Follow him on Twitter. Every time I tell someone I’m a Community Manager, I get a varied response. But the response doesn’t vary enough. The response is usually something along the lines of “Wow! So you tweet and facebook for a living! The Age of Social Networks. InShare6 Social networks share a common ingredient in design and intent, the connection of people and the facilitation of conversations, sharing, and discovery.
What they do not share however, are culture, behavior, and prevailing demographics. Each network is unique in its genetic and cultural composition and it is for that reason that we benefit by becoming digital anthropologists in addition to new media marketers. Demographics are distributed within all social networks, but only concentrated within a select few. Where specific demographics materialize varies from network to network and as such, the more effective social strategies and tactics are designed to reach target audiences where, when and how they engage. 4 Steps for Managing Social Media Attention.

Linked - But how? The growing interest in social sites in scientific research as well as in business has led to a sharp increase in the analysis of such sites.
The tools and methods to technically analyze such sites are developed and are being enhanced. One major question though seems to be left mostly unattended: If one takes the relationship data in a site like e.g. MySpace, what is the ‘real’ interpretation of the social network analysis? There is no clear definition as to the meaning of a link. Robustness of Social Networks. Collective Semantics: Collective Intelligence & the Semantic Web - Information Retrieval vs. Knowledge Retrieval: A social network perspective. Collective Intelligence and Social Content Semantic Analysis. Overall objective and topics to be addressed: While it is nowadays easy for users and organisations to generate and share content, current applications do not fully support intelligent processing and management of such information.
Thus, users fail to access it efficiently and cannot exploit the underlying knowledge. The aim of the workshop is to present and draw appropriate strands of work for exploiting multiple layers of intelligence from user-contributed content, which together constitute Collective Intelligence, a form of intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition among many individuals. The workshop will provide an overview of current research/state of the art in various sources of Collective Intelligence: digital content items and contextual information, massive user feedback and users social interaction, with speakers coming both from industry and academia.

Web 2.0 Expo NY: Clay Shirky (shirky.com) It's Not Information Overload. It's Filter Failure. Dynamics of Information and Evaluation on Social Networks. Finding a Team of Experts in Social Networks. Given a task T, a pool of individuals X with different skills, and a social network G that captures the compatibility among these individuals, we study the problem of finding X, a subset of X, to perform the task. We call this the Team Formation problem. We require that members of X not only meet the skill requirements of the task, but can also work effectively together as a team.
We measure effectiveness using the communication cost incurred by the subgraph in G that only involves X. We study two variants of the problem for two different communication-cost functions, and show that both variants are NP-hard. We explore their connections with existing combinatorial problems and give novel algorithms for their solution. Would you like to put a link to this lecture on your homepage?
