Hello All, I was wondering if anyone could suggests journal articles or other readings on "autocomplete" particularly with respect to the big search engines like Google and Yahoo! (and I guess Bing now). Thank you in advance for you assistance. Best, JM ________________________________ Jasmine McNealy, J.D., Ph.D. Assistant Professor S.I.

============================================================================================ Academic MindTrek Conference 2012: Last Call for Papers, Extended Abstracts, Posters, Demonstrations, Workshops, Tutorials 3rd-5th October, 2012 Tampere, Finland http://www.academicmindtrek.org, http://www.mindtrek.org * SOCIAL MEDIA * AMBIENT MEDIA * MEDIA MANAGEMENT * HCI * OPEN SOURCE * DIGITAL GAMES * Long and short papers, posters, demonstrations, and extended abstracts due on: 3rd JUNE 2012 (LAST CALL) Tutorials and Workshops due on: 1st JUNE 2012 in cooperation with ACM, ACM SIGMM, and ACM SIGCHI contributions will be published in the ACM digital library and a selected set of high-level work will be published as book chapters or in journals ============================================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS, EXTENDED ABSTRACTS, POSTERS, DEMONSTRATIONS, WORKSHOPS & TUTORIALS We are pleased to invite you to the Academic MindTrek conference, 3rd ? 5th October 2012, which brings together a cross-disciplinary crowd of people to investigate current and emerging topics of media in the ubiquitous arena. The conference explores academically the emerging and frontier-breaking applications of new media in everyday contexts of leisure, business and organizational life. October 3rd is the main Academic MindTrek day. Due increasing popularity of the conference, we are extending the scope of Academic MindTrek 2012! The academic conference features six major themes: * Social Media * Ambient & Ubiquitous Media * Business & Media * Human-Computer Interaction (new track!) * Open Source * Digital Games SOCIAL MEDIA ?Get social!? Social media and Web 2.0 technologies are applied in ever diverse practices both in private and public communities. Totally new business models are emerging, traditional communication and expression modalities are challenged, and new practices are constructed in the collaborative, interactive media space. AMBIENT AND UBIQUITOUS MEDIA ?The medium is the message!? ? This conference track focuses on the definition of ambient and ubiquitous media with a cross-disciplinary viewpoint: ambient media between technology, art, and content. The focus of this track is on applications, location based services, ubiquitous computation, augmented reality, theory, art-works, mixed reality concepts, the Web 3.0, and user experiences that make ubiquitous and ambient media tick. MEDIA BUSINESS, MEDIA PRODUCTION AND MEDIA MANAGEMENT Media business and media management face the challenges of the emergence of new forms of digital media. This theme focuses on business studies, policies, practices, and organizational structure of media firms. It discusses competition, patterns of media usage, advertising models, and how traditional media can cope with the challenges coming from digital media focusing on media business and media management issues. HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION (HCI) The wide field of HCI is to discuss issues around human computer interaction modalities, consumer experience, design of computer systems, human aspects, universal media access, ergonomics, communication, novel interaction modalities, privacy, trusted systems, interaction theories, and sociological and psychological factors. This theme of devotes to several of these aspects, and is targeted to the scientific community dealing with several applied and theoretical aspects of HCI and user experience. OPEN SOURCE The last decade has seen a significant increase in open source initiatives such as open source software, open standards, open content, open media, or even open source hardware. On the one hand, the open movement has created new kinds of opportunities such as new business models and development approaches. On the other hand, it has introduced new kinds of technical and non-technical challenges. DIGITAL GAMES The culture and business of digital games is becoming increasingly varied. The current trends range from novel interface innovations and digital distribution channels to social game dynamics and player-generated content. The games track is open for theoretical works, empirical case studies and constructive projects. DEMONSTRATIONS The aim is to gather demonstrations from researchers and professionals from the communities related to the topics of MindTrek. The objective for the demonstrations is to provide a forum for exchanging experiences, practical projects, or media demonstrators. The target audience includes members of the academic community, industry, or laboratories who can demonstrate the results of their research projects with a practical implementation. ACADEMIC MINDTREK AS A CONFERENCE In addition, special academic sessions (e.g. tutorials, demonstrations, workshops, and multidisciplinary sessions) will be held parallel to the MindTrek business conference. Academic speakers and authors are warmly welcome to register for the business conference tracks as part of the academic conference with our special registration rate. The Academic MindTrek registration includes full service such as coffees, lunches, and social gatherings. The MindTrek Association hosts MindTrek as a yearly conference, where the Academic MindTrek conference has been a part of this unique set of events comprising competitions, world famous keynote speakers, plenary sessions, media festivals, and workshops since 1997. It is a meeting place where experts and thinkers present results from their latest work regarding the development of Internet, interactive media, and the information society. MindTrek brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines that are involved in the development of media in various fields, ranging from sociology and the economy, to technology.

UK Gov consultation on digital consumer rights
by Ren Reynolds 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

[usual if this is a re-post, don't think my other email is registered here] The UK Government’s Department of Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) launched a consultation titled “Consultation on enhancing consumer confidence by clarifying consumer law”. The deadline for the consultation is 5 October 2012. The consultation proposes a range of options that seek to harmonise UK consumer law. What marks this out for digital industries such as social media, cloud computing, computer games, music services etc is that as part of the consultation the UK Government is proposing options for a set of consumer rights designed specifically for ‘Digital Content’. In short the proposal is to bring UK / European notions of consumer rights to the digital arena i.e. putting in place statutory notions of quality and rights such as return. The consultation makes direct or side reference to famous cases such as Amazon removing 1984 from Kindles and Sony forcing patches on users that stopped PS/3's running linux. Some of the proposed options would mean that companies would not simply have these rights. What's more the consultation makes is clear that the rights apply to all companies selling to the UK (wherever they are based) and they cannot be contracted out of. tVPN have created a short summary of the consultation here: http://www.virtualpolicy.net/ukcontentrights.html We are very interested in hearing from legal and other academics who would be interested in contributing to a joint response - see the link above for details. ren Ren Reynolds FRSA Founder: the Virtual Policy Network www.virtualpolicy.net --8<-- web: www.renreynolds.com Think Tank: www.virtualpolicy.net blog: terranova.blogs.com Skype: RenZephyr http://www.linkedin.com/in/renreynolds

Inclusion of short links in academic publications?
by yana breindl 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Thank you all for your comments! The reason I asked is not because of a word limit but because one of my committee members suggested I'd use short links to ease access for readers of the print dissertation. I do have quite a lot of electronic sources as footnotes in some of the chapters and he mentioned he'd have typed a shortened url but not a long one. An alternative would be to include short urls in the footnotes and add an appendix with corresponding long links. I'm not sure it's worth the hassle though.

tools to extract data from Facebook public pages and open groups
by Hale, Timothy M. 11 Aug '12

11 Aug '12

Hi everyone, I am looking for a tool that will extract content from Facebook public Pages and open Groups. I am not interested in collecting user profile data or conducting any type of network analysis - although tools that can collect additional data that fits my needs might work. Ideally, I am looking for a tool that can collect from specified Pages/Groups the entire set of comments and posts to the Page/Group, and if possible, "Likes" and other forms of user activity. I am considering a research project analyzing content of Pages and Groups and would like an alternative to creating PDFs and manually entering data. Thanks for your help!

Re: [Air-L] Is there any published research on "trolling"?
by Thomas Jones 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

It looks like my autocorrect got the best of my email ha! I'm didn't mean to state they are highly intelligent in their social awkwardness. I intended to communicate that they (trolls) are often highly intelligent, and often challenged by social awkwardness. I was closely identified but not diagnosed with aspergers myself, but fortunately I "grew out of it" so to speak. There isn't an exact parallel between trolls and aspergers, that isnt really my point, but rather that they share similarities for analogous purposes.

About Aspergers sufferers, I dont know what your experience of individuals with aspergers is but I wouldnt say they are highly intelligent in their social awkwardness. They can be highly intelligent yes, but they are not just socially awkward, they have major difficulties with the social, which is a central part of their issue. So to compare trolls as tending to be introverted and akin to aspergers is a bit off the mark. Aspergers sufferers are not just geeky and socially awkward there are truly more complex issues at stake. I have made my suggestions to Tom in an individual email earlier, but I hope you and others dont mind my intervention. I felt I really had to point this out.

IR 13.0 Pre-conference workshop: The Internet, Mobile Media, and Journalism: Technologies of News in the 21st Century
by Attwood, Feona 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Announcing our second pre-conference workshop led by Holly Kruse and Sabryna Cornish The Internet, Mobile Media, and Journalism: Technologies of News in the 21st Century Over the past several years, journalism has undergone profound changes as people seeking information increasingly turned to the internet and mobile apps for news and commentary. Some traditional news outlets, like the New York Times and the Times of London, have instituted paywalls to recoup lost sales revenue. Others, like the Christian Science Monitor, stopped publishing print editions altogether and now exist only online. Many journalists working in print media lost their jobs, while reporting done by “citizen journalists” using platforms like blogs, YouTube, and Twitter, became increasingly central to the dissemination of news. A recent poll of prominent U.S. journalists who work for traditional national news media conducted by the Atlantic and the National Journal found that a majority of these journalists believe that journalism has been hurt more than helped by Internet. Is this in fact the case? What is the state of reporting in the digital age, an age in which, for instance, bloggers writing from embattled neighborhoods in Syria give information that is picked up by mainstream news outlets whose reporters can’t reach these locations? Or, conversely, what is the state of reporting when bloggers from less “newsworthy” locations, like inner city neighborhoods, write about experiences that don’t fit traditional news narratives but now have an opportunity to at least try to broadcast their stories via the web? Questions that participants in this pre-conference seminar might address in their papers and papers-in-progress include: * How have traditional news media responded to new media – for instance, by offering news on a “third screen” or entering into ventures with new media companies – and how effective have these forays been? * What constitutes a citizen journalist, and what effects are citizen journalists having as sources of information for the public and for more established media outlets? How has the internet affected reporting and its practices? * What is the role of the online news audience in the creation and dissemination of news when compared to the audience of print news? * What effect have the internet and mobile media had on reporting on breaking news and on crisis communication? * How has in-depth investigative reporting been affected by the emergence of the internet and mobile media as crucial sources of news? * What opportunities has the internet afforded writers, including those in marginalized social and economic groups, that they wouldn’t have had in traditional media? * How have print and broadcast media covered the development of digital news media? * Has the content of news changed as digital and mobile media as sources of news grown more popular? * Who are the gatekeepers in the new news environment, and what role do online gatekeepers play? * What are the social and cultural implications – locally, regionally, nationally, and globally – for the declining popularity of print news media and the growth of digital news media? Participants in this pre-conference seminar are invited to investigate these questions and interrogate mainstream understandings of the nature of digital and print news sources and their audiences, and the relations between and among them. This pre-conference will be a half-day seminar and workshop in which each participant will present his/her current research on a relevant topic, and each presentation will be followed by discussion. If you are interested in participating, please submit a working paper or paper proposal of approximately 200-500 words to Holly Kruse at hkruse(a)rsu.edu by August 13th. Submissions will be reviewed, and those accepted to the seminar will be notified by August 27th.
