This is a guest post by Itamar Kestenbaum. 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! Really, many people trying to describe Online Community Managers, end up sounding like this: Others may know what Community Manager is, but don’t know exactly how much it entails.
Make Friends In the Industry Community Managing is super easy when you’re working for a well-known tech company in the middle of Silicon Valley.

Look at Boring Stats — and Make Them Interesting Lots! 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. Over the years, I’ve relied on Google Ad Planner to surface the critical demographics in order to construct meaningful and targeted social programming.

There have never been more things that call out for our attention: We have tweets to read, Facebook statuses to check, and now Google Buzz updates — not to mention text messages, e-mails, and cell phone calls.
And the amount of data is growing each day. Recent reports estimate that the average American consumes 34 GB worth of content a day, including 100,000 words of information. While this access to information has numerous benefits, learning to live and work skillfully amidst an active social media lifestyle is an art in itself — one that will be increasingly challenging in the years ahead.
Below are four lessons in staying sane and focused amidst an active social media lifestyle. 1. 2. 3. “Do or do not. 4. Conclusion. 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. Is it frienship, acquaintance, awareness? When analyzing the dynamics of such a site, the question of time dependent relevance of links is added to this problem. Would you like to put a link to this lecture on your homepage? 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.

Chalmers Department of Philosophy University of Arizona Tucson, AZ 85721. chalmers@arizona.edu [[Written for the Templeton Foundation workshop on emergence in Granada, August 2002. Given the informal nature of the workshop, I haven't been especially careful with citations and such, but I should note up front that not much of what follows is fundamentally original with me.
I hope that nevertheless there is something useful at least in the way I have put things together.]] Two concepts of emergence The term "emergence" has the potential to cause no end of confusion in science and philosophy, as it is used to express two quite different concepts. We can say that a high-level phenomenon is strongly emergent with respect to a low-level domain when truths concerning that phenomenon are not deducible even in principle from truths in the low-level domain. These definitions of strong and weak emergence are first approximations, which might later be refined.
Strong emergence Weak emergence. Iedereen kan (even) bekend zijn | Kees Romkes. Het knopje ken je inmiddels wel uit facebook, twitter of een ander sociaal netwerk, “wat ben je aan het doen”, oftewel “update je status”. Toen ik daar laatst even over nadacht na talloze verhalen over “web celebrity” en “beroemdheden” in het algemeen te hebben gehoord, kregen die woorden toch ineens een hele andere lading… Dat leidt, voor velen, tot een afhankelijkheid van die online identiteit. “Nu even niet” is er niet bij, je wil continu op de hoogte blijven en je even terugtrekken, om te reflecteren, kijken waar je mee bezig bent, wie je ook alweer bent, wat je doet en hoe je in de wereld staat.
Dat doe je alleen, offline, disconnected. Sociodicted zou je het bijna kunnen noemen, je hebt het gevoel te leven omdat je interacteert met anderen, niet omdat je zelf “bent“. Ook die naieve vorm van positiviteit bestaat binnen virtuele communities zoals twitter, negatieve klaagzangen over je eigen gesteldheid negeer ik, teveel en ik block ze zelfs, want daar ben ik niet naar op zoek. Nils Roemen. Gisteren plaatste de Gelderlander een artikel over de beslissing van de Nijmeegse vierdaagse feesten om dit jaar Habana aan de Waal te schrappen van het programma. Nou weet ik te weinig van de details om iets gefundeerds te kunnen zeggen over of de redenen hiervoor wel of niet legitiem zijn.
Dus ik ga maar even af op wat ik wel weet over Habana aan de Waal en dat is: dat als tijdens de zomerfeesten de stad overspoeld wordt met mensen er één plek is waar je een prachitg feest kunt beleven zonder hutje mutje op elkaar te staan. Waar je met je voeten in het zand kunt staren naar een prachtige sterren hemel terwijl er op de achtergrond een goede band speelt, waar je niet als je naar de bar loopt om iets te bestellen, ook gewoon aan de beurt bent en niet eerst een kwartier hoeft te wachten. Waar met een bootje over de waal naartoe kan en waardoor het zoch wellicht nog het best laat vergelijken met een klein Oerol.
Dus dacht ik eens even via twitter te kijken wie dat ook zonde vinden. Findings - People Share News Online That Inspires Awe, Researchers Find.

Voor een gezonde online community is een bepaalde mate van sociale hygiene nodig. Ik heb afgelopen jaren gemerkt dat voor een goede sociale hygiene het niet zozeer gaat om de 3 R-en (rust, reinheid en regelmaat), maar om de 6 L-len: Liever klein beginnen; beter een forum met 4 actieve vrienden dan met 60.000 onbekenden (Rita Revisited). En Last but not Least: ga door, elke dag opnieuw. In bijna elke lezing en training die ik geef, vertel ik het: de belangrijkste vacature van 2010 en 2011 is die van de Community Manager.

(First published in somewhat different form in The Village Voice, December 1993.)
They say he raped them that night. They say he did it with a cunning little doll, fashioned in their image and imbued with the power to make them do whatever he desired. They say that by manipulating the doll he forced them to have sex with him, and with each other, and to do horrible, brutal things to their own bodies. And though I wasn’t there that night, I think I can assure you that what they say is true, because it all happened right in the living room — right there amid the well-stocked bookcases and the sofas and the fireplace — of a house I came later to think of as my second home. Call me Dr. That I was myself already known to wander the mansion grounds from time to time has little direct bearing on the story’s events.

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. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to consider the Team Formation problem in the presence of a social network of individuals.
