Social Media Platforms

Since the launch of Facebook (FB) in 2006, social media participation has grown rapidly during the past decade. Although FB and YouTube (YT) still occupy the most prominent positions in the social media landscape, Instagram (IG) is rapidly gaining ground, and now has a market share of 35%. It is not uncommon for users to have more than one account. New social media platforms have been developed and gained some popularity, some major concerns have been raised. Displacement–reinforcement effects, such as changes in attitude and loyalty, may appear in relation to both new and old media. In addition, age appears to influence the platform usage and preference. These matters led us to our research question: Is the Internet generation more likely than other generations to switch from FB to YT or IG?

News Sharing

Purpose“Fake news” or misinformation sharing using social media sites into public discourse or politics has increased dramatically, over the last few years, especially in the current COVID-19 pandemic causing concern. However, this phenomenon is inadequately researched. This study examines fake news sharing with the lens of stimulus-organism-response (SOR) theory, uses and gratification theory (UGT) and big five personality traits (BFPT) theory to understand the motivations for sharing fake news and the personality traits that do so. The stimuli in the model comprise gratifications (pass time, entertainment, socialization, information sharing and information seeking) and personality traits (agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, openness and neuroticism). The feeling of authenticating or instantly sharing news is the organism leading to sharing fake news, which forms the response in the study.Design/methodology/approachThe conceptual model was tested by the data collected from a sample of 221 social media users in India. The data were analyzed with partial least squares structural equation modeling to determine the effects of UGT and personality traits on fake news sharing. The moderating role of the platform WhatsApp or Facebook was studied.Findings The results suggest that pass time, information sharing and socialization gratifications lead to instant sharing news on social media platforms. Individuals who exhibit extraversion, neuroticism and openness share news on social media platforms instantly. In contrast, agreeableness and conscientiousness personality traits lead to authentication news before sharing on the social media platform.Originality/value This study contributes to social media literature by identifying the user gratifications and personality traits that lead to sharing fake news on social media platforms. Furthermore, the study also sheds light on the moderating influence of the choice of the social media platform for fake news sharing.

For LGBTIQ+ people, the internet and social media are key channels for communicating and connecting with queer peers, and learning about queer life and queer experiences. While digital social spaces have evolved over the past 20 to 30 years, many of the motivations for using these platforms remain the same. This paper draws on data from the Scrolling Beyond Binaries study, centred on a national Australian survey of 1,304 young LGBTIQ+ people. We present key findings from the study examining generational differences across our four age cohorts of our young respondents: 16–20, 21–25, 26–30 and 30–35. Even among this group of young people, we find stark differences by age in self-identification related to gender and sexuality, and also patterns of difference in the social media platforms they use. Our younger respondents identify with much more fluid forms of gender and sexuality, and also tend to favour dating and hook-up apps that are more inclusive. We seek to foreground the ways in which the internet continues to be significant for our respondents for social connection and learning. We also add to our understandings of the complex and evolving ways in which young LGBTIQ+ people use and thus (re)produce digital social spaces, returning to Nina Wakeford’s (2000 [1997]) consideration of ‘cyberqueer spaces’.

The Moment

This paper takes up the question of how “platform” can be understood when it comes to studies of digital discourse. I posit that this is an empirical and ethnographic question, rather than a purely theoretical one. Regardless of how scholars theorize social media platforms and other technologies, the people interacting with those technologies already have their own emic conceptualizations of what that technology is and how it functions and those understandings shape their social media experiences. This paper aims to explore the stakes of such local conceptualizations. I argue that many of tumblr.com's most active users conceptualize the social media platform as a living actor — a dynamic and agentive entity $2 whom these young people interact, rather than a space $2 which they interact or a medium $2 which they interact. Attending to this particular understanding of Tumblr-as-actor is crucial because it has so intimately shaped the processes by which my research participants have come to take up new political-ethical commitments and identities through their engagement with the platform. However, I suggest that new methodological approaches for the study of digital discourse are required if scholars are to truly take seriously an understanding of platform as agentive figure. To this end, I argue for the use of audio-visual screen capture technologies that concurrently record the content on a screen alongside the bodies of users themselves for analyzing in-the-moment interactions between user and platform.

AbstractThe German verbal lexicon has been enriched by numerous English borrowings, particularly within the past 100 years, but while many verbal anglicisms are frequently used and sanctioned by language authorities, the status of new, non-standard, and rare verbal anglicisms in German has not been subject to extensive research attention. In this study, a new method is used to analyze non-standard German verbal anglicisms in a large and novel corpus compiled from the social media platform Twitter. After a review of previous work, the methods used to create a corpus of German-language tweets and to automatically extract new verbal anglicisms are described, and the semantics of some of their most frequent types are analyzed, including forms with separable and inseparable prefixes. Then, present and past participles are considered according to assimilation to standard German orthography, use as participle or attributive adjective, and stem vowel quality. In the final set of results, the focus is on the productivity of the verbalizing morpheme -ier-, a historically important element for the integration of foreign word material into German. The study demonstrates that non-standard verbal anglicisms are widely used, and that their morphological behavior is mediated by frequency effects as well as phonological, pragmatic, and semantic considerations.

<p>ABSTRACT<br />In the era of globalization, the Internet is growing rapidly. One proof of the development of the internet is the emergence of a social media platform that can change the way people live in the field of communication, health, business and others. One of the social media that is often used is Youtube. And the content created by brands that continue to experience positive trends from year to year is webseries. This research uses Charles Sanders Peirce semiotic analysis method. The Peirce Semiotics Method is used to see representation of brand identity present at Jelang Buka from Unilever, Sore from Tropicana Slim and Balada Al Prilly from Vivo. The findings of the research show that Tropicana Slim with Sore webseries is more implicit in conveying brand identity to the audience by prioritizing a healthy lifestyle campaign. While Unilever with Jelang Buka webseries and Vivo with Balada Al Prilly webseries explicitly conveys identity by bringing up their products in every episode. The brand identity that appears in the three webseries is represented so neatly and flows together with the story of the webseries so that the audience can enjoy the advertisement with the story presented by each brand without having to force the ad to see it. As a practical suggestion many brands in all sectors can consider creating ads using webseries on Youtube because they have a large number of viewers and for brands that have made the webseries consistent with other stories or continuing stories. The academic advice is expected to do further research in the field of quantitative to see the effectiveness of webseries as a medium of advertising on consumer buying considering it has many audiences.<br />Keyword: Brand Identity, Webseries, Youtube, Advertisement, Semiotic.</p><p> </p><p>ABSTRAK<br />Di era globalisasi, internet berkembang semakin pesat. Salah satu bukti berkembangnya internet adalah munculnya sebuah platform media sosial yang dapat mengubah cara hidup masyarakat di bidang komunikasi, kesehatan, bisnis dan lain-lain. Dan salah satu media sosial yang sering digunakan adalah Youtube. Dan konten yang dibuat oleh brand yang terus mengalami tren positif dari tahun ke tahun adalah webseries. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis semiotika Charles Sanders Peirce. Metode Semiotika Peirce digunakan untuk melihat representasi brand identity yang hadir di webseries Jelang Buka dari Unilever, Sore dari Tropicana Slim dan Balada Al Prilly dari Vivo. Penemuan hasil penelitian menunjukka yaitu Tropicana Slim dengan webseries Sore lebih implisit dalam menyampaikan identitas merek kepada penontonnya dengan mengutamakan kampanye gaya hidup sehat. Sementara Unilever dengan webseries Jelang Buka dan Vivo dengan webseries Balada Al Prilly dalam menyampaikan identitas secara eksplisit dengan memunculkan produk-produknya di setiap episode. Identitas merek yang dimunculkan di ketiga webseries tersebut di representasikan begitu rapih dan mengalir menjadi satu dengan cerita webseries tersebut sehingga penonton dapat menikmati iklan dengan cerita yang disuguhkan masing-masing brand tanpa harus memaksa melihat iklan tersebut. Sebagai saran praktis diharpakan berbagai brand di segala bidang dapat mempertimbangkan untuk membuat iklan menggunakan webseries di Youtube karena memiki jumlah penonton yang banyak dan bagi brand yang telah membuat webseries tetap konsisten denga membuat cerita-certa lain atau melanjutkn cerita sebelumnya. Adapun saran akademik yang diharapkan agar dilakukannya penelitian lanjutan di bidang kuantitatif untuk melihat efektifitas webseries sebagai media periklanan terhadap minat beli masyarakat mengingat jumlah penonton yang banyak di tren webseries ini.  Kata Kunci: Brand Identity, Webseries, Youtube, Periklanan, Semiotika</p>
