The present comparative study between the students of Agriculture and Health Science concentrate more precisely on the students who come to the library. The research explores how the students create identity for themselves in the virtual world and how they relate to others online. It analyzes the cultural differences from the youth perspective and discusses whether social networking sites isolate youngsters from the society or help them to build relationships; the participation in these sites is also explored. The study is based on a survey. Students completed a questionnaire which assessed personal use of social media when communicating with friends and family. The findings disclosed that social networking is gaining popularity among them. Facebook is the most popular and used social networking site followed by WhatsApp and Google plus.","PeriodicalId":90871,"journal":{"name":"International journal of virtual communities and social networking","volume":"83 1","pages":"51-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80347505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Users can use these devices to comment or rate a TV show and search for related information regarding characters, facts or personalities. This phenomenon is known as second screen. This paper describes SAM, an EU-funded research project that focuses on developing an advanced digital media delivery platform based on second screen interaction and content syndication within a social media context, providing open and standardised ways of characterising, discovering and syndicating digital assets. This work provides an overview of the project and its main objectives, focusing on the NLP challenges to be faced and the technologies developed so far.","PeriodicalId":90871,"journal":{"name":"International journal of virtual communities and social networking","volume":"5 1","pages":"50-69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84477696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tool is based on community-aware semantic services and offer architecture, with three layers semantic query, community management and semantic services. The most innovative characteristic of the tool is that it profits from the potential of semantic representation techniques to express context constraints and community's interests, while they may be useful to generate and manage of complex dynamic adaptation process. This tool improves assembly of relevant adaptation services for communities inferred social influence from a Facebook as virtual P2P environment. The proposed approach has been validated through a prototype for mobiles user of multimedia contents exchanges.

It has also spawned a prodigious amount of research. However, in the IS field there is a paucity of technical research in mobile computing. The authors justify this position via a survey of the literature as well as a survey of leading conferences in IS. Predictably, the IS field is focused on impact and usage studies rather than design so this is a tremendous opportunity for the field. According to the authors' survey of IS conferences that includes over 8,500 articles, the number of publications dealing with technical research is only 0.53%. This is clearly cause for concern. The authors' position is that the IS field could have a major role in the design and development of the device and that the design science methodology with its focus on artifacts is an appropriate methodology for this exciting field.","PeriodicalId":90871,"journal":{"name":"International journal of virtual communities and social networking","volume":"46 1","pages":"36-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83744797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As such, several major question areas arise: 1 As an extension of identity, how does a user customize his/her avatar? How is the avatar's appearance related to the avatar creator's self-concept? 2 How does avatar creation influence the avatar creator's psychological and behavioral consequences? To answer these questions, the current study leveraged a Korean social networking site, which currently provides avatars called \"Minimis,\" in a randomized experimental setting. This study found that the more the participants perceived their avatars to look like their desired selves, the more likely they evaluated their avatars as being attractive, credible, confident, cool, capable, and persuasive, but failed to find a significant relationship between avatar users' perceptions toward self-created avatars and their attitudes toward the social network site or ads.. The limitations and implications will be discussed.","PeriodicalId":90871,"journal":{"name":"International journal of virtual communities and social networking","volume":"77 1","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75006622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In its most complete form, social CRM is a concept and a practice that integrates social media and social networking with traditional CRM technologies, processes and practices in order to bring about a superior engagement with customers including improved customer service, leading, hopefully, to improved revenues and profits for adopting businesses. This paper reviews the academic and practitioner literatures on social CRM, makes a broad comparison between the two literatures, and then, based on an assessment of the literature, specifies possible new research directions and opportunities. In terms of the findings, the literature review revealed that academic research in social CRM focused, unsurprisingly, on the theoretical notion of social CRM and on specifying the key processes for it, whereas the practitioner literature focused on how to respond to the challenges of social media and capitalise on the opportunities presented by such media.","PeriodicalId":90871,"journal":{"name":"International journal of virtual communities and social networking","volume":"230 1","pages":"14-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88993094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, a research programme was devised to evaluate an ePedagogy, which involves the interactive effects of online instructional strategies enhanced with text-plus-textual metaphors or text-plus-graphical metaphors, and cognitive preference for learning basic programming concepts. The QUEST Interactive Test Analysis System was used to measure cognitive performance, ensuring an absence of error measurement in the programming knowledge testing instruments. Reliability of these instruments was therefore assured through the calibration afforded by the QUEST estimate that provided predictability of the research design.
