Mapping Online Publics

There’s just one more week to go until the end of the 2012 Queensland state election campaign – and as I write this, the tenor of the mainstream media coverage is that we’re heading for a landslide election win for the conservative LNP . So, let’s take another look at the way the election has played out on Twitter over the past week (our coverage of the previous weeks is here: preliminary overview , week 1 , week 2 , and week 3 ). Before we get started, I’m also happy to report that our research to date has been featured in a great piece on the ABC’s 7.30 Queensland programme, which is available here , and embedded below: http://www.mappingonlinepublics.net/
“Be yourself.” It’s one of the rules of social media. If you’re blogging, tweeting or Facebooking for business, be real—or you won’t be followed. http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/how-ibm-uses-social-media-to-spur-employee-innovation/

Science of the social network - Features, Gadgets & Tech - The Independent

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/features/science-of-the-social-network-2329529.html Thanks to questionable horror stories and half-baked research it is easy to believe that when Mark Zuckerberg sent his brainchild live in 2004, he unleashed a monster that has been wreaking havoc on society ever since. For example, according to some unnamed American psychologists, over half of Facebook users now suffer Facebook Addiction Disorder, or FAD, characterised by withdrawal anxiety and wasted hours spent posting updates and poking friends. According to another survey, when they do get their fix, Facebook junkies risk destroying personal relationships.
http://blog.lockerproject.org/2011/05/16/brainstorming-tlp-core-values/ I’ve been wanting to share the core values that both inspired the founding of the Locker Project last year and that are driving me so passionately to advance it, but it’s been challenging to summarize such things. The first and most central value is that of personal data ownership. That may not mean much to most people, but let me try an analogy: it’s been tried often in the past to create micro economies where you get paid by an employer in company “credits” that are useful only at the company store, you never really owned your paycheck/money. I feel like that’s the world that we’ve fallen into when it comes to our personal data, and anything we can do to have more ownership over our data will free us to create a more vibrant digital economy. Now, it’s not enough to simply own (or at least have a copy of) your data, it has to be useful to you.

Det gör inte anspråk för att vara representativt för olika sociala medier. Vi vill täcka in satsningar som gjorts med olika kanaler, men det lär bli en naturligt övervikt på de största: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter. http://www.365socialmediacases.se/2010/01/365-social-media-cases.html

I have recently integrated and optimized my blog with my Facebook page with a social plugin for Facebook with a “like” feature at the top right hand corner of the blog and I have already seen positive results with traffic increasing by over 60% in the last 2 months. The reality is that traffic is great but at the end of the day the real objective is to turn a dollar. Eventbrite has just unveiled a new report that measures what a Facebook “like” is worth in real hard cash after analyzing over 11 million tickets that the company sold in 2010. Eventbrite is a new digital age social commerce event ticketing company and the social business concept is very strong especially for this type of industry, because when you are going to or planning to attend an event, you are very likely to tell your friends online and offline.
