social media. It allows people to easily support causes from anywhere in the world with minimal time commitment by signing petitions, fundraising, or spreading awareness on social media. While clicktivism has increased participation in causes and social movements, some argue it creates more apathy than real engagement. However, others believe any activism online or offline contributes to change and clicktivism has helped raise money for important causes like ALS through viral campaigns on social media.
Bringing back the web: The digital literacies we need right now
Who are we when we're online? And how can we engage in digital spaces in ways that don't undermine the mandates, practices, and ethos of higher education? The keynote explores the underpinnings of our emergent information ecosystem. Digital and open spaces are being weaponized, while pervasive surveillance and predatory practices are normalized. Trolling and bots are regular features of social landscapes, and people are often hesitant to engage online in fighting the echo chamber. Concepts of what it means to know are increasingly generated outside the academy, in Silicon Valley AI frameworks.
What does this mean for higher ed, and for the future of knowledge in a data society? This keynote, from Virginia Tech's Digital Literacy Symposium, explores ideas grounded in adult education, critical pedagogy histories, and contemporary open practices—including participatory digital literacies and the pro-social web—that may be ways we can ALL help bring the web back from the brink.

Young participation: Social Web for societal involvement, Petter Bae Brandtzæ...The Research Council of Norway, IKTPLUSS
Young people are crucial to civic engagement but their online political activity through social media like Facebook and Twitter is debated. While such sites provide free, fast ways to organize and spread information, some argue it is "slactivism" with low commitment. Studies show Norwegian youth use social media primarily for social reasons rather than politics. While the percentage using it for politics has remained steady, reasons include social media being a new platform and youth dissatisfaction with online political options. The 2011 attacks in Norway may influence future youth civic engagement through social media.Here Comes Everybody by Clay Shirky
Clay Shirky is a graduate of Yale University who teaches at NYU and writes extensively on how social networks are shaping society. He argues that online tools give people the power to organize in groups and take collective action. Large online groups can undertake complex shared activities like sharing photos on Flickr or having conversations. The internet allows people to interact based on common interests. Shirky believes these changes will transform the world wherever people work together to accomplish something.
FILM260 - Flipbook
The document discusses whether social media users have a social responsibility similar to corporate social responsibility of companies. It provides examples of successful social media campaigns for social good like Bell Let's Talk and Ice Bucket Challenge that raised funds for charities. However, it also notes that for social media campaigns to be effective, they need a clear call to action and plan to engage supporters, not just rely on hashtags going viral. While social media is useful for spreading awareness, real change requires offline action in addition to online support.
Exploring Social Media as a Powerful Tool for Creating Meaningful Change
Digital activism is more impactful than commonly believed. While some dismiss online activists as "slacktivists", research shows social media activists are twice as likely to volunteer, four times as likely to encourage others to take action, and twice as likely to participate in events or donate. Awareness raised through social platforms can translate to tangible benefits, like the $7 million raised through text donations for Haiti earthquake relief in 2010. When coupled with offline action, digital tools give voice to more people and spread issues rapidly, showing how online and real-world activism can work together powerfully for change.
Facebook - Tool For Social Change

The Social Negatives of Social Media & Phone Addictions
Daily overuse of social media and technology can negatively impact the mental health of children and teens, making them more prone to anxiety, depression, and other psychological issues. Certain personality traits, like higher extraversion and neuroticism, are linked to increased personal social media use during work hours, which can detract from work performance. While social media provides opportunities for connection, it is important for students, employees, and others to minimize phone and social media use when in the presence of others in order to fully engage in real-world interactions and tasks.
Open Practice: Cheers & Challenges for Connected Scholarship
This document discusses challenges and opportunities of open scholarship in today's networked culture. It notes that while openness enables greater human connection and contribution, the public nature of online spaces can lead to risks like harassment, commercial exploitation of data, and the weaponization of information. However, the document argues that open scholarship remains important for building an informed society and democratic participation, and that scholars should work to shape practices of openness in a way that addresses modern challenges. Overall, the document weighs both benefits and risks of open scholarship online.
Funding via media
The document discusses various strategies for fundraising via social media and media platforms. It describes how the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge raised massive amounts of funds through social media by encouraging people to dump ice water on their heads or donate. Celebrities helped spread the challenge which contributed to its viral success. Other discussed strategies include using social media to promote events and goals, crowdfunding platforms for personal causes like education, and ensuring science crowdfunding projects are presented creatively with a clear ask and engagement of potential donors. However, some forms of online activism like hashtags may not translate into real-world actions and impact.
Who Are We When We're Online? Self in a Digital Medium
The document discusses how our identities are shaped and expressed through digital media. It notes that online we have multiple facets and selves that are amplified and networked more than ever before, bringing both opportunities and vulnerabilities. It explores how digital selves are public, social, and potentially economic, and argues that what matters most is the kind of citizen we choose to be through our online interactions and representations.
Your posts are not private
This document discusses why people overshare personal information on social media. It notes that some reasons people overshare include because they think it defines who they are, there is a separation between their online and offline identities, and they believe everyone else is doing it. However, the document warns that oversharing can have real consequences, like hurting university or job applications if admissions officers or employers find inappropriate content. It emphasizes that information shared online can remain accessible forever, so people should be careful about what they post.

Finding The Social In Fundraising: AFP Northern New England Keynote Address
This document discusses how different generations prefer to engage with nonprofit organizations and how organizations can utilize social media for fundraising. It notes that millennials and Gen X are more interested in volunteering and social sharing over monetary donations compared to older generations. Additionally, people are more likely to donate if they can directly see the impact of their donation. Successful social media fundraising campaigns utilize visual content, storytelling, peer influence, and showing the tangible impact of donations. The document encourages nonprofits to embrace new technologies, be transparent about impact, and cultivate millennial donors to meet current and future donor expectations.

Beyond Connectivity: Sharing News without the Web
Hans Rosling, professor of global health at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, recently stated that despite the wide availability of data in the world, there is a significant gap in local access to this knowledge. In this panel, experts in media development and mobile technology will discuss how information is shared in low-bandwidth environments. The panel will include case studies, interactive discussion about the sharing of news and information in areas of limited web connectivity, and tips on how to deal with issues of security, trust and safety. Examples include creative, interactive radio broadcasts; training and engagement of citizen journalists via SMS; and the challenges of maintaining data integrity in regions of high risk reporting. The session will end with a discussion of trending issues related to connectivity, such as offline participation in social media and the emergence of sensor networks.

PA592_Capstone_ Social Media Strategy for the City of Grand Ledge
This document discusses the development of a social media strategy for the City of Grand Ledge, Michigan. It notes that the Mayor had created a community Facebook page years ago, but that it had grown uncontrolled with thousands of members. A school incident highlighted the need for an official city page. The city administrator and mayor decided to create a new city Facebook page, along with a social media policy, comment policy, training, and posting guidelines. The document reviews literature on how social media can benefit local governments through improved communication, engagement, and crisis response. It provided context for developing an effective strategy for the City of Grand Ledge.
The importance of little data: creating an impact at a local level

The document encourages sharing new project ideas and offers help from Knight Circuit Riders.
Know Your Community: Data Power to the People
Data Con LA 2020
Description
The City of Los Angeles launched its open data program in 2013, making department-level data open to the public. This initial release of data was welcomed by the research and data science community. However, focus groups and discussions with citizens revealed that it was less accessible to a broad public audience. To address this, the City of Los Angeles is making the data more accessible through the Know Your Community platform which makes neighborhood-level insights and training sessions available for the public.
Speaker
Preston Mills, City of Los Angeles, Community Data Manager
Social Media & Its Use in Transportation Projects
This presentation offers insight into the current and potential uses of social media in public works with a specific focus on transportation.
Designing for Digital 2017
This document discusses designing government institutions for the 21st century. It explores how government services and civic participation have moved online, and challenges with early government websites only being about the government rather than serving citizens. The document presents examples of both successful and unsuccessful early government technology projects. It argues that public institutions need to be designed to be simple, beautiful, easy to use, respect people's time and dignity, and fully invite participation. The document advocates for institutions and designers that honor humanity, break barriers to access, and trust and support citizens.
Open Government and local community foundations: Getting involved

People Make Cities Smart
The document discusses how cities can become smart through public participation. It argues that cities are smart when they actively involve the public in management through (1) providing open data, (2) using apps to efficiently harness public input, and (3) recognizing that citizens will find their own solutions if opportunities for participation are not provided. The document provides many examples of apps and projects that facilitate public participation in city governance and management.
Open Data Durban Presentation - July, 2015
This document discusses open data in South Africa and the organization Open Data Durban. It provides a brief history of open data in South Africa, including the founding of organizations like Open Knowledge Foundation Cape Town chapter in 2011 and Code for South Africa in 2013. It also highlights some examples of open data projects developed by Code for South Africa focusing on issues like election results, government spending, crime rates, and living wages. The document encourages engaging with open data through Code4Democracy events and mailing lists.
Using Social Media For Urban Planning Projects
The presentation was recently given at the NCTAPA, Focus North Texas symposium and the Texas APA Annual Conference in Austin 2011.
The Relationship Between Ethnicity and the Online Experience
This document discusses the differences in the online experiences of ethnic minorities. While the internet was initially seen as an equalizer, access to technology and its use has not been evenly distributed among all ethnic groups. There remains a digital divide where some ethnicities have greater access to information technology than others. Even as access has increased, distinctions remain in how different ethnic groups use technology. Certain social media platforms are more popular among some ethnicities. Online communities have also formed along ethnic lines, with African-American Twitter users creating "Black Twitter" to collectively express ideas and frustrations.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
