Instead of traditional ways of doing online research, we might want to look for something new. Using "social media", we can use the online conversation stream to find what we're looking for.
Just What Is Social in Social Media? An Actor-Network Critique of Twitter Age...Jeffrey Keefer
These are the slides I presented at the #SMSociety15 conference https://smsociety15.sched.org/event/84f2409561cd92c5cc1fc5b8b01558f9
While social media includes the applications that support the creation and exchange of user generated and participatory content (Kaplan & Haenlein, 2010), the focus is commonly on the presentation or actions of users, the networks created on the platforms, and what we can do to promote our various WIIFMs (What’s In It For Me). It is less studied from the perspective of the networks themselves, especially through the influence and role of the non-human elements. Through this inverted perspective much may be learned, especially involving simple assumptions about the role of agency, namely the power to act (Latour, 2013). It is this social aspect of social media where actor-network theory can be most usefully employed, as the agency of things themselves may frequently be overlooked (Adams & Thompson, 2011) when rushing to understand the black box of assumptions present in social media research and practice.
Social Media Analysis: Present and Futurematthewhurst
Current social media analysis separates content and structure analysis, missing opportunities. A unified theory is needed to better analyze social media data by considering both content and structure together. While current applications focus on marketing, a broader business intelligence approach could expand the field. Developing richer models of business domains and processes would increase the actionability and market for social media analysis tools.

David Nicholas, Ciber: Audience Analysis and Modelling, the case of CIBER and...michellep
The document discusses CIBER's work using deep log analysis (DLA) to understand user behavior in digital environments. DLA transforms digital activity data into information on user satisfaction, impacts, and outcomes. Findings from DLA are used to inform system changes. Benefits of DLA include its ability to analyze massive amounts of direct and real-time user activity data without sampling. CIBER has used DLA in various research projects analyzing digital behavior in fields like health, publishing, and education.
This document discusses the challenges of using social media as both the object and instrument of research. It notes that social media research aims both to study social media as a phenomenon and to gain empirical insights into social life through social media data. However, distinguishing these aims can be difficult. The document then examines what constitutes the "social" in social media, noting that this depends on platform features, user-generated content, context, social metadata, methods, and combinations of these factors. It argues that the social cannot be taken as a given, but must be empirically detected. The document concludes that social media research requires flexible, adjustable methods that can align different components like platform, data, measures and context to address specific research questions.
3340 Digital Story Telling October 7 2008Neil Foote
This document discusses digital storytelling tools and the importance of interaction and involvement in digital media. It highlights that digital media allows for a multidirectional flow of information, enhancing learning. Traditional storytelling focuses on text and photos with periodic updates, while digital media allows for immediacy, non-linear presentations, and richer content. The five "I"s of digital storytelling are identified as interactivity, involvement, immediacy, integration, and in-depth. Strategic uses of interactivity by news organizations are also described.

Combining professional and citizen contributions can help attract new audiences and encourage participation.
What Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and digital methods can do for data journalis...Liliana Bounegru
Slides from a talk I gave at the University of Ghent on 21 October 2014 about how Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and digital methods can be used to study and inform data journalism.
Analyzing social media may be a daunting task, given its overwhelming size and messy, unstructured nature. Further, for those new to analyzing social behavior in online systems, there are any number of pitfalls that make it challenging to find the meaning in the mess. The goal of this session is to provide practical tips for collecting and analyzing social media data.
Picturing the Social: Talk for Transforming Digital Methods Winter SchoolFarida Vis
This talk highlights the work of the Visual Social Media Lab and the Picturing the Social project. It summarises the key research questions and aims of the project. It highlights the value of interdisciplinarity and working closely with industry in this area. It also focuses on the way in which me might study different types of structures involved in the circulation and the scopic regimes that make social media images more or less visible. It also tries to unpack how we can start to think about APIs as 'method' and looks at the different ways in which we can get access to different kinds of social media image data. Both through public ('free') APIs and ('pay for') firehose data.
Social Network Theory is the study of how people, organizations or groups interact with others inside their network understanding the easier when you examine the individual pieces starting with the largest element, when is networks, and working down to the smallest elements, which is the actors. The idea of social network and the notions of sociograms appeared over 50years ago Barnes (1954) is credited with coining the notion of social network, an outflow of his study of a Norwegian island parish in the early 1950s
The document summarizes the Cambridge Analytica breach and its lasting impact.

Echo Chamber? What Echo Chamber? Reviewing the EvidenceAxel Bruns
This document summarizes a study examining evidence for echo chambers and filter bubbles on Twitter in Australia. The study analyzed follower connections and engagement patterns between Twitter accounts with over 1,000 followers. It found limited evidence of highly exclusionary echo chambers or filter bubbles, except for some specialist clusters. Most accounts had more external than internal connections or balanced engagement. Retweets generally spread information more externally than @mentions. The study has limitations but provides little support for strong exclusionary information silos within the Australian Twittersphere.
How information spreads on social networks when unexpected events occurFarida Vis
When unexpected events occur, information spreads on social networks through social dynamics. Trigger events that elicit an emotional response prompt users to share content. This impulse is validated when the content is seen as relevant to one's social circles and if others have already shared it, escalating its spread. However, during crises, misinformation also spreads rapidly online through images shared by locals and wider audiences, with the most visible information not always being the most valuable. It is important to examine less prominent sources to find useful information.
Personal Digital Archiving 2011 - Charting Collections of Connections in Soci...Marc Smith
This document discusses mapping and measuring social media networks to identify important positions and structures. It introduces Marc Smith and the NodeXL tool for network analysis and visualization. The Social Media Research Foundation aims to create an open archive of social media network data and tools to study these networks.
This document summarizes Farida Vis's use of social media to engage audiences for an academic conference on visual social media. It describes her strategy for promoting the conference months in advance on multiple social media platforms and tracking engagement. It also outlines her plan for sharing and curating content from the conference online in the following weeks to maximize engagement and create an archive.
Social software refers to software that enables collaboration and connection through computer-mediated communication. Examples include social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook, as well as sites for sharing videos, photos, presentations and online diaries. While social software started gaining popularity in 2006, concerns were raised about issues like online predators, explicit content and risks to privacy. However, social networking also has benefits for connecting with others and accessing knowledge. The growth of sites like Facebook and MySpace shows that social networking continues to increase in popularity and influence.
This document summarizes a critique of big data presented by Prof. Dr. Richard Rogers. The critique outlines 5 points: 1) A reputational shift to large infrastructures over other analysis modes, 2) A shift from interpretation to pattern recognition, 3) A shift in analytical commitments to visualizations, 4) A shift to relying on small data science teams, 5) A shift to relying on available signals rather than seeking unavailable ones. The document also discusses examples of big data hype declining and issues with tools like Google Flu Trends vastly overestimating influenza rates.
Journalists today are faced with an overwhelming abundance of data – from large collections of leaked documents, to public databases about lobbying or government spending, to ‘big data’ from social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. To stay relevant to society journalists are learning to process this data and separate signal from noise in order to provide valuable insights to their readers. This talk will address questions like: What is the potential of data journalism? Why is it relevant to society? And how can you get started?

Here are some key aspects of negotiations that I feel I do well:
- Preparation - I take the time to understand all aspects of the negotiation from my perspective and try to understand the other side's perspective as well. Thorough preparation helps negotiations go more smoothly.
- Active listening - I make an effort to truly understand the other side's interests, priorities, and constraints. Active listening helps build rapport and find mutually agreeable solutions.
- Flexibility - I'm willing to consider different options and compromise when reasonable to reach an agreement. Rigidity often hinders negotiations.
- Relationship building - I try to maintain a respectful, cooperative tone and focus on interests rather than positions. Building trust makes negotiations more productive

This document summarizes key concepts about plant structure, reproduction, development, and control systems from chapters 31 and 33:
1) Plants are divided into two main groups - gymnosperms which bear seeds in cones, and angiosperms or flowering plants which are the most diverse and bear seeds in flowers. Angiosperms are further divided into monocots and dicots which have structural differences.
2) Plant organs consist of specialized tissues and cell types that carry out functions like photosynthesis, transport, and support. Hormones like auxin, cytokinin, gibberellin, ethylene and ABA regulate growth, development, and response to the environment.
3) Primary and secondary
Yahweh is the personal name of God that was given to Moses. It occurs over 6,800 times in the Bible but is translated as "LORD" since Jews began saying "Lord" instead of Yahweh out of reverence. A mistranslation led to the name Jehovah. God revealed himself to Moses as "I AM" - the eternal, self-existent one. Yah is a shorter form of Yahweh used in names and phrases like Hallelujah which means "Praise Yah."

God reveals himself to Moses at the burning bush and commissions him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses objects that he is unworthy and unable, but God reassures him that he will be with Moses and empower him. God promises to send Moses to Pharaoh to demand that the Israelites be freed and brought to a land of milk and honey.
The Disruption Briefing (TLC) - Jan 2010Steve Sponder
1. The document discusses how disruption from new technologies is often not recognized until after widespread adoption. It provides examples of how the telephone, television, and internet were initially dismissed but later caused major disruptions.
2. Social media has become a major disruption driver by allowing people to easily share their views and experiences about brands in real-time. This has tipped power from brands to consumers.
3. In this new transparent world where views are shared online, brands must change their approach to engage or risk losing relevance in conversations about their products and services.
The document discusses plant hormones and their functions. It describes the five major types of plant hormones - auxin, cytokinin, gibberellin, abscisic acid, and ethylene - and explains what processes each regulates, such as auxin stimulating cell elongation and fruit ripening being triggered by ethylene.

Researching Social Media – Big Data and Social Media AnalysisFarida Vis
Researching Social Media – Big Data and Social Media Analysis, presentation for the Social Media for Researchers: A Sheffield Universities Social Media Symposium, 23 September 2014
The document discusses social discovery in an information abundant world. It describes how social discovery through social media and collaboration is exceeding traditional solitary search. Key points discussed include how social referral and collaboration are becoming more important than individual searching, how challenges can generate powerful collaboration, and how discovery is shifting to include app discovery and mobile search.
Web Futures: Inclusive, Intelligent, SustainableSteffen Staab
Almost from its very beginning, the Web has been ambivalent.
It has facilitated freedom for information, but this also included the freedom to spread misinformation. It has faciliated intelligent personalization, but at the cost of intrusion into our private lifes. It has included more people than any other system before, but at the risk of exploiting them.
The Web is full of such ambivalences and the usage of artificial intelligences threatens to further amplify these ambivalences. To further the good and to contain the negative consequences, we need a research agenda studying and engineering the Web, as well as numerous activities by societies at large. In this talk, I will present and discuss a joint effort by an interdisciplinary team of Web Scientists to prepare and pursue such an agenda.
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.
The document discusses three potential divides that may emerge in big data research: 1) between developed and developing countries, 2) between academic and commercial sector researchers, and 3) between researchers with strong computational skills versus those with less computational skills. It provides examples of methods used in different country/region contexts and notes a critique of big data research around issues like changing definitions of knowledge, misleading claims of objectivity/accuracy, and new digital divides around data access.
This document describes a new research methodology called DigiVidualsTM that uses programmed research robots to search social media for content representing a target group or segment. The robots curate this content into "lifeboards" and "day-in-the-life videos" to provide a rich understanding of people's attitudes, passions and behaviors. Two case studies are cited as examples of how DigiViduals can generate insights. The document then provides details on how the research robots are programmed and how they search social media to build profiles of target audiences.
Success in Social Media - Bath Event Nov09Julie Hawker
The document discusses using social media for success in nonprofit organizations. It provides an overview of various social media platforms like blogs, forums, social networks, Twitter, photo and video sharing, and podcasting. It emphasizes that social media allows organizations to engage stakeholders, promote causes, and raise awareness more widely. The document also offers advice on developing strategies, getting help with social media, and which tools may be best for different organizations.
1) The document discusses how algorithms analyze digital activity to shape attitudes, behaviors, and identities through "digital mirrors" that reflect back analyses of people's online behaviors.
2) It notes a concern that social media like Facebook could force young people into premature identity struggles by exposing political or sexual orientation views.
3) The document presents the idea of using social media data to predict users' strongest interests and suggest career paths or fields of study, rather than pressuring identity searches.

Synergizing Natural and Research CommunitiesTom De Ruyck
Research panels are facing declining response rates and decreased motivation for participation. As an alternative, researchers are exploring the use of social media as it provides a new stream of freely available consumer information through methods like social media netnography. However, user-generated social media content should be treated with caution, learning from mistakes of the past. The document discusses creating a "win-win-win" situation for researchers, clients, and research participants by combining social media netnography with online research communities in a respectful, ethical manner.
Synergizing natural and research communities: Caring about the research ecosy...InSites Consulting
Research panels are under pressure due to declining response rates to traditional surveys. Researchers need alternatives to learn about consumer attitudes and behavior. This document discusses using social media netnography and online research communities as alternatives. It proposes a connected research philosophy to create a win-win-win for the research agency, client, and consumer. It details a research design combining social media analysis, an online community recruited from a relevant social media site, and a consumer survey about social media research. The results found value for the client in unexpected insights and understanding consumer language.
The document summarizes the key points from "The Horizon Report" which charts emerging technologies for teaching, learning, and creative expression. It identifies four technology areas that will impact education over the next 1-5 years: grassroots video, collaboration webs, mobile broadband, and data mashups. It also discusses two areas with impact in the next 5 years: collective intelligence and social operating systems. Examples are provided to illustrate how each technology could be applied to enhance teaching and learning.
'Drinking from the fire hose? The pitfalls and potential of Big Data'.Josh Cowls
1) The document discusses the challenges and opportunities of analyzing large datasets known as "Big Data" from a social science perspective.
2) It defines Big Data and explores how the approach could undermine traditional research methods but also presents new opportunities.
3) The key to effectively studying Big Data is developing a strong understanding of the data, collaborating across disciplines, and using mixed quantitative and qualitative methods to provide context and identify meaningful relationships for further study.
The document discusses how social media content from Twitter can be used to predict real-world outcomes. Specifically, it examines using tweets about movies to forecast box office revenues. The study shows that a simple model based on the rate tweets are created about movies can outperform market-based predictors for forecasting revenues. Sentiment analysis of tweets is also explored as a way to further improve predictions, especially after movies are released.

Hoe werken mensen samen, waarom doen mensen dingen samen en hoe komt het eigenlijk dat we tot gezamenlijke acties komen?
We zijn allemaal individuen, maar toch zien we dat er subculturen ontstaan en dat we dingen van elkaar over nemen, hoe zit dat? En online?

Internet and Journalism: New sources bring new opportunitiesGyurka Jansen
1) New internet sources are bringing new opportunities and questions to the field of journalism, such as what journalism is and how these new sources can be used.
2) Journalism should aim to inform readers by explaining and making sense of information, rather than just reporting facts. It is impossible to be completely objective but journalists should strive for honesty and modesty.
3) Online forums, blogs, social media, and aggregated data from websites are valuable new sources that journalists should explore, both to stay connected to societal discussions and opinions and to find new trends or support traditional articles.
The document outlines a five step model for social media success: 1) Have knowledge of the product/service, internet, and social media to effectively communicate. 2) Be passionate about your message and engage your audience. 3) Be real, truthful, and patient as it takes time to build an online network. 4) Give value to others before asking for anything in return to cultivate goodwill. 5) Continually provide new, original content to stand out and attract an audience.
The document outlines a 5-step model for success on social media: 1) having knowledge of both the product/service and how social media works, 2) having passion for both the medium and the message, 3) investing time to build networks and patience for results, 4) providing original, new content to engage visitors, and 5) adapting to the changing online environment. Real innovation cannot be forced and different approaches can work, while passion is key.

4. Enter Social Media All the conversation you need is out there Photo: Public Domain/Wikimedia Commons
5. Research on the conversations People are on the internet, talking about you, me, shoes, television, cars and the internet itself. We don’t need a clipboard and ask, we can see their opinions. And instead of us taking notes, the traces are there all around you to observe. The conversations are there; hiding the opinions of people and new trends in business and politics.
6. Research on the conversations Digital representation online makes this formerly qualitative way of information gathering into a quantitative way of doing research; directly analyzing the data you are presented with! A unique opportunity to add to and shift from survey design to more and truly use the power of the internet.

8. … and my clients won’t either They’re not asking for this CC Photo: “Juno”
9. Research on the conversations Gives you rich, potentially continuous research data of more and more people. People who are already engaged, passionate, enthusiastic and won’t feel bothered. (If you do it right.)
10. The Challenge Set up a research practice that can harness the power of using the online conversation. Deploy a study in the field and share it’s results. There is demand, but shift it’s focus! The demand is for knowledge, not for survey date. You are a researcher; you provide the knowledge; be it your intuition, works of scholars, survey data… or social media data.
