Pour ce sujet, nous avons choisi de nous intéresser aux nouvelles pratiques liées à la mode qui se sont développées sur internet ces derniers années. Nous avons fait le choix de ne pas vraiment séparer état de l'art et analyse, dans la mesure où très peu d'études ont été réalisées sur ce sujet spécifique, et afin de ne pas rendre la lecture trop rébarbative. Il s'agit d'une approche à la fois technologique et sociologique sur ces pratiques, et une tentative d'analyse. Le web ne connaissant pas de frontière, nous prendrons pour illustrer nos propos des exemples de sites du monde entier. Après s’être approprié la musique, le cinéma ou les séries, les utilisateurs du web s’approprient maintenant la mode.

Over the past year I’ve been following the work of Dr. Bernardo Huberman, director of HP Labs’ Social Computing Lab , and his team. HP has been applying rigorous scientific practices to the study of social media and it has a gold mine of research open to the public. It is worth emphasizing that HP’s studies are designed to the highest scientific standards; they are not isolated case studies or the musings of a “social media expert.” They typically involve very large numbers of people and thus they reveal some fundamental aspects of our increasingly online culture.

"It's all about me" - a statement of the blindingly obvious about how people use social networking sites, but no less significant for it. Last week, the BBC gathered together a group of twenty 19- to 39-year-old Londoners who described themselves as light or heavy social media users to ask them how they used social media for news. And the answer was very clear: in twenty different ways. Each member of the group had a very clear understanding of what they wanted from Facebook (that was the network they all used - Twitter barely got a mention). They had a sophisticated appreciation of the image they projected of themselves through their Facebook activity - some joining groups and sharing stories because they wanted their friends to know what they were into.

How does the web search behavior of ``rich'' and ``poor'' people differ? Do men and women tend to click on different results for the same query? What are some queries almost exclusively issued by African Americans? These are some of the questions we address in this study.
