Hinweis der Redaktion
Social media is nowadays very popular. It gained popularity in global scale (if we look at some numbers….) more than 50% of internet users consume social media
Changed the way information is disseminated (nearly instantaneous propagation of information, no barrier for content creation)
Influenced and altered lives of individuals: 71% of consumers make a purchase based on social media referrals, 36% of consumers use social media to research locations before traveling
Research community also benefits from the popularity of social media, this enormous volume of data has created new research challenges, e.g. How are we going to index this data to perform efficient search, then doing data mining in user data can discover some patterns on how people group and interact between each other, social media sites are good sources for multimedia content that can be later processed and analyzed.
