Abstract

Social media --- online services that encourage content sharing through individual participation --- have encouraged and enabled people to share various types of information in social and public settings. Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Blogger, MySpace and their likes have become platforms where millions of participants share nuggets of their life, their knowledge, their creations and their opinions in various manners: from blog posts, to status updates, to multimedia content such as photos and videos.
