Analyze Data

Social networks have become a popular communication tool for information sharing. Twitter offers access to data and provides a significant opportunity to analyze data. During pandemics, Twitter becomes a big source for the dispersal of unverified information. In social media, it is difficult to find the sources of rumors. To tackle this problem the authors have developed a hybrid rumor centrality algorithm for rumor source detection in social networks. The authors propose an S-RSI algorithm for identifying a single rumor centre and an M-RSI algorithm for identifying the propagations of multiple rumor centres in the thread of conversation. The proposed rumor centrality algorithm efficiently predicts the rumor disseminating possibilities in a conversation tree with the aid of graph theoretical approach. The authors have evaluated the performance of the algorithms on the PHEME dataset containing seven real-time event conversational trees based on the tweet messages. The results show that the proposed is best suitable in finding the rumor source centre with a high probability in social media during a crisis.

This book addresses Black culture, Web 2.0, and social networks from new methodological perspectives. Using critical technocultural discourse analysis, the chapters within examine Black-designed digital technologies, Black-authored websites, and Black-dominated social media services such as Black Twitter. Distributed Blackness also features an innovative theoretical approach to Black digital practice. The book uses libidinal economy to examine Black discourse and Black users from a joyful/surplus perspective, eschewing deficit models (including respectability politics) to better place online Blackness as a mode of existing in the “postpresent,” or a joyous disregard for modernity and capitalism. This approach also adds nuanced analysis to the energies powering Black online activism and Black identity.

Interactive Nature

Social media have become a standard in contemporary communication. That is especially true for business which jumped at the opportunity to con­nect with current and prospective customers allowing them to integrate with their favourite brands and products even further. This trend, however, seems to be absent in the public domain. Local authorities notice social media but attempt to use it in a one-to-many format, which is incompatible with the interactive nature of the new medium. Cities can strongly benefit from an active presence in the social sphere as it opens new paths to co-governance and better communication.

E-newsletters, podcasts, wikis, social networks, blogs, and webinars can all be important to researchers’ communication strategy. However, they should be prioritized along with the many other activities and responsibilities. Researcher should also decide what their social media “persona” should be. E-newsletters should be organized to include content users will find helpful and should be managed to observe best practices. Podcasts should observe specific technical and production requirements to make them successful. Wikis can be highly useful to share information within and among research groups. Social networks—including lay-level and academic networks—can provide valuable contacts and promote collaboration. Blogs can be useful communications with lay and professional audiences but have both pros and cons. Twitter and webinars can be a conduit to the public, as well as a useful communication tool within research groups.

Managerial Perspective

The actual omnichannel customer uses indifferently both online and offline channels to express himself through consumption, which increasingly blends personal, cultural and social dimensions. In this perspective social media and social networks are able to assist e-retailers in their effort of creating a total e-customer experience, especially in the tourism industry, trying to satisfy their clients from the relational and commercial point of view. By means of an empirical analysis where managers were interviewed on the topic and its degree of application in the firms, the paper underlines how from the managerial point of view, that represents a new prospect on the topic, the expected shift from e-commerce to social commerce paradigm, facilitating the selling and buying of products and services by using various internet features, is nowadays not completely understood and realized.

Complex Events

Popularity of the social media and the amount of importance given by an individual to social media has significantly increased in last few years. As more and more people become part of the social networks like Twitter, Facebook, information which flows through the social network, can potentially give us good understanding about what is happening around in our locality, state, nation or even in the world. The conceptual motive behind the project is to develop a system which analyses about a topic searched on Twitter. It is designed to assist Information Analysts in understanding and exploring complex events as they unfold in the world. The system tracks changes in emotions over events, signalling possible flashpoints or abatement. For each trending topic, the system also shows a sentiment graph showing how positive and negative sentiments are trending as the topic is getting trended.

The youth constitutes the largest user base of social media networks. While this generation has grown up in a digitally immersed environment, they are still not immune to the dangers the online space bears. Hence, maintaining their privacy is paramount. The present article presents a theoretical contribution, that is based on a review of relevant articles. It sets out to investigate the importance adolescents attribute to online privacy, which is likely to influence their willingness to disclose data. In line with a “new privacy paradox”, information disclosure is seen as unavoidable, given the centrality of social networks to adolescents’ lives. This goes hand in hand with individual privacy management. As individuals often lack knowledge as to how to protect their privacy, it is essential to educate the youth about their possibilities, equipping them with agency and self-responsibilization. This corresponds with a teen-centric approach to privacy as proposed by the TOSS framework.
