- IST 590 Colloquium: Dr. Dan Cosley (4/30) Apr 30, 2012 from 11:15 AM to 12:30 PM — 110 IST building,
- People create enormous amounts of content in social media such as Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, and Blogger—and because these media focus on awareness and current activity, most of this content disappears under the sea of the new, never to be seen again. In this talk we’ll explore how systems can re-use these data to help create computational, social science, and personal knowledge. We’ll use case studies around collaboration in Wikipedia, making sense of relationships in Facebook, and supporting personal reflection using social media to illuminate major themes around re-using these past data, including the value of multi-method approaches, the need to consider what is left out in online contexts, the potential of helping people use these data to better understand themselves, and the value of doing work that combines research, commercial, and personal interests.
