Navigating Social Media in #Ophthalmology

With the advent of social network services such as Twitter, Facebook, Tumbler, and Google+, the research on social network and media analysis has been greatly advanced. In recent years, the interactions among people, sharing of knowledge and experiences, community activities in social network services increase greatly, which would make the research on social networks more important. Furthermore, as social media contents within social network services are rapidly being produced and consumed, the social media contents now account for the majority of content published on the world wide web. Social media is differentiated from traditional media in many aspects such as its frequency, quality, usability, immediacy, and permanence, which leads to significant potential to the social media analysis research.

The aim of this study is to reveal Open Education related social media usage in Turkey through social network analyses. To this end, the most widely used social media network in Turkey, Facebook, was chosen. All the pages and groups created on Facebook related to Open Education were found. A total of 207 groups and 521 pages were accessed and entered into the social network analysis. Within the scope of this study, the density and centrality features of the network were analyzed for groups whereas the density, centrality, and degrees features of the network were analyzed for pages. The study's results revealed that while pages and groups related to programs emphasizing current job opportunities and student support services were more actively used, commercial accounts attempted to exploit students' exam anxiety instead of generating actual content. The findings also revealed that well structured institutional pages appeal to students and have the potential to reach high levels of popular in short periods of time.

Despite increasing attention to the influence of customer involvement and social media in developing innovation in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), few studies have specifically investigated how to improve the effectiveness of social media–based customer involvement. Drawing on the knowledge-based view, social network and capability theories, we address this question by arguing that Social Customer Relation Management (CRM) enhances the effect of social media–based customer involvement upon innovation. Two key capabilities further enhance the moderating effect of Social CRM: social media network and customer information processing capabilities. The results from a longitudinal dataset of 317 SMEs indicate that SME customer involvement, enabled by Social CRM, social media network and customer information processing capabilities increases innovation. These findings have important implications for researchers and managers interested in enhancing the efficacy of SME customer involvement using social media.

In the context of growing interest in both Mobile-Internet convergence and Web 2.0 social technologies, this article investigates the business opportunities derived from offering Social Applications in the convergent scenario, particularly regarding Social Network and Content Sharing services. Given the business model structural deficiencies identified in literature for this type of convergent services, the investigation is oriented towards the role of the technology delivery channels (either Internet and/or Mobile) and revenue appropriation strategies. A mixed-methods research strategy was employed consisting of a cross-sectional survey of 124 Social Application services offered in Spanish language and seven case studies with representative Social Network and Content Sharing services. While the aim of the survey was to map and identify the overall main characteristics and business model dimensions of Social Applications, the case studies' objective was to understand the strategic reasoning behind business model design and evolution. The research offered a detailed view on the dynamics of Social Network and Content Sharing services, showing how the revenue strategies are tightly linked to the technological delivery channel. Finally, six critical success factors for business models of Content Sharing and Social Network services were identified.

The Internet anonymity for a long time made it difficult for journalists to use the content presented in it. Now, thanks to the convergence of the "virtual" personality and the "real" one, this problem has been mitigated. Journalists begin to perceive social networks as sources of information, and they start to interpret what is published in them as reliable data or public statements. This research shows the extent of penetration of social networks information to the media, characterizes structural-functional features of this recent journalism tool. This work shows how often, when and for which purposes Media uses the social networks and how does this situation influences the articles. The continuous selection from RIA Novosti, Life.ru and Lenta.ru (683 articles) allowed us to examine features of representation of information from social networks. It was found that journalists use social media materials to confirm some fact or position of a person, as an information guide, they borrow there photos or videos, and, analyzing the comments, reproduce the "opinion of the audience". In general, it is shown that social networks have already secured the place of information providers for the media. The media began to trust this information, learned how to work with it, to process it for certain genres. There are even special software tools that allow Internet media to integrate very organically posts from social networks into their pages with publications when creating a site. The identical virtual personality of a real person, created now in social media, increasingly brings communication within the network closer to communication in real life, which expands the professional journalistic toolkit.

Customer engagement is a key metric for gauging brands' social media success. Luxury fashion brands increasingly use social media to connect with customers. This paper tests a model of the antecedents and consequences of engagement with luxury fashion brands on social media. Developing a content aesthetic quality scale with a sample of 1166 buyers of luxury fashion brands, we identify two routes for how social media content can augment brand loyalty and foster brand love for luxury fashion brands. We reveal that the effectiveness of social media content in generating customer brand engagement depends on its ability to be entertaining. Specifically, our findings demonstrate that entertainment affects customer engagement and mediates the relationship between content marketing (specifically, content aesthetic quality and celebrity endorsement) and customer engagement with luxury fashion brands. Customer engagement fosters brand loyalty and brand love. Managerial implications for luxury brand managers and social media marketers are discussed.

Modeling consumer engagement on social networking sites: Roles of attitudinal and motivational factors

The 'social media' has become synonymous of today's generation. Approximately two third of Indians online spend time on different social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Whatsapp, Qzone, Google+, Snapchat, Pinterest, etc. Interaction, live chat, status updates, image- as well as video-sharing are few of the major aspects that play a role in the popularity of social media. This popularity provides an opportunity to study and analyse the characteristics of online social network graphs at large scale. Understanding these graphs is important to improve current systems and to design new means to determine them by important parameters such as: security, reliability, value added features, connectivity to other online social networks, etc. Hence, social network analysis (SNA) is becoming a vital tool for researchers, but all the necessary information is often available in a distributed environment. This paper presents fuzzy soft set decision-making model, which gives a new hypothesis for determining the popular social networking sites by involving significant parameters. The model has applied fuzzy soft set theory on 14 significant parameters to predict the popularity of social networking sites. The experimental result shows that the FSS decision-making model provides a new algorithm which is to determine the most popular networking site.

The study focuses on the growing phenomenon of parent sharenting. The research data was obtained by using a structured interview method. The research population comprised 11 respondents, ten females and one male aged AM=35 years. All respondents are parents of children between 2 and 25 years old, who use social networking sites and have at least once shared content about their children or adolescents in an online social networking environment. The research is unique in its focus, as there is a lack of research on the topic in Slovakia. The results of our research have shown that the age of parents does not influence the frequency or form of sharenting. The research results suggest that parents are mainly guided by personal preferences when sharing content about their children. Most of the parents consider sharing content about their children on social media a natural part of their lives. We found that parents are concerned about not knowing who can access the shared content. The risks associated with sharing content about children on social media perceived by parents are mainly misuse of photos and child abduction. Most parents inform their children about what content they want to share about them.

Bystander apathy has been a source of debate for decades. In the past half-century, psychologists developed theoretical frameworks to understand bystander activity, commonly referred to as bystander intervention models (BIMs). More recently, BIMs have been modified to facilitate initiatives to prevent various forms of online victimization. This chapter begins with a review of BIMs and recent applications of bystander intervention research to online environments. We also present several future directions for research along with applications for reducing technology-facilitated violence, including programming recommendations and theoretical development.
