Please vote on our SxSW panel: Social Mapping: Bridging Online & Offline Events

Please vote on our SxSW 2012 panel:

Social Mapping : Bridging Online & Offline Events
Event	Interactive 2012
Format	Workshop
Organizer	Emily Gannett ‐ IRL Productions
Speakers	Marc Smith ‐ Social Media Research Foundation
Description	Look up from your phone and you will notice that offline is not obsolete. Experiences in real life (IRL) remain powerful and memorable. Online tools and social platforms are now thoroughly integrated into “offline” life on smart devices in every meeting, conference, or gathering. Marketers can now tie online and offline activity together, mapping online discussions and offline connections to spur awareness, connections, and lasting conversations. Featuring insight from the Social Media Research Foundation and case studies from some of the world’s top brands, this intermediate workshop will teach techniques for integrating social media and emerging technologies with events and experiential marketing campaigns. We’ll illustrate free and open tools for collecting, analyzing and visualizing patterns of how people engage with your topic using various social media channels like Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare. We will review how to augment face-to-face interactions, and present case studies of interactive events that fit cohesively into established online and offline marketing campaigns. Maps of the connections that form when people communicate can reveal the key people and groups who act as your brand influencers. Learn how to make maps of your own, with no programming skills required, to guide your own engagement with stakeholders, online and off.
Questions Answered	How can marketers leverage digital media to increase the value of experiential marketing? How can they create breadth and impact beyond the transaction? What are the best new platforms and tools to leverage? What was your favorite integrated campaign this year? Which brands did an excellent job of incorporating social media at events and weaving digital throughout? What social media data can be collected at events and conferences? What can you do to better understand your customers through this information? What are the best ways to compare online and offline metrics? Do we need new standards?
Level	Intermediate
Category	Branding / Marketing / Advertising
Tags	Events, Metrics, social media

May 28/29 Quantified Self 2011 – Conference in Mountain View, California, NodeXL EventGraph Maps of #quantifiedself

25MayMay 7, 2015 By Marc Smith

I am very interested in the Quantified Self conference to be held in Mountain View, California, May 28 and 29. While I have attended just a few of the in-person meet-ups, which were engaging and intriguing events, I have followed the blog and tweet stream closely. These events feature short presentations about practices, prototypes, and products that record information about our own behavior and activity. It is great to hear that, as the meet-ups grew to become very large, a conference has been organized to accommodate the demand and growing interest in the intersection of sensors and other devices with medical and personal self-monitoring. Using a variety of devices, our lives can now create detailed inscriptions that illuminate our behavior and patterns with novel clarity and detail. (See: http://quantifiedself.com/conference/)

I plan to attend. I will speak on Sunday morning at a 10:30 breakout session on using social media network analysis to map personal and collective social media spaces.

Quantifying the “Quantified Self” discussion in Twitter: Here is a map of the connections among the people who recently tweeted the string “quantified self” on May 25th, 2011.

Paper: Tech Report at University of Maryland on EventGraphs

08JulMay 7, 2015 By Marc Smith

A new paper on visualizing social media has been released on the University of Maryland, Human Computer Interaction Laboratory tech report archive. Co-authored by Derek Hansen, myself, and Ben Shneiderman, the paper describes and visualizes the patterns of connections formed when people tweet about events like conferences and news stories.

EventGraphs: Charting Collections of Conference Connections
HCIL-2010-13

EventGraphs are social media network diagrams constructed from content selected by its association with time-bounded events, such as conferences. Many conferences now communicate a common “hashtag” or keyword to identify messages related to the event. EventGraphs help make sense of the collections of connections that form when people follow, reply or mention one another and a keyword. This paper defines EventGraphs, characterizes different types, and shows how the social media network analysis add-in NodeXL supports their creation and analysis. The paper also identifies the structural and conversational patterns to look for and highlight in EventGraphs and provides design ideas for their improvement.
