Social Mediap the use of web-based and mobile technologies
to turn communication into an interactive dialogue.
p "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content.” (Kaplan and Hänlein, 2010)

Social Media
p Social media are media for social interaction, as a superset beyond social communication. Enabled by ubiquitously accessible and scalable communication techniques, social media substantially change the way of communication between organizations, communities, as well as individuals.(Kietzmann et al, 2011)

Social Mediap A common thread running through all
definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value.

2000s — Evolution of Social Software
p It isn't until late 2002 that the term 'social software' came into more common usage, probably due to the efforts of Clay Shirky who organized a "Social Software Summit" in November of 2002. He recalls his first usage of the term to be from approximately April of 2002.
p I asked Clay if it was the loss of meaning in the terms 'groupware' that made him choose the term 'social software', and he replied:
p "I was looking for something that gathered together all uses of software that supported interacting groups, even if the interaction was offline, e.g. Meetup, nTag, etc. Groupware was the obvious choice, but had become horribly polluted by enterprise groupware work."

Microbloggingp Micro-blogging is a form of blogging that allows users to write brief text
updates (usually 140 characters) and publish them, either to be viewed by anyone or by a restricted group which can be chosen by the user.
p These messages can be submitted by a variety of means, including text messaging, instant messaging, email, MP3 or the web.
p The content of a micro-blog differs from a traditional blog due to the limited space per message. Many micro-blogs provide short messages about personal matters, commentary on a person-to-person level, or a link dump.
p Twitter p Identi.ca p Yammer p Tumblr p Instagram p (Facebook, Google+ etc.)

Wikisp A Wiki or wiki is a website (or other hypertext
document collection) that allows users to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows anyone to edit the content.
p Two core assumptions incorporated in the wiki mechanism: ■ knowledge is transitory, not static ■ the whole is greater than the sum of the parts
(through each individual’s contribution, the resulting product is made better and better.)

Facebook study of ‘emotional contagion’ 2014
p “Experimental evidence of massive- scale emotional contagion through social networks,” by Adam D. I. Kramer, Jamie E. Guillory, and Jeffrey T. Hancock, which appeared in issue 24, June 17, 2014, of Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (111:8788–8790; first published June 2, 2014; 10.1073/ pnas.1320040111)
p researchers from Facebook and Cornell University teamed up to study "emotional contagion".
p Over a one-week period in 2012, they changed the content of news feeds for a random sample of Facebook users.
p For one group of users they removed content that contained positive words, for another group they removed content that contained negative words. They then measured whether subtly biasing the emotional content in this way changed the emotional content of status updates by the users. Sure enough it did. Making feeds more negative led to more negative behaviour, and vice versa.

Facebook study of ‘emotional contagion’ 2014
p The authors noted in their paper, “[The work] was consistent with Facebook’s Data Use Policy, to which all users agree prior to creating an account on Facebook, constituting informed consent for this research.
p Scientifically, the study is remarkable in some ways and unremarkable in others.
p The sample size of 689,003 is truly huge – possibly the largest in the history of psychology. And the results are interesting insofar as they show that very small changes in the emotional state of our environment can have knock-on effects for how we act (and presumably how we feel) in social networks.

Cambridge Analyticap CA's data analysis methods - based on the academic work of Michal Kosinski.
who joined the Psychometrics Centre of Cambridge University in 2008. He and his colleagues developed a profiling system using general online data, Facebook-likes, and smartphone data.
p He showed that with a limited number of "likes", people can be analysed better than friends or relatives can do and that individual psychological targeting is a powerful tool to influence people.
p CA would collect data on voters using sources such as demographics, consumer behaviour, internet activity, and other public and private sources.
“Today in the United States we have somewhere close to four or five thousand data points on every individual ... So we model the personality of every adult across the United States, some 230 million people.”

Cambridge Analyticap The personal data of approximately 87 million[22] Facebook users
were acquired via the 270,000 Facebook users who used a Facebook app called "This Is Your Digital Life.”
p By giving this third-party app permission to acquire their data, back in 2015, this also gave the app access to information on the user's friends network; this resulted in the data of about 87 million users being collected.
p The app developer breached Facebook's terms of service by giving the data to Cambridge Analytica.[24]
p On 1 May 2018, Cambridge Analytica and its parent company filed for insolvency proceedings and closed operations.
p Alexander Taylor, a former director for Cambridge Analytica, was appointed director of Emerdata on 28 March 2018

Conclusions
p The bottom-up approach of Social Software: ■ encourages responsibility and content ownership ■ opens wide opportunities for collaboration and interaction.
p The approach supported is ■ informal, innovative and flexible ■ it really empowers users, bringing the tools to them, and not
the opposite. p the significant results of Social Media deployment:
■ the generated content, ■ the social interaction triggered ■ a basis for joint actions.
p The dangers: p Reduced privacy, big data collection
