Transparency in Social Media: Tools, Methods and Algorithms for Mediating Online Interactions
Sorin Adam Matei, Martha G. Russell, Elisa Bertino
Springer, Aug 14, 2015

This volume presents significant theoretical and practical contributions in the area of social media reputation and authorship measurement, visualization, and modeling. The book justifies and proposes contributions to a future agenda for understanding the requirements for making social media authorship more transparent. Building on work presented in a previous volume of this series, Roles, Trust, and Reputation in Social Media Knowledge Markets, this book discusses new tools, applications, services, and algorithms that are needed for authoring content in a real-time publishing world. These insights may help people who interact and create content through social media better assess their potential for knowledge creation. They may also assist in analyzing audience attitudes, perceptions, and behavior in informal social media or in formal organizational structures. In addition, the volume includes several chapters that analyze the higher order ethical, critical thinking, and philosophical principles that may be used to ground social media authorship. Together, the perspectives presented in this volume help us understand how social media content is created and how its impact can be evaluated.

The chapters demonstrate thought leadership through new ways of constructing social media experiences and making traces of social interaction visible. Transparency in Social Media aims to help researchers and practitioners design services, tools, or methods of analysis that encourage a more transparent process of interaction and communication on social media. Knowing who has added what content and with what authority to a specific online social media project can help the user community better understand, evaluate and make decisions and, ultimately, act on the basis of such information.

A chapter I co-authored with Itai Himelboim, Lee Rainie, and Ben Shneiderman, publishes the work we did in last year’s Pew Research Internet Project report on Mapping Twitter Topic Networks: From Polarized Crowds to Community Clusters.

Now collected into a book, the report provides an overview of the basic social media network structures we observed in a large collection of network maps we generated from Twitter data.

Trust issues and Excel: how to open other people’s NodeXL documents

Trust issues and Excel: how to open other people’s NodeXL documents

How to open a NodeXL Workbook created on a different machine

By Marc Smith and Derek Hansen

Microsoft Office applications have trust issues.

When you download a NodeXL workbook from a different machine (perhaps from http://nodexlgraphgallery.org) you may get an error like this one that mentions “trusted locations”.

************** Exception Text **************
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Runtime.
CannotCreateCustomizationDomainException: 
This document contains custom code that cannot be 
loaded because the location is not in your trusted
locations list: Sample_Facebook_Egonetwork.xlsx. If you
trust this document you can save and open it from a
location on your computer.
For more information, 
see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=99104.
******************************************

This problem is caused by a lack of trust. Excel documents may contain harmful code (“malware”) and the solution Microsoft created was the idea of “Trusted Locations”. Only folders that have been identified as “trusted locations” will allow you to open Excel files that run embedded code, which are needed by NodeXL to run.

Below are the steps needed to make a folder a trusted location. Once you have done that, NodeXL files stored in that folder will no longer display this error when they are opened.

Step 1: Open Excel Options from the File Menu in Excel

Select: Excel File Menu>Options


The Excel Options dialog. Select “Trust Center”.

Step 2: Choose the Trust Center tab on the menu on the left


The Excel Trust Center dialog. Select “Trust Center Settings”.

Step 3: Add a new trusted location where you will store your NodeXL files

Step 4. The Excel Trusted Locations dialog. Select “Add new location…”.


The Excel Trusted Location dialog. Enter the path to your NodeXL directory here.

Select the “Subfolders of this location are also trusted”. Select OK to every dialog.

It is not recommended that the download directory for your browser be granted Trusted location status.  This will require NodeXL users to download files and then copy or move them to a Trusted Location in order to open and use the complete NodeXL functionality in the file.

April 22, 2015 – Hospitality Technology’s Hotel Technology Forum NodeXL Workshop in Puerto Rico

04FebMay 7, 2015 By Marc Smith

Screen Shot 2014-12-19 at 9.59.01 PM

At the Hospitality Technology’s Hotel Technology Forum in Puerto Rico. April 22, 2015 there will be a talk about applying social media network analysis to better understand how guests talk about hotels in social media.

The guest experience is often reflected in the social media they create while on the property and after.

Some social media can help elevate a brand and provide insights and new ways to deliver services.

Some social media can amplify service problems and erode a brand.

Social media network maps and reports can help businesses navigate the complex landscape of social media, identifying the key people, groups and topics in the discussions that are relevant to the business.

In this talk we will review the ways NodeXL can be used to generate maps and reports that can guide a social media engagement strategy.
