Research Avenues of Inquiry
The online reflection - Why does this matter?
• Volume – How did the conversation amplitude evolve over two weeks in February online?
• Sentiment – Where did negative sentiment originate and how did it evolve/spread? (keywords, people, and topics)
• Community – Who were the relevant actors? (Organizations, Customers, Users, Activists, Influencers, etc.)
• Post-level Performance – What types of posts and specific events instigated the issue online? (artifacts involved such as videos, photos, Facebook posts, tweets, etc)
How did the Copenhagen Zoo handle the event on social channels and how did the (social) media storm effect their presence? How did other organizations deal with the crisis? What made this incident different and how?
Dataset
Distribution
Distribution (DK)
Channel Comparison • Twitter dominates 75% of total
chatter, while 21% is from Facebook Discussions
• Amplification: 50% of Tweets are retweets
Danish Subset
• Media channels are more rich in diversity
• Facebook and Twitter only share half the conversation
• Only a quarter of all Tweets are re-tweets
> Does mainstream media play a greater role for Danish society while, social media is dominant elsewhere in terms of quantity of discussion and breadth of dispersion?
Region and Language
Detection
• 95% of the total
conversation was
detected to be in English.
• Almost two thirds of
global activity came from
the US (64%), followed by the UK (13%) and
Netherlands (4%).
• Danish was only detected
in 2,220 posts.

Social Text
A Sentimental Topic
Radian6
Sentiment-challenged Examples:
Automatic Sentiment Results
• Danish data tends to be much more neutral compared to the non-Danish data.
• Most of the negativity detected in Twitter for non-Danish data while most of the negative data occurs in Facebook for Danish data.
> Does this imply that Danes prefer Facebook to Twitter to express their ideas?

Initial Findings
Overall
• Twitter offered a more direct reflection of events, in terms of volume and sentiment
• Twitter also demonstrated a more drastic reaction to network prestige factors from activists and celebreties
• Automatic sentiment on Radian6 is neutral-heavy, often failing to detect negative sentiment,
• The dominance of English-language countries and the Twitter channel went hand-in-hand (perhaps along with mainstream spin).
• The mechanisms on Facebook allow a dichotomy from crisis situations by yielding negative sentiment in terms of comments and posts, while simultaneously experiencing unprecedented growth in positive signals (such as fans and likes, as well as buzz and check-ins).
Danish Comparison
Contrast with Danish Subset
• Mainstream media plays a larger role as opposed to higher proportions of online debate on social channels elsewhere
• Re-tweets levels are relatively small and social media may be used social media more to express oneself rather than to share information.
• Negative sentiment was detected more strongly on Facebook
