Is it Really About Me? Message Content in Social Awareness Streams

The Abstract as taken from the report: "In this work the authors (Mor Naaman, Jeffrey Boase, Chih-Hui Lai of the Rutgers University, School of Communication and Information) examine the characteristics of social activity and patterns of communication on Twitter, a prominent example of the emerging class of communication systems [they] call “social awareness streams.” [They] use system data and message content from over 350 Twitter users, applying human coding and quantitative analysis to provide a deeper understanding of the activity of individuals on the Twitter network. In particular, [they] develop a content-based categorization of the type of messages posted by Twitter users, based on which [they] examine users’ activity. [Their] analysis shows two common types of user behavior in terms of the content of the posted messages, and exposes differences between users in respect to these activities."

The future of the social web

The world is changing and becoming more connected, networked, open-sourced, and community-driven. What does this really mean? We can't ignore it. It impacts our personal lives, our businesses and or institutions. One aspect of all of this that is irrefutable is that we are most likely to succeed when we engage in the power of pull. Forrester recently released a report on this topic.

My work at Deloitte's Center for the Edge has been instrumental in helping me better understand the major social web shift taking place and the implications thereof.
