People have always shared information through chains and networks of testimony. It is arguably part of what makes us human and enables us to live in cooperative communities with populations greater than 150 or so. The invention of the internet and the rise of social media have turbocharged our ability to share information. This chapter develops a normative epistemic framework for sharing information online. This framework takes into account both ethical and epistemic considerations that are intertwined in typical cases of online testimony. The authors argue that, while the current state of affairs is not entirely novel, recent technological developments call for a rethinking of the norms of testimony, as well as the articulation of a set of virtuous dispositions that people would do well to cultivate in their capacity as conduits (not just sources or receivers) of information.

Social media is basically to share information and self-disclosures by the account owner. However, there is an attitude of caution in expressing which must also be considered and needs to be considered. Technological developments make more and more new features appear on various social media platforms, one of them is the close friend feature on Instagram that can be used to limit users in sharing information that is considered more privacy. This study uses the Communication Privacy Management theory as a framework for investigating how Instagram users, especially young adults, use and respond to the use of the close friend feature. Overall, the results of interviews with five informants found evidence of five basic assumptions in using CPM implied on social media and showed that there is confidence in the disclosure of privacy when using the close friend feature.

Background: Myotonic dystrophy is an autosomal dominant condition affecting distal hand strength, energy and cognition. There is a neuromuscular patient portal under development that has the potential to give voices and resource access to patients, regardless of location via the internet and social media. The current state of access to technology and underlying factors affecting use and interest were explored. Methods: Surveys were mailed to 156 participants with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) through the Canadian Neuromuscular Disease Registry. The survey questions touched on demographics, technology use, internet use, and interest in the portal. Results: Seventy-two participants (43 female) responded so far and 50% were younger than 46 years. Most (62/72) used the internet and 94% of participants had access to an internet-connected device. Almost half of the responders (34/72) used social media. The complexity and cost of technology were commonly cited reasons not to use technology. The majority of responders (79%) were interested in a myotonic dystrophy patient portal. Conclusions: DM1 patients have access to and use technology such as computers and mobile phones. They expressed interest in a portal that would provide them with access to relevant information such as guidelines, self-management modules, educational videos, and support groups.

Social media is a valuable tool, providing a means of instruction, communication, and collaboration to many organizations including the government institutions that citizens rely upon. However, while important for distributing information, social media has not historically prioritized accessibility. The federal government has a duty to provide fair and usable information access for those with disabilities, but the delineation between where this responsibility lies becomes blurred when third-party platforms like social media are utilized. The extent to which social media pervades government sites and causes accessibility issues is one that is not well understood. This article presents an overview of the current state of affairs for Section 508, the implications it has for social media, and a study to evaluate the potential impact it has on all users.

Abstract Background and Purpose: Doing business over the Internet has become increasingly competitive for many companies. The aim of this study is to analyse the current state of utilizing online tools, approaches of Czech companies to the management of online marketing activities and to identify weaknesses and opportunities of these activities. Methodology/Approach: The paper presents empirical research that uses two different approaches in investigation: (1) descriptive quantitative research of current state, based on examination of websites of a sample of 4,584 Czech companies and (2) questionnaire survey among 161 Czech companies which do business via the Internet. Results: There is a large gap that currently exist between the use of social media and its connection to marketing activities. The competitive level of the use of social media in the Czech Republic is still low compared to the USA companies. The online marketing management (OMM) of the majority of companies rely on individual assessment and do not use any metrics or management methodologies. One of the main problems of OMM is the ever increasing number of tools used in marketing activities as well as low possibility of a broader perspective on the success of cross channel marketing activities. Conclusion: In the future, it is expected that a large number of Czech companies will increasingly use online tools as social media for their marketing activities. In the context of this development they cannot rely only on individual assessment to manage these activities as they do currently, but they will have to use comprehensive tools or methodologies. Based on this, we can conclude that Czech companies still have enough opportunities for a better use of online tools for marketing purposes.

Words in spoken political and journalistic texts may inspire, infuriate or even become mottos. Often, the entire spoken interaction may be forgotten, yet individual words may remain associated with the Speaker and/or the group represented by the Speaker or even the individual word or words themselves obtain a dynamic of their own, outshining the original Speaker. In the current-state-of affairs, connected with the impact of international news networks and social media, the impact of words in spoken political and journalistic texts is directly linked to its impact to a diverse international audience. The impact or controversy of a word and related topic may be registered by the reaction it generates. Special focus is placed in the registration and evaluation of words and their related topics in spoken political and journalistic discussions and interviews. Although as text types, spoken political and journalistic texts pose challenges for their evaluation, processing and translation, the presented approaches allow the registration of complex and implied information, indications of Speakers attitude and intentions and can contribute to evaluating the behaviour of Speakers-Participants. This registration also allows the identification of words generating positive, negative or diverse reactions, their relation to Cognitive Bias and their impact to a national and international audience within a context of international news networks and social media.

Abstract: The means and method of scholarly communication are changing as new and faster forms of communication become accessible to scholars. The potential for electronic scholarly communication via the Internet and the World Wide Web to positively affect the current state of affairs is very good. It may provide the means to address the hegemonic tendencies of the large for-profit scholarly publishers. Many matters need to be addressed though. Some of these are: copyright and ownership of intellectual property; the methods used for assessing the work of scholars; development of the communications infrastructure, both within and among institutions; and provision of equipment and services to those in the scholarly community. This paper examines these issues in the Canadian context. Résumé: Les moyens et méthodes de communication savante sont en train de changer à mesure que des formes de communication nouvelles et plus rapides deviennent accessible aux chercheurs. La communication savante électronique à l'Internet et au World Wide Web a un très fort potentiel d'avoir un impact positif sur l'état actuel des choses. En effet, la communication électronique pourrait permettre aux chercheurs de contrebalancer les tendances hégémoniques des grandes maisons d'édition académiques à but lucratif. Il est nécessaire dans ce contexte d'adresser plusieurs questions. Parmi celles-ci, il y a : le droit d'auteur et l'appartenance de propriétés intellectuelles; les méthodes utilisées pour évaluer les ouvrages académiques; le développement d'une infrastructure pour la communication, autant au sein d'institutions qu'entre celles-ci; et la fourniture d'équipement et de services à la communauté savante. Cet article examine ces questions dans un contexte canadien.
