A cross-cultural comparison of social networking structure on McDonald's Facebook fan sites between Taiwan and the USA was conducted utilizing the individualism/collectivism dimension proposed by Hofstede. Four network indicators are used to describe the network structure of McDonald's Facebook fan sites: size, density, clique and centralization. Individuals who post on both Facebook sites for the year of 2012 were considered as network participants for the purpose of the study. Due to the huge amount of data, only one thread of postings was sampled from each month of the year of 2012. The final data consists of 1002 postings written by 896 individuals and 5962 postings written by 5532 individuals from Taiwan and the USA respectively. The results indicated that the USA McDonald's Facebook fan network has more fans, while Taiwan's McDonald's Facebook fan network is more densely connected. Cliques did form among the overall multiplex and within the individual uniplex networks in two countries, yet no significant differences were found between them. All the fan networks in both countries are relatively centralized, mostly on the site operators.

2000년대 소셜 미디어(Social Media)의 발달은 불특정 다수를 같은 주제 아래 연대하게 이끌었다. SNS(Social Network Service)는 각종 대중문화의 감상과 해석을 널리 공유하는 수단이 되었고, 특정 작품을 매개로 하여 사람들의 관계를 돈독하게 해 주었다. 본 연구는 그 구체적인 사례로 미국 TV 드라마 <한니발(Hannibal)>의 제작자와 수용자 간의 커뮤니케이션 양상을 소개한다. 드라마 제작자인 브라이언 풀러(Bryan Fuller)를 비롯한 주요 제작진은 시청자가 원하는 것이 무엇인지 알고 공감하는 수단으로 SNS를 적극 사용하였으며, 이는 시청자 수로는 소규모이지만 헌신적인 시청층에게 열렬한 화답을 받았다. <한니발> 제작진은 작품 공급자이기보다 작품을 즐기는 소비자로서 SNS를 사용했고, 이는 과거의 일방향 홍보와 매우 다른 접근법이다. 본 연구는 사례 연구를 통해 SNS가 제작자와 시청자의 중간 매개자, 혹은 정보의 허브로서 강력한 힘을 발휘하고 있으며, 인터랙티브 컨텐츠가 뉴미디어에서 어떤 방식으로 제공될 때 효과가 좋은지를 제시하였다.

Traditionally used for networking computers and communications, the Internet has been evolving from the beginning. Internet is the backbone for many things on the web including social media. The concept of social networking which started in the early 1990s has also been growing with the internet. Social Networking Sites (SNSs) sprung and stayed back to an important element of internet usage mainly due to the services or provisions they allow on the web. Twitter and Facebook have become the primary means by which most individuals keep in touch with others and carry on substantive conversations. These sites allow the posting of photos, videos and support audio and video storage on the sites which can be shared amongst users. Although an attractive option, these provisions have also culminated in issues for these sites like posting offensive material. Though not always, users of SNSs have their share in promoting hate by their words or speeches which is difficult to be curtailed after being uploaded in the media. Hence, this article outlines a process for extracting user reviews from the Twitter corpus in order to identify instances of hate speech. Through the use of MPCA (Modified Principal Component Analysis) and ECNN, we are able to identify instances of hate speech in the text (Enhanced Convolutional Neural Network). With the use of NLP, a fully autonomous system for assessing syntax and meaning can be established (NLP). There is a strong emphasis on pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification. Cleansing the text by removing extra spaces, punctuation, and stop words is what normalization is all about. In the process of extracting features, these features that have already been processed are used. During the feature extraction process, the MPCA algorithm is used. It takes a set of related features and pulls out the ones that tell us the most about the dataset we give itThe proposed categorization method is then put forth as a means of detecting instances of hate speech or abusive language. It is argued that ECNN is superior to other methods for identifying hateful content online. It can take in massive amounts of data and quickly return accurate results, especially for larger datasets. As a result, the proposed MPCA+ECNN algorithm improves not only the F-measure values, but also the accuracy, precision, and recall.

최근 다양한 분야에서 빅데이터의 활용과 분석에 대한 중요성이 대두됨에 따라, 뉴스기사와 댓글과 같은 비정형 데이터의 자연어 처리 기술에 기반한 감성 분석에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 하지만, 한국어는 영어와는 달리 자연어 처리가 어려운 교착어로써 정보화나 정보시스템에의 활용이 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 감성 분석에 활용이 가능한 감성어 사전을 집단지성으로 구축하였고, 누구나 연구와 실무에 사용하도록 API서비스 플랫폼을 개방하였다(www.openhangul.com). 집단지성의 활용을 위해 국내 최대 대학생 소셜네트워크 사이트에서 대학생들을 대상으로 단어마다 긍정, 중립, 부정에 대한 투표를 진행하였다. 그리고 집단지성의 효율성을 높이기 위해 감성을 '정의'가 아닌 '분류'하는 방식인 폭소노미의 '사람들에 의한 분류법'이라는 개념을 적용하였다. 총 517,178(+)의 국어사전 단어 중 불용어 형태를 제외한 후 감성 표현이 가능한 명사, 형용사, 동사, 부사를 우선 순위로 하여, 현재까지 총 35,000(+)번의 단어에 대한 투표를 진행하였다. 본 연구의 감성어 사전은 집단지성의 참여자가 누적됨에 따라 신뢰도가 높아지도록 설계하여, 시간을 축으로 사람들이 단어에 대해 인지하는 감성의 변화도 섬세하게 반영하는 장점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 앞으로도 감성어 사전 구축을 위한 투표를 계속 진행할 예정이며, 현재 제공하고 있는 감성어 사전, 기본형 추출, 카테고리 추출 외에도 다양한 자연어 처리에 응용이 가능한 API들도 제공할 계획이다. 기존의 연구들이 감성 분석이나 감성어 사전의 구축과 활용에 대한 방안을 제안하는 것에만 한정되어 있는 것과는 달리, 본 연구는 집단지성을 실제로 활용하여 연구와 실무에 활용이 가능한 자원을 구축하여 개방하여 공유한다는 차별성을 가지고 있다. 더 나아가, 집단지성과 폭소노미의 특성을 결합하여 한글 감성어 사전을 구축한 새로운 시도가 향후 한글 자연어 처리의 발전에 있어 다양한 분야들의 융합적인 연구와 실무적인 참여를 이끌어 개방적 협업의 새로운 방향과 시사점을 제시 할 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

This study explored social media use among 50 adolescents attending a public high school in a non-Western community. Adolescents participated in focus group interviews and completed a written self-report survey. Findings revealed that these teenagers use electronic communication forms such as phone texting and social networking sites to connect with friends and family. They show a preference for Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram, do not engage in risky Internet behavior, and acknowledge both positive and negative aspects of electronic communication forms. In addition, their selection of electronic communication forms is dependent upon several factors that include the strength of the relationship and type of discourse exchange. For example, they reserve phone texting and cell use, which are more private communication mediums for family and friends. Electronic communication did not replace face-to-face interactions; rather it complemented and extended those interactions. Findings support existing literature on adolescent social media use and those shared with other collectivist cultural groups.

Many methods of discovering social networking communities or clustering of features are based on the network structure or the content network. This paper proposes a community discovery method based on topic models using a time factor and an unsupervised clustering method. Online community discovery enables organizations and businesses to thoroughly understand the trend in users' interests in their products and services. In addition, an insight into customer experience on social networks is a tremendous competitive advantage in this era of ecommerce and Internet development. The objective of this work is to find clusters (communities) such that each cluster's nodes contain topics and individuals having similarities in the attribute space. In terms of social media analytics, the method seeks communities whose members have similar features. The method is experimented with and evaluated using a Vietnamese corpus of comments and messages collected on social networks and ecommerce sites in various sectors from 2016 to 2019. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method over other methods.

This study examined the overall relationship between information privacy concern, need for uniqueness (NFU), and disclosure behavior to explain the personal factors that drive data-sharing on Facebook. The results of an online survey conducted with 222 Facebook users show that among diverse data that social media users disclose online, four distinct factors are identified: basic personal data, private data, personal opinions, and personal photos. In general, there is a negative relationship between privacy concern and a positive relationship between the NFU and the willingness to self-disclose information. Overall, the NFU was a better predictor of willingness to disclose information than privacy concern, gender, or age. While privacy concern has been identified as an influential factor when users evaluate social networking sites, the findings of this study contribute to the literature by demonstrating that an individual's need to manifest individualization on social media overrides privacy concerns.

Social media has become an integral part of consumers' daily lives. Individuals connect with one another on social networking sites to like, share, and post information and experiences. As social media become popular among millennials, a growing number of fashion retailers use social media networks in the context of online commerce transactions. Accordingly, an increased number of fashion retailers has been using social media as an advertising tool and a retail channel. Despite the popularity of social media among millennials, empirical findings are limited to reveal factors associated with young consumers' intentions to use social commerce in fashion shopping. This study sought to examine factors affecting millennials' intentions to use social commerce in fashion shopping by adopting the technology acceptance model. A total of 524 college students completed an online survey in the U.S. The results of structural equation model confirmed that perceived ease of use, usefulness, and enjoyment had a positive impact on millennials' attitudes and intentions toward fashion shopping in social commerce. While both perceived ease of use and usefulness positively influenced enjoyment, usefulness had a stronger impact than ease of use. Compared to usefulness, enjoyment had much stronger impact on attitudes. Further structural model analysis revealed a direct, positive influence of perceived usefulness of social commerce on perceived enjoyment of social commerce, which has not been explored in prior studies. These findings provide theoretical and managerial implications.
