This paper describes the design and implementation of Personal Mobile Broadcasting Service which bases on embedded Linux and it supports personal broadcasting in wireless network environments. Recently, with the advent of various wireless networks and the increased use of high performance mobile devices, the demand for personal mobile broadcasting is being increased. The personal mobile broadcasting service makes it possible that mobile users create contents using their own mobile devices while they are moving or they are in any place. And then, it sends the created contents to server in real-time where their blogs are. Users connected to the content creator's blog can play the contents in real-time. With the implemented personal mobile broadcasting service, mobile users can share multimedia contents in real-time through wireless networks. And, it also helps users to construct their own broadcasting stations where they can broadcast the scene of the accident or public performance in real-time.

A Blog provides commentary, news, or content on a particular subject. The important part of many blogs is interactive format. Sometimes, there is a heated debate on a topic and any article becomes a political or sociological issue. In this paper, we proposed a method to predict the popularity of an article in advance. First, we used hit count as a factor to predict the popularity of an article. We defined the saturation point and derived a model to predict the hit count of the saturation point by a correlation coefficient of the early hit count and hit count of the saturation point. Finally, we predicted the virtual temperature of an article using 4 types(explosive, hot, warm, cold). We can predict the virtual temperature of Internet discussion articles using the hit count of the saturation point with more than 70% accuracy, exploiting only the first 30 minutes' hit count. In the hot, warm, and cold categories, we can predict more than 86% accuracy from 30 minutes' hit count and more than 90% accuracy from 70 minutes' hit count.

Cyworld has created a new social phenomenon that relationship between people and communities could be built by committing to digital writing. It has altered the way of people's writing attitudes from self-confessed to self-describing and self-broadcasting ways in which one regards oneself as the center of the cyber world. The purpose of this paper is to identify the shift in one's writing attitudes and how he/she develops technologies of the self in the Cyworld space. Quantitative and qualitative methods support the result; The analysis of 100 Cyworld users' mini-homepages show how the visual images in Cyworld affects their way of digital writing and the analysis of the change of writing habit due to sharing data how virtual 'family' that has been created by Cyworld. I categorize the characteristics of digital writing into three; 1)Visualization of technologies of the self 2)Networked technologies of the self 3)Sharing secretes. The aim of writing in Cyworld is not to keep the secrete but to share and, eventually, texts are circulated in the networked society where one is participated(Cyworld family). Therefore, the usage of images plays a significant role in Cyworld communities because the opened secretes are usually prepared to be presented on the basis of trustworthy toward other members.

This study aims to contribute to the understanding of consumer behavior during the COVID-19 by comparing blog reviews of an over-the-top (OTT) online video service from before and during the pandemic. We anticipate that the COVID-19 outbreak prompts the use of the OTT service as part of an emotion-focused coping strategy derived from the loss of personal control and the subsequent avoidance motivation. We also posit that a strong yearning for life before COVID-19 will increase interest in the content that fulfills a need for nostalgia. Our analysis of Netflix reviews provides empirical evidence of the effects of an emotion-focused coping strategy and nostalgia on OTT service usage. First, the titles of the reviews posted during COVID-19 indicate that consumers were less likely to mention OTT services other than Netflix, more interested in domestic content, and used OTT services as an avoidance-denial strategy. Second, the blog content demonstrates that while pre-COVID reviews tend to focus on the practical benefits of OTT services, those posted during the pandemic focus on mood, emotions, and dialogue. In addition, interest in comedy and romance genres increased during COVID-19. Third, we identified a greater preference for realistic or everyday content that depicted the pre-pandemic era. This is the first empirical study to investigate the effects of COVID-19 on video streaming usage in Korea. In addition, this research contributes to the field of marketing by expanding our understanding of online video service users during COVID-19 and identifies practical implications for OTT services in the midst of a pandemic.

This study starts from the hypothesis that the information society has affected the layman's interpretation and production of content. Specifically, the manner and contents of communication concerning the landscape of Soonyoo-do Park in blogs are surveyed and the possibilities and limitations of this phenomenon are discussed. The following topics are dealt with. Firstly, what is the landscape of Seonyoodo Park as captured by bloggers? What type of landscape do bloggers respond to? Secondly, what is the unique way that bloggers capture and interpret the landscape? Thirdly, What are the possibilities and limitations discovered from the landscape as captured and interpreted by bloggers? Thus, 1,000 blog posts concerning Soonyoo-do Park, as culled from the Internet, were categorized into three areas, First are blog posts browsed by keywords such as 'photo', 'a photographer's visit', 'a good p1ace for taking photos', and 'landscape'. These are focused on the visual aspects of the landscape. The second category is posts under the keywords 'domestic travel', 'Seoul travel', 'travel', and 'recommendation'. They contain introductory information on Seonyoodo Park; that is, they focus cm the more utilitarian functions of Seonyoodo Park as a place. The third one is posts that record personal experiences. The subjects for photography are the bloggers themselves and their companions. As a result of studying the way bloggers deal with landscape, it was found that first, people have developed the ability to capture the landscape and interpret the landscape actively and independently. This process can be regarded as the reproduction of landscape and place. In addition, the recording of their appreciation and feeling overlaps with evaluation and assumption. One negative aspect, however, is that many bloggers dramatize and repeat similar scenes. This can be seen as a make-up of image. The limitations of this study include difficulty in interpretation because blogs, which are the objects of this study, are very subjective and personal. In addition, it was not easy to categorize posts because there were diverse images and a broad range of writing. Nevertheless, practitioners of landscape architecture should continue to monitor and use one-person media like blogs, because the relationship between modern man and the landscape can be better understood through them.

Previous polarity classification using sentiment analysis utilizes a sentence rule by product reviews based rating points. It is difficult to be applied to blogs which have not rating of product reviews and is possible to fabricate product reviews by comment part-timers and managers who use web site so it is not easy to understand a product and store reviews which are reliability. Considering to these problems, if we analyze blogs which have personal and frank opinions and classify polarity, it is possible to understand rightly opinions for the product, store. This paper suggests that we extract high frequency vocabularies in blogs by several domains and choose topic words. Then we apply a technique of sentiment analysis and classify polarity about contents of blogs. To evaluate performances of sentiment analysis, we utilize the measurement index that use Precision, Recall, F-Score in an information retrieval field. In a result of evaluation, using suggested sentiment analysis is the better performances to classify polarity than previous techniques of using the sentence rule based product reviews.

Recently, the cosmetics industry considers male customers as a consumptive, active customer base who also have purchasing power with their stronger desire for their personal image enhancement. Male-preferred image brands have entered the era of unlimited competition through social media, thus increasing the acquisition of male beauty. Therefore, the information for designing favorable image strategies should be examined. This paper examines male awareness, determined by the degree of appearance management based on four categories (i.e., hair and skin care, makeup, foot and hand care, and plastic surgery). Based on the research, the paper proposes a data service to address the spatial and temporal separation problem between TV CF (the major media for recognizing information) and online $caf{\acute{e}}$/blog the major media for obtaining detailed information.

The purposes of the study are to investigate Koreans' perception about Vietnam by analyzing social big data and to seek changing direction in perception. For the purposes, the texts about Vietnam in Naver Blog and Twitter and the number of search and click for Vietnam in Naver were analyzed by Social Metrics of Daum Soft and Datalab of Naver. The study also analyzed the annual change of their interest in Vietnam based on social media. The results showed that Koreans still remember the Vietnam war, have a positive emotion toward Vietnam, and view Vietnam as a country where we can gain mutual benefit by exchange. The findings also indicated that Koreans perceive Vietnam as a favorite tourist spot regardless of age. Meanwhile, children under 12 showed a different pattern of an annual change in perception. It might be a positive sign that Koreans' interest region toward Vietnam would be diversified because children under 12 would be the central axis of cultural contents.
