Social Media and Social Media Marketing: A Literature Reviewiosrjce
Social media and social media marketing are sometimes used interchangeably, but two indeed are
different. The purpose of this research paper is to revisit the literature on both concepts and correlates them in
technical terminologies. We have studied the literature available on Social media first and identified the basic
functionalities of it. Then the literature available on social media marketing helped us in identifying its
dimensions. In conclusion section of the research paper we have correlated the two concepts and redefined
social media marketing in technical terms.
Leading Media Advertising Agency Mediaedge:cia created a manual to help break down social media for clients and non-experts. It has input from many social media experts from within the agency.

Media materiality theorists cast social movement theories in a new lightLindsayEms
This paper presented at the 2012 European Association of Antropologigists conference in Nanterre, France considers the role that media have played in shaping the structure and
outcomes of revolutions and revolutionary events. Inspired by the debate about the
role of social media tools like Twitter and Facebook in recent protests and revolutions in northern Africa and the Middle East, this paper turns to existing literature on social movements by sociologists, in which communication tools go
largely unnoticed, and puts it in dialogue with the work of media theorists. Setting
these theoretical bodies next to one another enables a different kind of discussion to
emerge; a discussion which offers a new lens through which to see social
movements in the digital age. Theories of media materiality help augment existing
social movement theories by making the experience, image and outcome of a social
movement dependent (to an extent) on the communication technologies used to
make it happen. Findings suggest that geography becomes just another aspect of the story told about or experience of a social movement today as our worldviews
increasingly adopt characteristics of the technologies we use to communicate.

What’s in a boundary? Exploring the subcultural dynamics that protect the Ami...LindsayEms
This talk reveals a snapshot of my dissertation project in its current, pre-proposal form. Today, all kinds of subcultures are coalescing online—from from support groups to, fan groups, to activist groups, to hobby guilds, to political parties, to tinkerer groups, to philanthropy groups, etc. Prior to industrialization, humans largely lived in and made sense of the world through an association to a tribe or small group, so this tendency may not be surprising. The reasons people are drawn into subcultural associations today, however, are different from before. In addition to kinship ties, styles of dress, and language, today, shared technological practice acts to identify members as part of a subculture. The dynamic process of subcultural boundary-making through technology use will be illuminated in this project by drawing on ethnographic data collected on preliminary site visits to Indiana Amish communities. The Amish provide a particularly illustrative example of the dynamic mechanisms that govern subcultural boundary-making today because of their history of developing (often enigmatic) rules about technology use that govern their interactions with people outside their subculture.

Assignment Details
Part 1
For many thousands of years, the primary method of communication was for people to physically gather together to share ideas and discuss concerns. In today’s technology driven world, huge numbers of people gather together without ever directly seeing each other. This is done through social media. Social media is known to produce great changes on how individuals and communities communicate and perceive each other.
Complete the following in a minimum 1-page response:
Briefly, define social media such as Google+®, Twitter®, Pinterest®, LinkedIn®, and Facebook® and how it differs from traditional media. In addition, how has social media impacted the workplace?
Given the increased prevalence of social media, how has your personal perspective of multiculturalism and diversity been impacted?
Select an organization you belong to. How do you think your perspective has impacted that organization? How do you feel that others in the organization have been impacted?
Part 2
As an information technology professional, you are faced with opposing perspectives on ethical issues in your daily work. Research opposing perspectives on ethical issues faced in the Information Technology field as it pertains to networking. An example might be the difference in perspectives of utilizing biometrics for authentication.
Take into consideration the opposing perspectives of different technologies, as it relates to ethics and complete the following in a minimum 1-page essay.
Identify the opposing perspective you have chosen.
Explain the ethical implications that are inherent with both sides of the issue.
Given the ethical implications on both sides of the issue, evaluate the ethical implications on both sides.
Provide your perspective on how you might apply the issue in a work situation.

Professor Renee Hobbs explores how disparities in access to information contribute to misunderstandings and explains how analyzing media helps make our interpretation processes transparent. She shows how creating media helps people share in the social power of representing ideas and identity and notes that such competencies are essential for advancing the social responsibilities of media consumers and creators.
This workshop is part of the Media Education: Make It Happen! program, a series of free resources to help educators understand and facilitate media literacy in their classrooms. The program consists of a booklet, PowerPoint workshop, and a facilitator's guide with handouts.
Social media refers to applications and websites – the collective of online communications channels – that enable people, companies, and other organizations to create and share content on social networking sites and blogs.
In this session, we talk about the mobile and social web, and how it shapes economy, individual behavior and well-being, political events, and society as a whole.
This is a documentation of a session on stimulating discussion on the relationship between social media and social innovation. Approximately 40 students contributed.
The findings of this research study (purchase on Amazon.com) examines the impact social media has on consumers and decision-makers around the world and characterizes the impact of social influence models. The Social Mind research explores the best practices of using social business as a platform to strengthen sustainable methods for working and living in new, interactive and collaborative business world. It identifies key characteristics and insights into the engagement behaviors of influencers and individuals, and how organizations can maximize reach and influence to execute on what we call the new Principals of Engagement in the Millennium.
Social business is dynamically changing the face of human interaction and communications globally. The emergence of new social behaviors and interrelationships between individuals, organizations, thought leaders and influencers are evolving in new and previously unforeseen ways primarily because of social media networks and peer groups.
A disruption is in the making, but this time, human behavior is the driver, not technology. People want and need to get the information they need at the time they desire it, especially from those they consider to be experts. We are returning to the “apple cart” of yesteryear. However, this time around we are armed with digital devices to extend our global ability to talk with the companies and people who inform our decisions.
This paradigm shift is a major communications innovation in all markets, which is radically changing the way people and organizations engage and behave online. There is also a strong link between social networking and what might be called “a new global anthropology” that is developing because of these new behaviors, interactions and interrelationships between cultures enabled through social business.
Over the past three years Vanessa DiMauro, Peter Auditore and myself, all Society for New Communications Research fellows, have embarked on a series of research studies to understand this new and evolving business platform and its impact on social communications and influence.
Answer these 5 questions as related to social media:
1) What the heck is it?
2) Is it a fad?
3) Why are some afraid of it?
4) Why do we often get it wrong?
5) How do we do it right?

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

2. The Media Life Perspective We live IN media not with it. There is no life outside of media. There is no way to make sense of yourself outside of media.
3. In the media life perspective, since we don’t have to worry about the distinction between biology and technology, we’re free to focus on determining what a good, responsible, beautiful media life looks like. – Mark Deuze
8. “Media are infrastructures with three components: the artifacts or devices used to communicate or convey information, the activities and practices in which people engage to communicate or share information, and the social arrangements or organizational forms that develop around those devices and practices.”
25. Participation gap The unequal access to opportunities, experiences, skills, and knowledge that prepares people for full participation in a media life.

36. Globalization is about -The interdependency of large corporations in different countries – outsourcing, etc. -The rise of the corporation and decline of the state - The increased exposure to other cultures – their language, news, traditions, fashion, media, etc.
40. Our bodies & the things we carry on them are technologies of surveillance
41. 4 types of media professionals Networkers (Project) Managers DIY'ers Creative Designers
42. digital nomads “mobility allows us to roam with our economic and social structure carried with us in tiny digital caravans. We’re seeing the enterprisation of our social lives, and the socialisation of our enterprises.” Dave Duarte (Tree Shaker), 2011 http://uninews.unimelb.edu.au/news/5750/
43. THE F-FACTOR “Consumers are increasingly tapping into their networks of friends, fans, and followers, to discover, discuss and purchase goods and services, in ever-more sophisticated ways.” trendwatching.com, 2011
52. The Economist Reading: The Rise of Lifestyle Media: Successful media companies will become “marketplaces that let consumers search, research, share and configure their media experiences.” To be good, these exchanges need to combine “a personalized media experience with a social context for participation.” Instead of “exclusive ownership of content or distribution assets” (the stuff of old media), the media marketplaces will compete in their “knowledge of consumer activity”, which they will use both to interact more intimately with consumers and to match them better to advertising that is unobtrusive and helpful (itself a novelty), and thus lucrative.”
53. The slides that follow contain questions from in-class reading comprehension exercises & discussion topics. Please study these and use them as a study guide. You may see similar questions on the exam.
54. Questions: In what ways do the lines between technologies and the body disappear when we think about media? How you think media shape our understanding of the world?
55. Reading Comprehension Question: From the Jenkins/Deuze reading, is convergence culture generally more of a centralizing or decentralizing force in the media industry? decentralizing
56. Discussion questions: Name five different “players” who actively participate in the convergence culture (today’s media industry) that Jenkins and Deuze describe.
57.
58. Networked Individualism Activity (For reading response credit): Take out a piece of paper. Write down short answers to the following questions and share them with a partner: You live away from your family right now. How do you connect with them and maintain your relationships with family members through new media? What is the funniest thing a family member of yours does through social media (texting, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, fantasy sports, Words with Friends, etc.) In what ways does the participation gap and/or gendered use of technologies play a role in the maintenance of those relationships? Do you think your family life is more or less fulfilling because of the way you use communication technologies to connect with one another? Why?
59. According to Florida, what is the difference between a “Creative City” and a “Nerdistan?” Nerdistans are bland, uninteresting places with acre upon acre of identical office complexes, row after row of asphalt parking lots, freeways clogged with cars, cookie-cutter housing developments, and strip-malls sprawling in every direction.
60. How does the creative class connect to the media life perspective? The key idea in a media life is that reality can be created by you as an individual (the reality of what work you do where and how you live your life, and the kind of person you are). Working in the creative class means life, work and play become indistinguishable. The creative class lives, works and plays in media. This notion is not new; what is new, is that we now see this as an individual’s responsibility instead of something we do together as a society.
61. The Economist Reading: “you get large by allowing the many and small to gather on your lawn.” Provide examples of companies who abide by this philosophy. Ebay, yahoo, google, facebook, wikipedia, etsy, youtube, digg, Reddit, etc.
62. Reading Comprehension Question: Is Google a media company? Why or why not? What do you think? Talk to your neighbor and write down what you think on a piece of paper.
63. In groups answer this question: In the Economist article the author talks about the difference in How Yahoo and Google choose content that appears on their site What are the differences and which approach do you think Works or will work better in the future. What are the advantages And disadvantages to each approach?
Editor's Notes
This is a frame of mind. You should make up your own mind. That’s what college is about. However, go with me for a while and let’s see where it takes us. Our lives are made up of conversation and communication.This conversation is hackable and remixable by anyone because of the technological world we live in today. That makes today’s world dynamic, unpredictable and permanently under construction.
The point of this course: I’m going to give it away at the beginning: Is to make you question what is real. Suppose we all have our own realities. Through media, we can plant an idea in someone else’s mind and that then becomes reality. Also, this class is about creating an ability to see that ideas have been planted in our minds already. The movie shows that suicide is not an answer. Suicide is a metaphor for unplugging. If we all of a sudden don’t know what’s real anymore and unplugg or disconnect we are committing suicide like Maul did. Another solution is to do what Cobb does, plant ideas for a while to make some money so that you can enjoy those things that have meaning for you. For him it was his kids. You try to live passionately for what you care about.
Whatever media are they share a couple of characteristics. No matter if it’s a new tv, smartphone out of the box, gaming system, etc.
We should not overestimate the impact that media have in our lives. Think about Egypt and the debate about whether or not social media ‘brought about’ revolution there and in other places in the middle east and Africa. Littleton Colorado shooting at columbine. Video games were blamed for the killers shooting people. In the Arizona shooting of congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, a book was blamed and heavy metal music.
What is more powerful? The technology? Do they make us do things? Or is it people? Don’t people ask for crappy TV? The media content that exists is because we create it. We build the technology. Both arguments are wrong. Because technology is us. This is abstract but technologies are remixes. Technologies are made by other machines today. Very few humans are involved in the making of technology anymore. Technology evolves just like nature does. It becomes more and more complex and more and more difficult to track its origins. Computer software comes out in versions. Windows XP, Vista, 7. iPhone OX 4, etc. Technologies evolve like we do. This debate should be off limits during the course of T101. It doesn’t make sense in the media life perspective.
Describe Middletown and Ball State study. The only thing really that has changed over time is that the gap between how much time we spend with media and how much we report spending is getting bigger. We don’t spend more time with media today than we did 50 years ago. What this means is that media are disappearing from our consciousness.

In a social gathering, at a party, people act in order to be photographed. Or they act in relation to a photo or news story or sports game they saw on tv. How did you know how to act they way you do in a classroom? We can’t do anything about this but we can do some fun things with it.

We love that Doritos brought back its UGC Super Bowl ad contest, and we love it even more that two unemployed brothers showed the ad world what’s what by creating a groin-achingly funny spot. Joe and Dave Herbert’s “Free Doritos” commercial not only won the brothers the Dorito’s contest (and a cool $1 million), nabbed the top spot on USA Today’s Ad Meter and was voted favorite ad by the YouTube and Hulu audiences, but according to a new survey released by comScore yesterday, Doritos enjoyed the biggest improvement in consumer perception among advertisers in Super Bowl.
Worldwide statistics. In T101 23% of the class are women. 7 out of 30 (as taken from the survey). This is not representative of larger population.
Women use social media to build a community. Men use it to share information. They want to seem like experts on something. Among twentysomethings, women and men are just as likely to be members of social networks. Facebook, MySpace, and Flixster are extraordinarily popular. But we found that young women are much more active on these sites than young men. And men above 30—especially married men—aren't even joining social networks. With the notable exceptions of LinkedIn users and venture capitalists in the Bay Area "friending" everyone on Facebook, married men are not hanging out on social networks. Married women, however, are joining social networks in droves. In fact, women between ages 35 and 50 are the fastest-growing segment, especially on MySpace.
We’re now individuals creating our identities instead of getting grouped into a larger demographic group and known through stereotypes. Actors have done this for centuries. In this media environment we do it too. [Truman Show] We are not the same at a frat party as we are at church. We are different when we play sports than we are when we meet our girl or boyfriend’s parents for the first time. In this media environment we’re the center of our own show b/c of social media.
GodessJaz (Feministing Blogger): Through using social media, or through a quick survey of the blogosphere, it’s apparent that our identities become more distinct online and if anything that distinction feels exaggerated, not invisible.Johanna Blakley: She’s wrong when she says, “Social media tools will help free from some of the absurd assumptions we have as a society about gender” “Social media will help dismantle some of the demeaning gender stereotypes we see in traditional media.” She may be right about, the fact that old (and big) media sees us in terms of our demographics. They see us as flocking in groups to different things so that they can identify us and send us messages about buying things.
social organization no longer fits the little-boxes model. Work, community and domesticity have moved from hierarchically arranged, densely knit, bounded groups (“little boxes”) to social networks

Globalization is about being connected to others, irrespective of one’s geographical location. In essence, globalization is the process by which market economies have more of a direct impact on each other, nations develop more of a reliance on one another for resources, individuals from around the world begin speaking the same language, and pollution in one country affects individuals half way around the world. Consequently, the world suddenly seems a lot smaller.When everyone’s connected do we have to worry about power inequities any more? Everyone is dependent on everyone else. Think of gas prices effected by whatever is going on in the Middle East. Globalization means that we are connected to
