Hello, I'm the Socially Inept Semantic Web By Jessica Espejel
2004 - Left Harvard University; start ● working at Facebook ● 2006 - Created the News Feed ● 2009 - Wore a tie for a whole year. 2010 - Started learning Mandarin ● Chinese. ● 2011 - Became a vegetarian. ● 2012 - Registered as an organ donor and married Priscilla Chan. ● October 4, 2012, Mark Zuckerberg posted a celebratory status after reaching 1 billion active Facebook users http://moritzbappert.com/blog/how-i-met-mark-zuckerberg/ ● Only 188,106 friends ‘liked’ his brand video update, “The Things that Connect Us”. Meet Mark Zuckerberg
Era of Social Web ● Signified by the relationships you have in the web ● Relationships with other people, organizations, beliefs, materials, etc. ● Relationships between information you accept and information you ignore ● "People powered news" Social Networking Sites (SNS) Blogs Wikis
Managing with the Semantic Web Definition: "an extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation" The ideal Semantic Web will gather a better interconnection of data through semantic terms and connections that is relevant to what is desired to be obtained from all related spaces in the web
Project Details To find the disadvantages of the Social Semantic Web -User privacy -Data profiting by large corporations
Not-so-private Scandals on Social Web ● Teacher in MA loses her job after updating her Facebook status ○ referred to students as 'germbags' and parents ‘snobby’ and ‘arrogant’ ● The Weinergate ○ leaked photo on Twitter of Anthony Weiner's hmmm... ● Denise Helms from CA wrote on Facebook about President: “Another 4 years of this (N-word). Maybe he will get assassinated this term”. ○ considered a threat by the Secret Services
Privacy Issues - Global Site Governance - Facebook "Almost 13 million users said they had never set, or didn't know about, Facebook's privacy tools. And 28 percent shared all, or almost all, of their wall posts with an audience wider than just their friends" (Consumerreports.org)
Data Profiting CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos -goal to create a personalized store that would introduce products related to other products they want -'cybernetics' -follows customers based on their ‘click signals’
If you're not paying for something, you're not the customer, you're the product being sold! - Andrew Lewis AKA Blue_Beetle
Corporations that make money off your data! Acxiom EVERYONE! Blue-Kai TargusInfo Rubicon Project Facebook Kayak Twitter Verizon AT&T
Conclusion The interconnection of social sites driven by semantic technologies hope to bring forth related and prevalent information to users. Unfortunately, it cannot be fully executed in the Social Web due to: -the issue of users unintentionally surrendering their privacy and data -the hesitation by large corporations and online sites to connect their information semantically based on the financial investment and monopoly of data profiting
