15. * Lovett (2011:31-32): Signal, or “signal to
noise ratio,” indicates that there is value in
the message. This excludes someone tweeting
what they had for lunch, which is definitely
noise. Typically, signal can be viewed as sharing
information, tagging with a hashtag, making a
reference via a hyperlink, or generally
contributing to the conversation.
* Noise: “… consumes your time and energy
without offering much payout.”
* Signal: “… offers streamlined information
that’s relevant to your cause.”

16. * Ubiquitous and pervasive computing: Mobile
and social media enables computing to be
woven into the social fabrics of our lives.
* The internet has taken a participatory turn:
Social data is added because it adds value to
the individual as well as overlaying purposes.
* Digital positivism: Epic Fail! Is it real, if it’s
not on social media.
*
17. *Participants are both individuals and
organisations.
*Participation is mutually constitutive.
*Potentially participants are both…
*Users

Endorsements that can be measured:
1. The ‘Like’ (Facebook, YouTube, etc)
2. The Check-in (Facebook, Foresquare)
3. The Photo (Instagram, Flickr, etc)
4. The Review (Yelp, TripAdvisor)
5. The Geo-located Post (Twitter, Facebook, and
many more)

Endorsement Ratios of
a University Campus –
Why do they differ?
> Local understanding is
needed.
Source - Note: Statistics for
Facebook Places is in BETA. We are
currently only monitoring places
that have received over a minimum
number of check-ins.

23. * Copenhagen Airport (3 separate entries in the Top 25, and
more than a quarter million check-ins in the top slot alone)
* International travel is often a positive experience, an adventure,
people like to document. It also doesn’t hurt that we have a
sensational airport.
* Also this hotbed for international people, whose exposure to say
Americans who have adopted twitter and foursquare more, might
mean there is a higher level of tweets and check-ins respectively.
*
25. * Tivoli and Christiania (more likes than check-ins)
* Two of the very top tourist attractions when you read
about Copenhagen in any guidebook (bringing up the
question again, what proportion of these social
currencies are tourists vs locals?)
* The like is making a statement, it associates you
with something. You become affiliated, endorsing
the place wholeheartedly and on an ongoing basis.
You are tying yourself to an idea of a place that you
like. Whereas the check-in makes a different
statement “Dave was here”, usually because he
wants to be and maybe even wants people to know
it.
*
26. * Fitness Centres (4 in the top 25, and all have a
dominance of check-ins – routines, inability to
like more than once)
* Many other comparisons can be made between
shopping centers (Fields vs Fisketorvet) or
between warm weather activities :Why does
Bakken have more check-ins and Amager
Strandpark more likes?)
