Semantic web approach towards interoperability and privacy issues in social n...ijwscjournal
The Social Web is a set of social relations that link people through World Wide Web. This Social Web
encompasses how the websites and software are designed and developed to support social relations. The
new paradigms, tools and web services introduced by Social Web are widely accepted by internet users.
The main drawbacks of these tools are it acts as independent data silos; hence interoperability among
applications is a complex issue. This paper focuses on this issue and how best we can use semantic web
technologies to achieve interoperability among applications.

Social media is the use of electronic and internet tools to share and discuss information with online communities. Some positive effects of social media include establishing connections with people, sharing ideas and creativity, and accessing information from anywhere in the world. However, social media can also be addictive and negatively impact students' academic performance. It also opens users up to hackers, fraud, and health issues from overuse. Popular social media tools include WhatsApp, Twitter, Google+, and LinkedIn. Users must be aware of threats like social networking worms, phishing, trojans, data leaks, and shortened malicious links on social media. Parents and users should work to prevent these threats through safety precautions like privacy settings and not sharing personal information
The document discusses several popular social media platforms, including Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Twitter. It provides background on each platform such as founders, usage statistics, and key features. Facebook allows users to share content and has over 2 billion monthly users. WhatsApp is a cross-platform messaging service with over 1 billion users that allows sharing of text, images, and videos.

It then discusses how to organize information from these sources, describing the "old school" method of using a web browser to search for information as time-consuming versus the "new school" method of using a news aggregator to automatically collect news feeds and read them later on a mobile device. News aggregators like RSS readers and apps like Flipboard and Google Currents allow users to easily access updates from multiple sources in one place.
On the last day of CSWE’s Annual Program Meeting at 10:00 AM in the Dallas Ballroom A-2, Nancy J. Smyth, Melanie Sage, Jonathan Singer, and I are presenting about how social work educators can use technology for career-long learning. Nancy, Melanie and I introduced the idea of professional learning networks (PLN) to a packed room at Social Work Distance Education Conference in April, and wanted to bring the practice to the #APM17 crowd. A PLN incorporates technology-based tools and processes in a way that allows individuals to stay up-to-date and share information about current news, practice knowledge and current research findings. We will be talking about the mechanics, advantages and disadvantages of establishing a PLN. One resources we will be sharing is our Professional Learning Network (PLN) Worksheet, which takes a social worker through the steps of creating their own PLN.

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.
Social media? Get serious! Understanding the functional building blocks of so...Ian McCarthy
Traditionally, consumers used the Internet to simply expend content: they read it, they watched it, and they used it to buy products and services. Increasingly, however, consumers are utilizing platforms –— such as content sharing sites, blogs,
social networking, and wikis–—to create, modify, share, and discuss Internet content. This represents the social media phenomenon, which can now significantly impact a firm’s reputation, sales, and even survival. Yet, many executives eschew or ignore this form of media because they don’t understand what it is, the various forms it can take, and how to engage with it and learn. In response, we present a framework that defines
social media by using seven functional building blocks: identity, conversations, sharing, presence, relationships, reputation, and groups. As different social media activities are defined by the extent to which they focus on some or all of these blocks,
we explain the implications that each block can have for how firms should engage with social media. To conclude, we present a number of recommendations regarding how firms should develop strategies for monitoring, understanding, and responding to different social media activities.
The document discusses social media, including its definition, history, popular platforms, and effects on youth. It provides statistics on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and WhatsApp. Both positive and negative effects are outlined. Positives include connecting with others and sharing information, while negatives include technology overuse, distraction from schoolwork, and risks like cyberbullying. The document concludes by emphasizing the need for internet safety education for youth.
The document is a project report on social media submitted for a master's degree. It includes an introduction, acknowledgements, declaration, table of contents, and sections on defining social media, its history beginning with Six Degrees in 1997, why it is used, features of social networking sites, popular founders and sites like Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Skype, important statistics, advantages and disadvantages of social media use.

SEMANTIC WEB APPROACH TOWARDS INTEROPERABILITY AND PRIVACY ISSUES IN SOCIAL N...ijwscjournal
The Social Web is a set of social relations that link people through World Wide Web. This Social Web encompasses how the websites and software are designed and developed to support social relations. The new paradigms, tools and web services introduced by Social Web are widely accepted by internet users. The main drawbacks of these tools are it acts as independent data silos; hence interoperability among applications is a complex issue. This paper focuses on this issue and how best we can use semantic web technologies to achieve interoperability among applications.
This document provides an introduction to a seminar report on the impact of social media on youth. It defines key terms like media and social media. It outlines some of the major social media tools used today like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Reddit, and Pinterest. It also notes that youth have increasingly adopted social media and shifted from traditional media. However, social media also poses some issues that the report will explore in regards to its influence on youth.
1) Social networking has implications for youth, both positive and negative. While it allows constant connection, it also enables creating virtual identities and spreading of misinformation.
2) Youth are heavily engaged with social media and new technologies. Over 90% of youth are active internet users and own smartphones, spending over 7 hours per day consuming media.
3) New media enables many-to-many communication through user interactivity and participation. However, it also allows personal information to be data mined and archived without consent, including by espionage groups.

INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES ON PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIVES OF PE...IAEME Publication
The project “Influence of Social Networking Sites on personal and professional lives of people” mainly focuses on the impact of these sites on the people and the disturbance it causes to their lives in both personal and professional. The social networking sites are gaining a lot of popularity these days with almost all of the educated youth using one or the other such site. In this age of globalization, the world has become too small a place thanks to the electronic media and portals. These have played a crucial role in bridging boundaries and crossing the seas and enabling them to communicate on a common platform.
Effects of Social Media on Young AdultsRatan Rajpal
The document discusses the effects of social media on young adults. It notes that while social media allows people to easily connect with others, it may also negatively impact real-life interactions and communication. Some disadvantages include reduced face-to-face interactions, increased online bullying, and the prioritization of online popularity over real-world connections. The document also examines how social media influences business communication and trends in social networking sites.
This document discusses social media and electronic media. It defines social media as interactions between people online through communities and networks where they share and exchange information. Some early examples of social media included Geocities. There are different types of social media technologies including blogs, social networks, photos, videos, and reviews. Social media is also used on mobile devices, called mobile social media. The document also defines electronic media as media accessed through electronic or electromechanical devices like TVs, computers, phones. Electronic media can be in analog or digital formats.
Social media addiction is a growing issue, as people spend increasing amounts of time engaged with social media platforms. The document proposes a software solution that limits users' access to social media and posts their time spent offline on social media profiles, to encourage others toward de-addiction in a competitive manner. The solution aims to help users utilize their time more efficiently rather than wasting it on excessive social media use. It could help address issues like decreased focus on important tasks from overuse of social platforms.

The document discusses analyzing social media traffic and visitor behavior on the National Geographic website using their web analytics tool, Omniture SiteCatalyst. It describes how they categorized social media referrers into meaningful groups like social news sites, social networking, social media sharing, and social bookmarking. Analysis of the data showed that while social media drives a lot of traffic, visitors from these sites tend to be less engaged than average visitors and account for a small portion of total page views and conversions. However, content that gets shared on social media can have a multiplier effect by reaching new audiences.
This document discusses trends in consumer technology and how they are driven by time. The key trends are mobility, with the rise of smartphones and e-readers; greater connection through social networks that allow constant sharing; and a movement toward video and audio formats for learning and entertainment. These trends are driven by society's desire to maximize time by multitasking and accessing information instantly from any location. While religious groups also engage with technology, most Christians still prefer print Bibles, though electronic Bible usage is rising through phones and e-readers.
Social media has grown tremendously and now has over 3 billion users worldwide. It started as a way for people to connect with friends and family but is now widely used by businesses to reach customers. The top social media platforms are Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Instagram. Social media allows sharing of ideas and experiences through building online communities and networks. It has benefits but also risks like privacy issues, fraud and cyberbullying. The COVID-19 pandemic further increased social media usage globally.
Social media are websites where people interact freely by sharing information about themselves through words, pictures, videos, and audio. Popular social media sites include Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, and Snapchat. Social media allow people to connect with others, share content and media, and engage in conversations. Different types of social media include online social networks, bookmarking sites, social news sites, and media sharing sites.
the evolution of the social media by a uni studentbiyojol416
The document traces the evolution of social media from its origins in the 1990s with platforms like GeoCities and SixDegrees, which allowed users to create profiles and connect, to the expansion in the 2000s with sites focused on different purposes like Facebook for social networking, YouTube for video sharing, and Twitter for microblogging. Over the next decade, social media increasingly moved to mobile platforms and emphasized visual content and messaging. More recently, concerns have grown regarding privacy, misinformation, and the impact of social media on mental health and society, prompting platforms to implement new policies to address these issues and explore more ethical models like decentralized systems.

Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...James Anderson
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:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
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.

4. Social Media: forms of electronic
communication (as Web sites for social
networking and microblogging) through which
users create online communities to share
information, ideas, personal messages, and
other content (as videos)
Merriam-Webster
5. Social media is the interaction among people in which they create, share
or exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks.
Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as "a group of
Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological
foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user-
generated content." Furthermore, social media depend on mobile and
web-based technologies to create highly interactive platforms through
which individuals and communities share, co-create, discuss, and modify
user-generated content. They introduce substantial and pervasive
changes to communication between organizations, communities, and
individuals.
Wikipedia
6. Social media differ from traditional or industrial media in many ways,
including quality, reach, frequency, usability, immediacy, and permanence.
There are many effects that stem from internet usage. According to
Nielsen, internet users continue to spend more time with social media
sites than any other type of site. At the same time, the total time spent on
social media in the U.S. across PC and mobile devices increased by 37
percent to 121 billion minutes in July 2012 compared to 88 billion minutes
in July 2011. For content contributors, the benefits of participating in
social media have gone beyond simply social sharing to building
reputation and bringing in career opportunities and monetary income.
7. According to Mirriam-Webster, the term Social Media was not
used until 2004, however, it existed before the term was coined.
Geocities, created in 1994, was one of the first social media
sites. The concept was for users to create their own websites,
characterized by one of six "cities" that were known for certain
characteristics.

Information from July 2011 Survey
32.
33. Facebook is important as a kind of social broadcasting space
Female (age 15): “And so after school the day before, someone said ‘oh, the
assembly’s sure going to be fun.’ And I’m like, ‘what assembly?’ And they’re
like, ‘the assembly that we’re performing in.’ ‘What assembly that we’re
performing in?’ No one had remembered to tell me, because they had only
posted it on Facebook. So after that I just got a Facebook to know what’s
going on.”
34. Despite an increased presence on FaceBook, activity on and enthusiasm for
Facebook appears to be waning. Why? Here are some thoughts behind this
decrease:
!
❖ Increased adult presence: fastest growing segment of the population on
FaceBook is female ages 55-66.
❖ People sharing excessively.
❖ Stressful drama associated with the site.
❖ Ability to post on Facebook without being on Facebook from other social
media sights like Twitter and Instagram.
35. Social Media Focus Group Quotations
Female (age 14): “I think Facebook can be fun, but also it’s drama central.
On Facebook, people imply things and say things, even just by a like, that
they wouldn’t say in real life.”
Female (age 19): “Yeah, thats why we go on Twitter and Instagram [instead of
Facebook] . My mom doesn’t have that.
36.
37.

39. For teens, managing their “social privacy”
online is paramount.
Lots of time and energy are devoted to reputation and network management:
74% of teen social media users have deleted people from their network.
59% have deleted or edited something that they posted in the past.
53% have deleted comments from others on their profile or account.
45% have removed their name from photos that have been tagged.
31% have deleted or deactivated an entire profile or account.
19% have posted updates, comments, photos or videos that they later
regretted.
40. Why is SnapChat so popular?
More like a visual conversation than other digital tools – when it’s over, it’s
gone, like a hallway chat
Doesn’t become part of the curated durable portrait of YOU online
Enables speedy exchanges of pictures and videos
Most schools have not blocked it yet
41. Quotations about SnapChat
Female (age 16): “Yeah, [Snapchat] it’s faster. And you can use Snapchat at
school with the school’s website.”
Female (age 16): “Well, because Facebook, everyone sees what I’m doing.
But Snapchat is just to one person, unless they’re a jerk and they
screenshot it and post it on Facebook. But mostly it’s just the person that
you’re sending it to, so it’s like a conversation.”
Female (age 17): “And it’s just kind of fun. Because it’s like texting, but you
get to use your face as the emoticon instead of an actual emoticon.”
43. More Focus Group Quotations:
Friending teachers and preachers
Female (age 14): “I think I wouldn’t [become Facebook friends with my
teachers]. Just because I’m such a different person online. I’m more free.
And obviously, I care about certain things, but I’m going to post what I
want. I wouldn’t necessarily post anything bad that I wouldn’t want them to
see, but it would just be different. And I feel like in the classroom, I’m more
professional [at] school. I’m not going to scream across the room oh my
God, I want to dance! Or stuff like that. So I feel if they saw my Facebook
they would think differently of me. And that would probably be kind of
uncomfortable. So I probably would not be friends with them.”
44. More Focus Group Quotations:
Friending teachers and preachers
Male (age 18): “Yeah, I go to church and all, so I don’t want to post certain
things because I don’t want the preacher looking at my Facebook. Because I
go to church with her. So then if she sees me, yeah, baby, and yeah. I feel like
it does affect the way you use social [media]. You have that respect for
something or for a group that you’re into or anything, like… yourself, because
maybe that’s who you are, but at the same time, you love that group and you
never want to disrespect them. So at that point, I feel like it does affect you.
Sometimes affecting you doesn’t always mean negatively. It can sometime[s]
be positively, you know?”
45. More Focus Group Quotations:
College admissions officers can find out things
Male (age 18): “So honestly, the only time I’ve ever deleted for a picture is
because I’m applying for colleges. You know what? Colleges might
actually see my pictures and I have pictures like with my fingers up, my
middle fingers up. Like me and my friends have pictures, innocent fun.
We’re not doing anything bad, but innocent fun. But at the same time,
maybe I’m applying for college now. Possibly an admission officer’s like,
you know, this kid’s accepted. Let’s see what his everyday life is like.
They’re like, um–”
