Death by a thousand likes: How Facebook and Twitter are killing the open web

Publications depend on advertising dollars to keep producing content, so they need to hold readers’ attention. Big platforms like Facebook and Twitter already have plenty of attention, but they need vast quantities of content to fill up their newsfeeds. It seems natural, then, that publications have started relying on platforms to drive readership

A Brief History of People Getting Fired for Social Media Stupidity


Social Networking News


Not a day goes by, it seems, without a new story of someone posting an unbelievably tasteless, offensive, stupid, racist, homophobic, sexist or otherwise inappropriate thing on social media. Bigotry expressed in private is inexcusable, but bigotry voluntarily scribbled upon the un-erasable blackboard that is the Internet is a new kind of unbelievable. It boggles the mind that people will actually document and broadcast their terrible ideas online

Post-it notes: Innovator will share secrets of social media

http://socialnetworkingnews.org/post-it-notes-innovator-will-share-secrets-of-social-media-3/


The dirty secret of social media is that almost everyone will miss almost everything you do on social media, said Sree Sreenivasan, a digital innovator who will headline a workshop Tuesday at Point Park University on the latest trends in mobile, video and apps.


That doesn’t mean Facebook and Twitter are a waste of time. These sites can bring attention to an idea faster and better than any other platform, he said.


“Social media is misunderstood,” said Sreenivasan, the chief digital officer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

These women used social media to reclaim their bodies

http://socialnetworkingnews.org/these-women-used-social-media-to-reclaim-their-bodies/


Sukki Singapora is the kind of person who electrifies the Internet.


Her bright blue hair falls in waves around her neckline as she discusses, over Skype from London, her passion and art form: burlesque dancing. She talks eagerly about confronting the patriarchy of her native home Singapore with a simple desire to express her sexuality.


Even in pixels, Singapora’s charisma is contagious.


Being armed with a digital megaphone is clearly the life for which Singapora was destined, though it began by accident. As a teenager, she discovered burlesque dancing on the Internet and was intrigued by the style of strip-tease, often performed for audiences of women.

In the latest twist on high school cheating, two Maryland 10th-graders taking a statewide English assessment posted test questions this month on Twitter.


Where students once passed notes or looked over their shoulder, today they can use Twitter, Instagram or Facebook to send a test question to a friend. And as the means of cheating have evolved, so have the efforts to stop them. The Twitter posters were caught by a testing company trolling social media with advanced software that works continuously to find key words or phrases.

The smartphone video live-streaming service, Meerkat, was flying high. Launched in February, two weeks before South by Southwest, the app won over the geek elite. Meerkat had the video chops programmed in, and it used the Twitter social network to connect users to each other and tell them when their friends were live online.


All was going swimmingly, until Twitter put the brakes on Meerkat’s access. Twitter, it turns out, is preparing to launch its own video service, based on the startup Periscope

How does social media use influence political participation and civic engagement? A meta-analysis

Academic research has consistently found that people who consume more news media have a greater probability of being civically and politically engaged across a variety of measures. But in an era when the public’s time and attention is increasingly directed toward platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, scholars have sought to evaluate the still-emerging relationship between social media use and public engagement. The Obama presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2012 and the Arab Spring in 2011 catalyzed interest in networked digital connectivity and political action, but the data remain far from conclusive.

Twitter turns 9 years old this weekend. The social network has grown into something used by every U.S. governor, senator, and most House members, and it’s a newswire for politicians, journalists, and political junkies alike.


Here’s how the Post described it in a 2008 story (it took 379 characters):


“Twitter, a social-networking site, lets its users constantly update, or “tweet,” their friends, acquaintances, and potentially anybody else with a Web connection, with short, often mundane messages like “heading to the library,” “feeling sad,” or “working late.” Entries are limited to 140 characters, so the typical update is only a sentence or two, like a super-short blog post

How social media can tank your finances

http://socialnetworkingnews.org/how-social-media-can-tank-your-finances-2/


Selfies and social media are bad for your finances.


Keeping up with the Joneses has been made a whole lot harder as a result of people posting selfies of themselves doing fabulous stuff on Facebook and Instagram. If you’re a friend of the Joneses, you may know every restaurant and bar they’ve sampled, the beaches they’ve visited, the concerts they’ve seen and all the marvellous things their kids have done. People have always felt pressure to spend like their friends, but now it’s a continuous, almost real-time distraction.

Why NASA Is Betting SpaceX Can Help Reinvent the Shuttle Program (Q&A)

http://socialnetworkingnews.org/why-nasa-is-betting-spacex-can-help-reinvent-the-shuttle-program-qa-3/


When former NASA astronaut John Grunsfeld was in elementary school, America was racing Soviet Russia to the moon.


Today, the U.S. is launching astronauts into orbit on Russian rockets, and the U.S. space shuttle program is a thing of the past.


There’s a plan to revive it, albeit in a different form. Americans will launch their own astronauts to space again in 2017, if all goes according to plan, but it’ll require billions of dollars and a lot of help from outside NASA. A little flair from Elon Musk wouldn’t hurt, either.
