Weblogging (or blogging) is one the social media, characteristic of the web 2.0 generation. In this article, I will present a research on the Danish blogosphere, the focus of which has been on individual and personal blogging. Inspired by media geography, I pursue the idea that personal blogging can be understood as an embodied, collaborative and distributed practice which constitutes a digital realm to be inhabited by its users. Within media geography, the concept of “textures”, taken form Henri Lefevbre and the sociology of everyday life, designates how the self, the everyday and the mundane are spun together and mark out different cultural-material routes in and between space and place, real and virtual and in so doing create different reticular patterns of the commonplace (Falkheimer & Jansson, 2006; Jansson, 2002, 2008). By means of the concepts of textures, routes and patterns, I identify four different genres in personal blogging to be illustrated by four examples from the Danish blog community.

Compassion is a feeling evoked by the serious troubles of another where the onlooker can identify with the sufferer and believes that it is possible that he or she might have the same difficulty. The troubles must not be self-inflicted. Discussions of compassion go back to Aristotle, although they were originally called “pity.” The idea of compassion rests on beliefs about the social nature of everyday life as well as clear evidence of identification with others, which is even found in newborns. The everyday world is a social world. The place of the internet and contemporary social media in these processes is discussed. The idea of spirit is discussed, as are the religious and philosophical origins of the idea. Social situations where compassion is absent are discussed. The importance of compassion in medicine is stressed. Suffering, its definition and its importance in compassion are covered.

<p>From its birth to the nowadays lifestyle, web has strongly changed. Although once it was a “place’’ to find information, now it represents that virtual condition, in which it can be possible to share and collect information, thoughts, desires and doing shopping and so on and so forth.</p><p>Today, the company does not only make just a commercial communication. Instead, there exist many types of interaction: the internal communication, for instance. Enterprise 2.0 is that kind of business that uses the instruments of the web 2.0 both for external and internal communication. It means to use all the digital marketing tools to manage the entire organization, such that we have to think in a participatory management way. Indeed, we have to focus ourselves even more on a participatory organization, where the development of new projects derives from the ones who work into the company. The Social media that can be involved in this field are the same that are used for a commercial communication: social network, blogs, Wikipedia, podcasts, rss feed and so on and so forth.</p><p>Even though there are very few Italian companies that apply the tools of web 2.0 to manage the entire organization, the paradigm of the enterprise 2.0 is slowly taking off.</p><p>The purpose of this work paper is to identify how the company can efficiently adopt the digital marketing instruments, utilizing the participatory management: enterprise 2.0. The adoption of these participatory tools is fundamental, because only through their adoption, it can be possible to reach a vast audience and to satisfy the digital consumer needs, who is no more passive, but he is even more active and critic about the choices he is going to make.</p>

The term Web 2.0 was introduced by OReilly (2005) as the new stage in the Internet evolution referring to a collection of online applications sharing a number of common characteristics: The Web as a platform, Harnessing of the Collective Intelligence, Data is the Next Intel Inside, End of the Software Release Cycle, Lightweight Programming Models, Rich User Experiences. The term Web 2.0 or Social Media refers to applications enabling the creation, editing and dissemination of user-generated content. These applications are one of the main components of the current Internet environment commonly called Web 2.0. The importance and popularity of the Social Media as marketing tools and communication channels is growing and field studies provide evidence that these can strongly affect consumer behavior. An increasing number of studies suggest that corporate interest on the Web 2.0 domain keeps growing and more and more firms are introducing different social media tools into their daily business routines as well as into their marketing strategies. Despite the fact that thousands of corporations are already seriously engaged or experimenting with the Social Media as marketing tools there is also a high amount of retailers that do not use them. The objective of this study is to analyze the reasons why retailers do not use Web 2.0 tools and the main barriers that they consider to not adopt them, comparing with the retailers that use these tools.

The influence of the social media on science communication: strategies of GMO opponents on FacebookThe aim of the article is to discuss a growing role of the social media in science communication. Unlike in traditional mass media – TV, radio, press – the Web 2.0 tools allow to convey a much wider representation of opinions on science and technology, including those opposing or questioning the mainstream research. This paper presents the strategies of communication used by one of the biggest Polish anti-GMO groups on Facebook (“GMO To Nie To”) to raise their arguments and gain public support. It concludes that the use of new communication tools such as the social media introduces inevitable changes in the dynamic of science communication, which opens new research opportunities. Wpływ mediów społecznościowych na komunikację naukową: strategie przeciwników GMO na FacebookuCelem artykułu jest wskazanie na rosnącą rolę mediów społecznościowych w komunikacji naukowej. W przeciwieństwie do mediów tradycyjnych – telewizji, radia i prasy – narzędzia, jakie oferuje Web 2.0, pozwalają na reprezentację daleko bardziej różnorodnych opinii na temat nauki i technologii, również tych, które przeciwstawiają się powszechnie uznawanym wynikom badań lub je kwestionują. W dalszej części artykułu wskazane zostały strategie komunikacyjne największej na polskim Facebooku grupy skupiającej przeciwników GMO („GMO To Nie To”), stosowane, by zyskać wsparcie dla swoich racji i argumentów. Artykuł kończy się konkluzją, że wykorzystanie nowych narzędzi komunikacyjnych, np. mediów społecznościowych, wprowadza nieuchronne zmiany w dynamice komunikacji naukowej, co otwiera jednocześnie nowe możliwości badawcze.

Altmetrics is one of the recent impact measures to measure all sources of information without bias or exception. These measurements are completely dependent on the Web 2.0 environment to track posts, comments and public discussions around research products in the social media, as they are not only based on reference citations that are considered in the traditional measurements but considered them as one of the factors in a variety of other measurements. Since the start of talking about these measurements, a number of services and tools have emerged which are developed continuously. Like any new field, it has its supporters and opponents due to the restrictions, problems and manipulations that face the application of these measurements. That is why this study targeted the concept of altmetrics and the advantages of their application, the expected disadvantages behind their use, as well as the methods of manipulation used by researchers and publishers and ways to confront them. The researcher has depended on documentary approach to discuss the topic of altmetrics, and then explain the related terms, and describe them accurately. This study found that the altmetrics is one of the new measurements as a branch of the scientometrics stemming from the informetrics. It mainly focuses on capturing, collecting and analyzing data of the impact of research products on the web environment. Therefore, this study recommends the necessity of concerting the efforts of the academic and research institutions to spread awareness of the use and the application of altmetrics in the academic community, as well as encourages the researchers to publish and share their researches on social media platforms.

In the Web 2.0 era, consumers of media are no longer mere recipients of digital content, but rather active commentators and cocreators online. However, the Internet rule predicts that 90% of users are passive ‘lurkers’, 9% edit content, and 1% actually create content. This study investigates Finns’ social media activities that apply to content creation, as well as the level of content engagement and sharing. The data come from Statistics Finland and are representative of the Finnish population between the ages of 16 and 74. The results show that Finnish users perceive themselves predominantly as occasional commentators of social media posts. Dissecting the social media activities users engage in, commenting posts is the most popular activity. Gender, age, and education best explain the differences between the types of social media activities investigated. Overall, the study shows that Finns actively engage in different types of online activities as well as the pervasiveness of sociodemographic variables in Finland.

A common question asked about the web 2.0 by the offline population is:  "What do people do there?" The paper addresses this question with respect to Paul Ricoeur's narrative theory of the self. According to his essay Life in Quest of Narrative, a person drifts through time experiencing events happening to them, but none of it is actually lived when it is not "recounted" or "storied". In this light, "storytelling may be said to humanise time by transforming it from an impersonal passing of fragmented moments into a patter, a plot ,a mythos". Blogs and sites like Facebook represent the most recent development in the human attempt to weave this "mythos". A profile page and a tweet are first and foremost stories that appear to its critics "truncated or parodied" by design "to the point of being called micro-narratives or post-narratives", and to it s advocates"multi-plotted, multi-vocal and multi-media". The paper introduces notions of e-Self and e-Narrative, examines their dangers and benefits, and concludes that "the advent of cyber-culture should be seen not as a threat to storytelling but as a catalyst for new possibilities of interactive, non-linear narration".

Abstract This article analyzes the close relationship between religion (i.e. religious discourses in the context of everyday life) and modernization (i.e. the intensive and excessive use of social media in society). This article is based on literature and social media review—in particular it reviews on how the role of religion changed drastically due to mediatization process that occurs in the public sphere; as well as how the social media plays a dynamic role in society. This article concludes that the new image of religion as shown in mass media and social media demonstrates its shifting power from traditional institutions to mass and social media. Religious value immerses into every aspect of the everyday life and the religious aura; and this phenomenon neglects the secularization theory. Keywords: anthropology, social media, marriage, Islam  Abstrak Artikel ini menganalisis hubungan erat antara agama (yaitu wacana keagamaan dalam konteks kehidupan sehari-hari) dan modernisasi (yaitu penggunaan media sosial yang intensif dan eksesif dalam masyarakat). Analisis berdasar pada studi literatur dan observasi di dunia maya - termasuk beberapa akun media sosial dan interaksi antara netizen - terutama bahasan mengenai perubahan peran agama yang drastis akibat proses mediatisasi yang di ranah publik; sebagaimana media memainkan peran dinamis dalam masyarakat. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa citra baru agama, yang terpampang di media massa dan media sosial, mencerminkan pergeseran kekuasaan agama dari institusi tradisional ke media. Nilai-nilai agama terus menemukan celah untuk memasuki setiap aspek kehidupan dan mencakup aspek aura agama sehingga fenomena ini tidak sesuai dengan teori sekulerisasi. Kata kunci: antropologi, media sosial, pernikahan, Islam

The Way

In the Web 1.0 era, users were passive consumers of a read-only Web. However, the emergence of Web 2.0 redefined the way people use information and communication services—users evolved into prosumers that actively participate and collaborate in the ecosystem of a read-write Web. Consequently, marketing is one among many areas affected by the advent of the Web 2.0 paradigm. Web 2.0 enabled the global proliferation of social networking, which is the foundation for Social Media Marketing. Social Media Marketing represents a novel Internet marketing paradigm based on spreading brand-related messages directly from one user to another. This is also the reason why Social Media Marketing is often referred to as the viral marketing. This chapter will describe: (1) how social networking became the most popular Web 2.0 service, and (2) how social networking revolutionized Internet marketing. Both issues will be elaborated on two levels—the global and the Croatian level. The chapter will first present the evolution of social networking phenomenon which has fundamentally changed the way Internet users utilize Web services. During the first decade of 21st century, millions of people joined online communities and started using online social platforms, about 1.5 billion members of social networks globally in 2012. Furthermore, the chapter will describe how Internet marketing provided marketers with innovative marketing channels, which offer marketing campaign personalization, low-cost global access to consumers, and simple, cheap, and real-time marketing campaign tracking. Specifically, the chapter will focus on Social Media Marketing, the latest step in the Internet marketing evolution. The three most popular Social Media Marketing platforms (i.e., Facebook, Twitter, and Foursquare) will be described, and examples of successful marketing case studies in Croatia will be presented.
