Sex and Social Media: SXSW 2013 Proposalluxnightmare
This panel at SXSW Interactive 2013 will explore how technology and social media can help overcome stigma about sexuality, while also examining challenges of discussing sex online. Speakers include the executive director of a sexual health nonprofit that uses texting and apps, an adult entertainer who promotes her brand on Twitter and Tumblr, a writer and activist who hosted a web series on relationships, and the moderator who runs a sexuality blog. The panel will discuss how experts in sex education and adult entertainment have used social media to educate about sex despite censorship and differences between private sexuality online and public social media.
The document discusses the rise of networked individualism and its consequences. As societal forces weaken group boundaries and connectivity increases, people are building social networks rather than belonging to tightly bound groups. This has consequences for entrepreneurs, who now operate in a creative ecology where ideas are shared and feedback is important, and who must market in a social media environment where word of mouth and social networks are influential. The constant connectivity brought about by mobile devices and wireless technology is also changing how information flows and is accessed.
This document discusses new media which refers to mass communication delivered digitally using computer technology. It identifies common types of new media like social networking sites, email, forums and chat rooms. Statistics are provided on the total number of active social media users and time spent using devices. Potential negative impacts of excessive new media use are also examined, such as Facebook depression, cyberchondria, and nomophobia.
This document discusses the evolution of social media from early systems like ARPANET and BBSs to modern platforms like Facebook and Twitter. It also examines some of the ethical issues that have arisen regarding social media use, such as how public figures are held accountable for their posts and how personal and professional social media boundaries have become blurred. The document questions where users should draw the line on tailoring ads and shares based on search histories across platforms.
The history of social networks: how it all beganJailson Lima
The history of social networks began in the late 1960s and early 1970s with the development of early online services like CompuServe that allowed users to share information over dial-up connections. In the 1980s, services like America Online and Prodigy expanded access to the internet and allowed users to create virtual profiles. The first recognizable social networks then emerged in the 1990s with sites like GeoCities that let users create personal web pages and connect with others online. By the early 2000s, the rise of sites like Friendster, LinkedIn, and MySpace established the concept of social media that connected personal networks of friends, and in 2004 Facebook launched and grew to dominate the social networking landscape.
According to the document:
1. Twitter had nearly 75 million users as of January 2010, with about 50 million tweets sent per day, though only 20% of users are considered active.
2. Facebook had over 400 million active users as of 2010, with 50% logging on daily and 35 million updating their status. The average user has 130 friends and sends 8 friend requests per month.
3. YouTube accounted for nearly all (99%) of the 32.4 billion videos watched in the U.S. in January 2010, surpassing Yahoo as the 2nd largest search engine after Google.
Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn are popular social media and professional networking platforms. Facebook allows uploading photos and videos, status updates, and connecting with others. YouTube enables sharing videos and has over 800 million monthly users. Twitter is a microblogging site that allows short text messages (tweets) and has over 500 million tweets sent per day. Instagram is a photo and video sharing app that allows editing and organizing posts. LinkedIn is a professional networking site that enables creating profiles, connecting with colleagues, and posting jobs.
The document discusses how environmental organizations can use social media. It provides examples of how social media is used to promote missions, manage reputations, listen to audiences, react quickly, keep up with research, spread news and campaigns, raise support and awareness, and track supporter interests. It also discusses strategies for using social media, including choosing platforms, budgeting resources, and entrance/exit strategies. Popular social media in Vietnam include blogs, Facebook, Yahoo 360, and Baomoi mobile news.
Social media is defined as an interactive platform where users can create, share, and distribute content online. It aims to provide rich experiences and dynamic content at scale through open and collective intelligence. While social media and mass media both aim to reach large audiences, social media allows for faster information sharing and gives users a way to provide feedback. Individuals and organizations use social media for personal updates and branding, respectively. Common social media platforms include blogs, microblogs, collaborative projects, content communities, social networks, and virtual worlds.
The document discusses Send2mobile, a service that allows users to send multimedia content from a PC to a mobile device. It allows content to be stored on the user's dashboard for future access and sharing via SMS, web link, or social media. The service addresses challenges of inconsistent experiences across devices and discovery by allowing any device to receive optimized content and discover new content both online and offline. It aims to reach the large "unconnected" mobile audience in emerging markets by allowing push content delivery even to basic phones.

Elegant caucasians, amorous arabs, and invisibleAlida Sakinah
The document analyzes representations of foreigners in Japanese boys' love (BL) manga. It finds that the vast majority feature Caucasian or Arab characters as romantic partners of Japanese characters. Caucasians are often portrayed as elegant and socially successful, reinforcing Western imperialism. Arabs are depicted as amorous and wealthy, emphasizing money and eroticism. Both Caucasians and Arabs usually take the "seme" role of being sexually dominant over the Japanese "uke" partner. This reflects socio-cultural ideologies that position the West as strong/masculine and the Orient as weak/feminine. Representations of other races are often absent, invisible minorities.

The Reasons social media contributed to 2011 Egyptian RevolutionWaqas Tariq
In recent years, social media has become very significant for social networking. In the past, its main use was personal, but nowadays, its becoming part of all facets of our lives, social and political. In the first quarter of 2011, the Middle East has witnessed many popular uprisings that have yet to reach an end. While these uprisings have often been termed “Facebook Revolutions” or “Twitter Revolutions”, there are many ambiguities as to the extent to which social media affected these movements. In this paper we discuss the role of social media and its impact on the 2011 Egyptian revolution. Though the reasons for the uprising were manifold, we will focus on how social media facilitated and accelerated the movement.
The document provides an overview of social media and theoretical perspectives on social media. It discusses functionalist, conflict, and interactionist perspectives.

China's social media and mobile providers set to shake the tech world v3Intelligencia Limited
The days of China simply being a country that copies, pirates and counterfeits American and European technology is coming to end. Platforms like social and mobile are at the forefront of China’s current technological revolution. We are truly living in an interconnected world and this interconnectedness is creating a whole host of ways to market a product and/or a service. Chinese blogs, micro-blogs, content communities, social networking sites, virtual game worlds, and virtual social worlds are leading this new technological revolution. Companies like WeChat, QQ, Weibo, Hexun, Youku, Jiepang, Qieke, Ushi, Taobao and Ku6 are all experiencing exponential growth. In China, the competition for consumers is incredibly fierce, especially in the social media space and this competition, however, does have a dark side: many companies regularly employ ‘artificial writers’ to seed positive content about themselves online and attack competitors with negative news they hope will go viral.
This document discusses navigating the changing social media landscape and the opportunities it presents for engagement. It notes that the information environment is now global, continuous and allows unlimited access to constant news updates. In contrast, traditional media engagement is constrained and slow. Younger generations now get most of their information from the internet and social media is growing rapidly, with sites like Facebook and LinkedIn having hundreds of millions of active users. The audience is now better able to drive the agenda and issues discussed. The document encourages the Air Force to engage in transparent peer-to-peer dialogue through social media to foster open communication.
This document discusses the role of social media in the 2011 Egyptian revolution. It argues that while there were many underlying reasons for the uprising, including political and economic grievances, social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube helped facilitate and accelerate the movement. Facebook was used to schedule protests and coordinate activities. Twitter was used to organize and communicate in real-time. YouTube was used to share videos and spread information about the protests worldwide. Overall, the document examines how the rise of social media in Egypt empowered young protesters to organize mass demonstrations that ultimately led to the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak after 30 years in power.

Social media are media for social interaction which means that instead of merely receiving information, people can also share their thoughts, opinion, and even give new information. Because of the practice of this kind of activities, social media allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content. From the point of view of businesses, social media can be called consumer-generated media. In order to facilitate the interactive activity, web-based and mobile technologies are used as it is inexpensive and accessible to enable anyone to publish or access information.
Social media can take on many different forms, including Internet forums , weblogs , social blogs , microblogging , wikis , podcasts , photographs or pictures, video , rating and social bookmarking .
Time magazine acknowledged growing level of influence in its 2010 Time 100 most influential people. To determine the influence of people it used a formula based on famous social networking sites, Twitter and Facebook. The list ranges from Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey to Lady Gaga and Ashton Kutcher . This shows how major the role of Twitter and facebook are in social media. Let’s take a closer look.
Twitter is a website, owned and operated by Twitter Inc., which offers a social networking and microblogging service, enabling its users to send and read messages called tweets . Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the user's profile page. Twitter was launched in July 2006 . Since then Twitter has gained popularity worldwide and is estimated to have 200 million users, generating 200 million tweets a day . The top 5 Global Markets by reach are Indonesia, Brazil, Venezuela, Netherlands, and Japan. Twitter has been used for a variety of purposes in many different industries and scenarios. From simply for communication between individuals or among groups/organization, organizing protests ( which include the 2011 Egyptian protests , 2010–2011 Tunisian protests , 2009–2010 Iranian election protests , and 2009 Moldova civil unrest ), emergencies, political campaign, to business marketing/advertising. San Antonio -based market-research firm Pear Analytics analyzed 2,000 tweets (originating from the US and in English) over a two-week period in August 2009 from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM (CST) and separated them into six categories: [57] Pointless babble – 40% Conversational – 38% Pass-along value – 9% Self-promotion – 6% Spam – 4% News – 4%
Users can create profiles with photos, lists of personal interests, contact information, and other personal information. Users can communicate with friends and other users through private or public messages and a chat feature. They can also create and join interest groups and "like pages" (called "fan pages" until April 19, 2010), some of which are maintained by organizations as a means of advertising. Facebook was launched in February 2004. In April 2010, according to The New York Times , countries with the most Facebook users were the United States, the United Kingdom, and Indonesia . [134] Indonesia has become the country with the second largest number of Facebook users, after the United States, with 24 million users, or 10% of Indonesia's population. However, Facebook's market growth started to stall in some regions, with the site losing 7 million active users in the United States and Canada in May 2011 . Facebook has affected the social life and activity of people in various ways. It can reunite lost family members and friends. One such reunion was between John Watson and the daughter he had been searching for 20 years. They met after Watson found her facebook profile. [150] Another father-daughter reunion was between Tony Macnauton and Frances Simpson, who had not seen each other for nearly 48 years. Some studies have named Facebook as a source of problems in relationships. Several news stories have suggested that using Facebook causes divorce and infidelity , but the claims have been questioned and refuted by other commentators. Facebook's role in the American political process was demonstrated in January 2008, shortly before the New Hampshire primary , when Facebook teamed up with ABC and Saint Anselm College to allow users to give live feedback about the "back to back" January 5 Republican and Democratic debates. [154] [155] [156] Charles Gibson moderated both debates, held at the Dana Center for the Humanities at Saint Anselm College . Facebook users took part in debate groups organized around specific topics, register to vote, and message questions. [157] Over 1,000,000 people installed the Facebook application 'US politics' in order to take part, and the application measured users' responses to specific comments made by the debating candidates. [158] This debate showed the broader community what many young students had already experienced: Facebook was an extremely popular and powerful new way to interact and voice opinions. It has been blocked intermittently in several countries including the People's Republic of China , [139] Vietnam , [140] Iran , [141] Uzbekistan , [142] Pakistan , [143] Syria , [144] and Bangladesh on different bases. For example, it was banned in many countries of the world on the basis of allowed content judged as anti-Islamic and containing religious discrimination.
Specialists say that while Facebook users in the United States tend to recreate real-life social relationships online, many Japanese use Web anonymity to express themselves, free from the pressures to fit into a conformist workplace. The Japanese sites let members mask their identities, in distinct contrast to the real-name, oversharing hypothetical user on which Facebook’s business model is based. Japanese Web users, even popular bloggers, typically hide behind pseudonyms or nicknames. In a 2010 survey by Microsoft of social network use among 3,000 people in 11 Asia-Pacific countries and regions, respondents on average said that only about one-quarter of their friends on social networking sites were close friends. In Japan, more than half of all respondents said that not one of their acquaintances on social networks was a close friend. Still, Facebook may have a powerful force on its side: Japanese consumers’ penchant for all things new. I n India, after struggling for years, Facebook has become dominant thanks to exchange students and other returning travelers who got hooked to the site overseas, and the same thing might happen in Japan.
Immediacy Through social media, the time lag between events/occurence with the information flow can be minimized significantly. for ex, japan’s earthquake. Social media allows people to comment and edit the content of information. Therefore, if there’s any misinformation, it can be clarified quickly. S ocial media are by their very nature more decentralized, less hierarchical, and distinguished by multiple points of production and utility so that anyone can access it. Of course using social media requires much lower cost than industrial media especially when we want to publish information. This makes social media very appealing for business marketing, political campaign, humanity campaign, or even self-promotion.
Lady Gaga is one example of social media success. A billion views on Youtube, 30 million likes on Facebook, and even became the Queen of Twitter. Her record label has been hiring ThinkTank Digital in 2008 to take care of her social media and online marketing strategies. To create some early buzz, they started with music bloggers. They provided interesting material for the bloggers such as interviews, photos, and video clips. The early focus for her social media brand was also on Myspace as in 2008 the site was still neck and neck with Facebook for social dominance . Not until 2009 do they began shifting more of their efforts toward Facebook and Twitter. The key point of the success is how promotion and authenticity are balanced. She took great pride in engaging directly with her fans across every medium available to her . Still, content is king, Lady Gaga is unique and awesome to begin with. In the course of the 2008 US election cycle, candidates used the web and social media tools to connect to their followers and organize campaigns. Clearly, Obama is the first candidate to successfully use the Internet and social media to get his message out. Nearly 500million blog postigns mentioned him, over 800,000 MySpace friends, and over 100,000 followers on twitter. What Obama did so successfully is that he went to where his supporter base was. He could no longer afford to meet with everyone at their kitchen tables, but he could friend them on Facebook or follow them on Twitter. He could connect with specific ethnic groups through MiGente (Latinos), BlackPlanet (African-Americans), Glee ("gay, lesbian and everyone else") and others . Further, he used sites like Flickr and YouTube to distribute his "message of hope." He encouraged supporters to create their own content and that idea, and those images and videos, went viral. So how does social media help in a crisis like the earthquake in Japan? Victims After the Haiti earthquake in 2010, US Google developers created Person Finder for families looking to discover the health and whereabouts of loved ones. Person Finder was then adapted for the victims of the New Zealand earthquake and now for those victims affected in Japan. At last count, Person Finder contains 306,600 names, a staggering reminder of how one website can be so influential in victims' lives. News Outlets In Japan, as traditional modes of communication like telephone lines were lost almost immediately after the earthquake struck – social media channels buoyed. Only an hour after the earthquake, tweets coming out of Tokyo reached 1,200 a minute, according to Mashable . Just a few hours after, and hashtags like #prayforJapan, #earthquake and #tsunami were being tweeted thousands of times per second . Relief Aid With such a large scale disaster, getting charitable donations and relief aid to affected areas is critical – and with the aid of websites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube raising awareness with various messages, groups and blogs, the opportunities to raise significant funds are increased. Similarly, social media can make donations that much easier : there really are plenty of available channels (games, sms, etc) that were unavailable only as recently as 2005.
As the platform of social media does not require its users to have certain skills or training, anyone with access can operate the means of social media production. The nature of social media which allows people to comment and edit the information floating around might lead to the creation of wrong information. This can be unintentionally but can also be intentionally. Certain parties might do it to take advantages. Also, people can pass information in social media around freely. This makes scandalous news spread in no time even though it’s not necessarily proven to be true. There has always been a huge debate on the ownership of the content on social media platforms since it is generated by the users and hosted by the company. Critics contend that the companies are making huge amount of money by using the content that does not belong to them. Social media have also become likely places for identity theft and fraud. As user have to provide certain information such as your e-mail address, name, and location, others use these information and pretend to be the user , especially when they are into illegal activities. A study by the University of Maryland suggested that social media services may be addictive,and that users of social media services leads to a "fear of missing out". According to Nielsen, global consumers spend more than 6 hours on social networking sites . And as the impact of rapid technology development, people can access the sites through mobile devices , increasing the duration. Facebook even has also been banned at many workplaces to prevent employees wasting their time on the site.
Social media expert Chris Brogan does not believe traditional media will go away but sees social and traditional media will work together in the future. Chris says traditional media is failing because it is not reaching the same audience that it used to reach. Instead, social media is reaching that mass audience. So, what impact does this have on publishers? According to Chris, content producers need to target their content. He suggests making the content addressable because people want to be able to interact on a personal level. Mass Media also can take advantage of social media as resource in getting information, but of course they have to know how to filter it
