Much of our Social Network Site (SNS) and associated mobile application use involves observing and interpreting other people’s online presentations and interactions. This paper proposes an extension of the hyperpersonal model (Walther, 1996), called the hyperperception model, which can be used to explain and predict the potential psychological and relational effects that result from observing other people interact on SNSs and mobile apps. In this new model the observer of other people’s online interactions is the focus rather than the original hyperpersonal’s focus on the dyad. Hyperperception effects occur when an observer perceives higher intensity in others’ SNS interactions than those observed perceive. Following the hyperpersonal model, this extension identifies channel, sender, receiver, and feedback loop components that encourage hyperperceptions of others’ relationship by observers on SNSs. Applications to a variety of interpersonal phenomena are discussed.

The answers to the question of how to build a user's loyalty have become the most desirable knowledge to academics and practitioners, when the competitions turn drastic among social network sites. This article proposes a new model to investigate the influential factors of the user's cognitive loyalty and affective loyalty to a social network site. The authors find that the user's actualization of hoped for self and the informativeness of a social network site both have significant positive effects on the user's perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment, thereby positively influencing the user's loyalties to the Web site.

Facebook as a corporate communication tool for companies? A content analysis of the communication strategies of reputable Belgian companies on the social network site Facebook as a corporate communication tool for companies? A content analysis of the communication strategies of reputable Belgian companies on the social network site This study used a quantitative content analysis to investigate how twelve reputable Belgian companies use Facebook as a corporate communication tool. Findings indicate that companies use Facebook more often to post public relations than marketing communication content. The former is also more often shared than the latter. However, the latter creates more engagement in terms of reactions of the company on comments of users. Furthermore, about one fourth of the company posts did not generate any written reactions from users and can be classified as one-way communication. Almost 40% of the posts generated reactions from the users. To conclude, in one third of the cases companies reacted on these reactions of users, and results reveal that this is more often the case when it concerns public relations content than marketing communication content. Reputation score was not able to predict the communication strategy used on Facebook.
