Software to extract content of Facebook & Twitter
by Cristina Aced 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hello all, I am looking for software that facilitates the extraction of content of Facebook pages. I am doing a research about how a sample of companies are using blogs, Twitter and Facebook. I want to apply content analysis but previously I need to extract the content. I am using R and the software OutWit Hub Pro to scrape the data on blogs and Twitter, but they are not working properly with Facebook (I think it is due to some restrictions of Facebook's API). Any other suggestions? Many thanks! *Cristina Aced * PhD Candidate Doctoral Programme in Knowledge and Information Society Universitat Oberta de Catalunya | caced(a)uoc.edu www.cristinaaced.com/blog | Twitter: @blogocorp

WebCultures: a new mailing list for web history and allied fields
by Michael Stevenson 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

*Apologies for cross-posting* Dear colleagues, Please consider subscribing to WebCultures, a new mailing list for web history and allied fields. http://listcultures.org/mailman/listinfo/webcultures_listcultures.org WebCultures aims to bring together a growing number of researchers in the fields of web and internet history as well as the many archivists, artists, theorists, ethnographers, social scientists, critics and practitioners whose work intersects with the history of the web and new media culture. Ideally, the list will provide relevant announcements as well as a space for rich discussion and collaboration, for example around the following topics and questions: Mapping the field What are established and emerging themes in web and internet history? Is it already possible to map a web historiography, in the sense of an overview of canonical questions, approaches and knowledge? How does existing work address the range of possible histories of web cultures, producers and users, media and communication forms, websites and platforms, web aesthetics, standards and protocols, software and programming languages, groups and institutions? Education Where do web and internet history fit in existing media studies and communications programs? What kinds of digital media history courses are being developed? Should students born in the 1990s learn about Gopher or the development of RSS - and if so, what are the best ways to interest and motivate them? Resources and methods What on- and offline archives related to web and internet history are available, and how else is this history being preserved? What methods and tools are available for web archiving and for mining existing web archives? How can knowledge of the specific problems involved in doing web history be pooled? Relationship to other domains How can web history build on existing work in media and communications history? What does it have to offer research focused on newer objects of study such as social media platforms and the Whatsapp generation of communication apps? Conversely, how does the appearance of these new objects affect how we view and research web history? Institutionalization What is the discipline’s status? What conferences, journals, funding opportunities and jobs are out there, or should be out there? Of course, this list of topics may prove to be too ambitious, or not ambitious enough. Hopefully, at the very least, the mailing list will provide a better sense of who’s working in this fast-growing field. For any questions or subscription issues, please contact the list administrator (me) at michael [at] webcultures.org.

JoPP special issue: Peer production, disruption and the law - call for debates, essays and interviews
by Angela Daly 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Peer production, disruption and the law - call for debates, essays and interviews We are now inviting contributions to this special edition of the Journal of Peer Production in the form of short essays of between 1000 and 3000 words to complement the longer peer reviewed articles that will appear in this edition of the journal, due to be published in December 2014 The contributions can be testimonies, working papers and critical essays by researchers and practitioners. Debates are essays by several authors expressing clearly contrasting viewpoints about a relevant issue. The deadline for these contributions is 24 October 2014 and should be sent to disruptlawissue(a)peerproduction.net. The contributions will be reviewed by the editors - Steve Collins (Macquarie) and Angela Daly (Swinburne/European University Institute) - and so will not be peer-reviewed. Please see here for more details on JoPP submissions and style: http://peerproduction.net/about/submissions/ Special edition description The disruption caused by new technologies and non-conventional methods of organisation have posed challenges for the law, confronting regulators with the need to balance justice with powerful interests. Experience from the “disruptions” of the late 20th century has shown that the response from incumbent industries can lead to a period of intense litigation and lobbying for laws that will maintain the status quo. For example, following its “Napster moment”, the music industry fought to maintain its grip on distribution channels through increased copyright enforcement and the longer copyright terms it managed to extract from the legislative process. The newspaper industry has similarly seen its historical revenue stream of classified ads disrupted by more efficient online listings, and responded to its own failure to capitalise on online advertising by launching legal campaigns against Google News in various European countries. Though the law as it stands may not be well-equipped to deal with disruptive episodes, the technological innovations of the last twenty years have created an environment that generates disruption. The Internet, the Web and networked personal computers have converged into the ubiquitous post-PC media device, leaving twentieth century paradigms of production, consumption and distribution under considerable threat. The latest technology to be added to this group of disruptive innovations may be 3D printing, which in recent times has become increasingly available and accessible to users in developed economies, whilst the manufacturing capacity of 3D printers has dramatically grown. Although current offerings on the market are far from a Star Trek-like “replicator”, the spectre of disruption has once again arrived, with the prospect of 3D printed guns inspiring a moral panic and raising questions of gun control, regulation, jurisdiction and effective control. In addition, 3D printing raises a number of issues regarding intellectual property, going far beyond the copyright problems that file-sharing brought about due to its production of physical objects. This special issue of the Journal of Peer Production calls for contributions that deal with the intersection of peer production, disruptive technologies and the law. Potential topics include, but are not restricted to: - The threat posed by peer production to legacy industries - The regulation of disruptive technologies through the rule of law or embedded rights management - Lobbying strategies of incumbent players to stymie disruptive technologies - Emergent economies or practices as a result of disruptive technologies - Extra-legal norm formation in peer production communities around disruptive technologies - Historical perspectives on the legal status of collaborative projects - Critical legal approaches to technology, disruption and peer production - The role and ability of the law (which differs across jurisdictions) in regulating autonomous production - The resilience of law in the face of social and technological change - The theories and assumptions which continue to underpin laws rendered obsolete by social and technological change

SAME 2014@NORDCHI - Ambient & Smart Media Usability, Interaction, and Media Technologies - 2nd SEPTEMBER 2014 (extended)
by Artur Lugmayr 22 Aug '14

22 Aug '14

============================================================================== NordiCHI 2014 Workshop Ambient & Smart Media Usability, Interaction, and Media Technologies 6th International Workshop on Semantic Ambient Media Experiences (SAME 2014) SUBMISSION DEADLINE (EXTENDED!!!): 2nd SEPTEMBER 2014 NordiCHI Website: http://nordichi2014.org/ Workshop Website: http://www.tut.fi/emmi/WWW/ameanew/same2014 Submission System: http://www.ambientmediaassociation.org/Submissions/2014SAME/ NOTE! The workshop series is indexed by Scopus, and we plan to have a special journal issue... Publications The Workshop proceedings will be published in the International Series on Information Systems & Management in Creative eMedia (indexed by Scopus!): https://www.ambientmediaassociation.org/Journal/ The workshop is in-corporated with the AIS SIG-eMedia (http://aisnet.org/group/SIG-eMedia) and iAMEA ? The International Association for Ambient Media (www.ambientmediaassociation.org) Workshop Chairs Estefan?a Serral Asensio, KU Leuven, Belgium, estefania.serralasensio(a)kuleuven.be Thomas Risse, L3S Research Center, University of Hanover, Germany, risse(a)L3S.de Artur Lugmayr, University of Technology (TUT) & lugYmedia Inc, Finland, artur.lugmayr(a)tut.fi Bjoern Stockleben, Univ. of Applied Sciences Magdeburg, Germany, bjoern.stockleben(a)gmail.com Emilija Stojmenova, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, emilija.stojmenova(a)ltfe.org ============================================================================== 1 Motivation and Objectives of the Workshop ============================================================================== Ambient (aka pervasive, ubiquitous) media environments offer a plethora of context data as well as opportunities for context-related content production and consumption. They are the perfect environments for providing users with highly contextualized data-driven services and data-driven visual and additive content. To build such ambient media environments, semantics play an essential role to deal with a seamless integration of the urban context as well as the digital services to be provided. The application areas range from smart cars, urban informatics, smart homes, ambient assisted living, smart media environments, and new interaction devices. We aim to bring together communities involved in different semantic applications needed for the creation of ambient media environments, like: digital services, media interoperability, open data, user interfaces, human-computer interaction, user-centred and interaction design, user experience, business modelling, knowledge management, etc. This will allow identifying common themes between the participant's current work and research agenda, and, eventually, leading to the discovery of new insights and opportunities. The primary research goal is to assess new trends for applying semantics in digital services for urban contexts and the disciplines involved in the creation of these services. The workshop organizers have extensive experiences in organizing high level workshops through the non-profit International Ambient Media Association (AMEA) they founded. The organizers have also established an own free open access series and journal within the association, attracted large audiences, and disseminated the results through high level journal special issues as e.g. Springer-Verlag?s Multimedia Tools & Applications. 2 Topics of the Workshop ============================================================================== In line with the above, contributions to the workshop should propose applications of applications and services in the domain of ubiquitous media centering on usability, interaction, and intelligent interaction focused on, but not limited to ubiquitous/ambient usability: - Ambient Intelligent Semantics & Technologies o Vocabularies, ontologies & linked data for urban environments o Context-data aggregation and context awareness o Semantics of usage contexts and sensor data o Context adaptive services o Service interoperability o Implementation and evaluation of urban services o Ambient and ubiquitous devices - Ambient Intelligent Presentation and Interaction o Service interoperability o Usage of ambient media for increasing application usability o Methods and best practices for urban service design o Usability in ubiquitous smart systems o Ubiquitous human-computer interaction o User experience, needs and user studies o New smart media based user interfaces - Emerging Ambient Services & Applications o Smart cars, smart cities, smart urban environments o Big data, opened data, and linked data applications o New smart media based interfaces o User-driven content and semantic data generation o Smart media environments o Unobtrusive mobile applications o Non-screen based user interfaces o Trust and security 3 Target Audience ============================================================================== The target audiences to be addressed by this workshop are communities involved in the creation of ambient intelligence systems for urban environments, digital services, media interoperability, open data, user interaction design, business modelling, knowledge management, etc. As the workshop organizers are from different institutions and research perspectives, and from academic and from industry, a high number of attendees is expected. We expect approx. 15-25 attendees to allow a reasonable number of working groups (see Section 4 ?Workshop Format?). 4 Workshop Format and Activities ============================================================================== The workshop is part of a larger set of initiatives and is supported and incorporated with: * iAMEA ? International Association of Ambient Media Ry (www.ambientmediaassociation.org) * the Association of Information Systems (AIS) Special Interest Group (SIG) SIG-eMedia (aisnet.org/group/SIG-eMedia) * iAMEA established an open access journal and series (indexed in Scopus, and within the Finnish publication ranking system) o International Journal on Information Systems and Management in Creative eMedia o International Series on Information Systems and Management in Creative eMedia The workshop will be a full-day workshop grouped into several sessions. We allow the submission of papers up to 10 pages which will be peer-reviewed by members of the program committee. After the workshop, it is planned that the results of the group work are consolidated in a journal paper to be published in the special issue of the Springer journal on ?Multimedia Tools and Applications?. Also the authors of the best accepted papers of SAME workshop will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to the special issue. Respective arrangements with Springer are on the way for the proposed workshop. 5 Submission Guidlines ============================================================================== Please follow the submission guidlines for NordiCHI papers on: http://nordichi2014.org/submissions/papers/. Workshop papers can be 5-10 pages long, however, they need to fulfill the submission guidelines of NordiCHI. Please submit your papers on: http://www.ambientmediaassociation.org/Submissions/2014SAME/
