...Reaction Paper Regarding the Flow of Influence and Social Meaning Across Social Media Networks Mahalia Miller Daniel Wiesenthal October 6, 2010 1 Introduction One topic of current interest is how language and sentiments are transmitted in the blogosphere and how individuals affect the sentiments of those in their online sphere of influence. Therefore, the focus of this reaction paper is threefold: (1) to summarize four journal papers related to sentiments and influence, (2) to critique the methods and scope of the journal papers and (3) to brainstorm directions for the term project. 2 2.1 Literature review Java et al. 2006 Java et al. (2006) explore models that determine the blogs with the most influence on the Blogosphere. The paper defines influence as a link from blog a to blog b implies that a influences blog b. They further create an influence graph that weights edges by a function of the amount of links. This paper evaluates various heuristics, such as Pagerank, indegree, and greedy algorithm, to determine which blogs have the most influence on the Blogosphere. The analysis shows that PageRank is rather efficient and converges quickly. The paper also analyzes the effect of splogs, i.e. spam blogs. The results indicate that not removing splogs greatly impacts the accuracy of the influence models. As such, the paper uses some algorithms to identify splogs, and then, and only then, do the heuristics converge to within 70% agreement on the predicted number of influenced...

...Internet was an impulse for cultural, economic and social development. In our daily life we cannot dispense with these things and it is hard to imagine that nearly 50 years ago all these technologies were only a dream. In this course paper I will try to find out why new mediums became so popular and whether old mediums will yield to new mediums. Keywords: new medium, old medium, Internet, video games, TV Blogging and Online Publishing Description and a brief history Nowadays blogging is very popular. There are different types of blogs, for example, new blogs, music blogs, blogs for entertainment etc. Practically everyone is reading blogs today. The history of blogging started in 1994. The first person who created a blog was Justin Hall. He was a student of a Swarthmore College. The first blog was Links.net. Of course, nobody called it a blog, it was only a homepage. The term “weblog” was created in 1997 by John Barger. The first example of blogging was fixed at the news site in 1998. The first author of the blog was Jonathan Dube. He created a blog with information about Hurricane Bonnie. In 1999, the term “weblog” was shortened to “blog” by Peter Merholz.

When we hear about this topic it is primarily known as women’s issues that some good men help out with. This is not a women’s issue this is a man’s issue, when we as men start to turn a blind eye we are just as guilty as the person committing the crime.

...Abstract This paper will discuss the marketing analysis of the www.belts.com website. I will discuss some marketing concepts that will be analyzed. Marketing concepts that I will discuss are one-to-one, affiliate, viral, blog, and social network marketing. Then I will summarize my analysis of the web site. One-to-one Marketing One-to-one marketing is an approach that concentrates on providing services or products to one customer at a time by identifying and then meeting their individual needs. Its goal is to repeat this process many times with each customer, such that powerful lifetime relationships are developed. In turn it makes a distinction of customers rather than just products (Peters & Roger 1994). One to One Marketing is more than a sales approach. It's an integrated approach that must filter through all parts of an organization: marketing, sales, production, service, finance, and other departments. One to One Marketing recognizes that lifetime values of loyal customers who make repeat purchases far exceeding those of unpredictable customers who frequently switch suppliers in pursuit of a bargain. After reviewing the www.belts.com web site, I did not notice anything that stated the company uses this one-to-one marking concept. Affiliate Marketing According to Laudon & Traver, the definition of affiliate marketing is the online application of obtaining referrals. One website agrees to pay another website or an individual writing a blog a commission for...

...End”. It was an article from the Washington Post, my grandfather, has written it. It goes back in time and describes all the different circumstances in Russia. More like a news blog of current time. My grandmother gave it to me and let me read it. It really caught me off guard; I just wasn’t expecting to find something big like this. I think it’s pretty cool. “All I knew about what was going on in Russia was what I gleaned from the news. And the news, of course, is mostly focused on politics and catastrophic events, such as the Kursk submarine sinking and terrorist attacks. For that reason, I wanted to keep this blog as apolitical as possible, and as focused on the ordinary lives of ordinary people as I could make it. I wanted to know how Russians were really living -- not just how their politicians and oligarchs were faring.” This came straight from one of the posts in the blogs paper. His overall mission was to find and see what life in Russian really was like years later. Russia was really suffering in poverty after my great-great-grandfather passed away. His family all wanted to have a fresh start, so moving to America sounded like a good idea. After living in America for a couple of years, my grandfather wanted to go back and visit Russia for the last time. While visiting, he has created a blog that explains how life changed to the better after poverty. Overall, he has visited 12 cities, all materially improved. The scientists at Lake Baikal were enjoying increased...

...Andrew Sullivan, blog lover explains why he loves to blog in his essay “Why I Blog”. He thinks it is modern type of newspaper where you write a blog and you also get reviews of readers and what they think. This means he had definitely wrote many blogs as he thinks it is easier to let others know what is going on in the world through a blog. In his essay he talks about one of his blog about 911. He shows how he got close to the readers and what opinions he got from his readers in his essay. Sullivan reminds me of my older sister, Nicole. She also loves blogging. One of the reason she enjoys blogging is she thinks she is really good at writing and I also think the same. And another is she loves when people read what she wrote and gives her feedback. I personally do not like to blog and I had never read one. Sometime Nicole forces me to read at least one of her blog but I denied her every time. I feel very less people uses blog to share what is going on. Because nowadays people are busy using apps like Facebook, Twitter and online news paper. I hardly new any people who reads blog now. People are on Facebook 24/7 and I think one can be easily updated if they have any kind of social media. As we all know about Ice Bucket Challenge which was unknown since last year, but this year it spreader within two weeks in all over the world through social media. Now everyone knows about Ice Bucket Challenge, and I personally think if someone wrote a blog about this then it would not reach the...

...The Blogging Styles of Yours Truly Larina Bridenstine PHI/221 8-30-2014 Dr. Steve Wyre The Blogging Styles Of Yours Truly Part One Well hello all you wonderful people out there!!! Today I want to talk about critical thinking. I know, why Larina would you want to talk about this? Well it is easy. We have way too many hot heads out there that do not use this skill enough. We have people who have road rage and don’t think. We have those over protective momma bears out there that well… they just go off on the any big bad wolf who threatens their cubs. So lets get started! Well what is critical thinking? Critical thinking is that mode of thinking - about any subject, content, or problem - in which the thinker improves the quality of his or her thinking by skillfully taking charge of the structures inherent in thinking and imposing intellectual standards upon them. (2013) In layman’s terms it means we need to really think about what we are going to say or do or say. What are some of the characteristics of a good critical thinker? Well the first one I would like to talk about is Analytical skills . This is where you can analyze and have logical support for your arguments or beliefs. For example: Johnny down the street won’t come outside to play. Well I bet if you get Betty Lou to come out and wash the car Johnny will be sure to come out. See I looked at the problem and put a logical reason to it. The second one I have for you all is communication and literacy skills...
