The current study aims to examine what determinants have influences on voluntary self-disclosure in the usage of micro-blogging. Even though the usages of micro-blogging have increased at an exponential rate in South Korea, it has been not well understood the process in which people voluntarily disclose their self-information. In this regard, we tried to examine self-disclosure process on micro-blogging based on Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). For this purpose, attitudes towards self-disclosure, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control were set as the antecedents to self-disclosure behavior. The influences of factors including privacy concern, playfulness, informational motivation for social participation, and relational motivation on the attitude were also investigated. The results of an online survey revealed that attitude toward self-disclosure, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control anticipated the self-disclosure behavior at a statistically significant level. The attitude was not influenced by privacy concern, informational and relational motivation, but by playfulness. The implications of these results are also discussed.

Recently, blogs have attracted much attention as personal media. The power of blogs as a way to provide valuable resources on Internet is so tremendous because of the high speed of information dissemination and the huge influence of the circulated information on Internet users even when the information itself is not true. Especially, contents on blogs that attract a lot of public attention are sometimes reproduced or magnified in an inappropriate way. In this paper, a method to measure the trust level of contents posted on personal blogs is proposed to reduce the damage of wrong information circulated along with blog networks. Trust variables such as relationship data in SNS are used to measure the comparative trust level of blog contents. The structure of the prototype system is also designed to apply this framework to blogsphere.

The Blog enables individuals to become communication producers, not merely consumers. This study aims to analyse the practice of the Blog communication and the surrounding social dynamics. Employing ethnographic content analysis, in-depth interview, and participatory observation, this study tried to explore following research questions: 1) What are the value-added process and social dynamics surrounding the production and practice of the Blog communication? From the perspective of political economy, the mechanisms of market economy of capitalism directly and indirectly worked in Blog production, making it as a medium for profit. The power of capital overwhelmed the blog. These results enable us to predict that Blog can be a new tool for capitalism to create profit.

Recently, on-line social network has been increasing according to development of internet. The most representative service is blog. A Blog is a type of personal web site, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary. These blogs are related to each other, and it is called Blog Network in this paper. In a blog network, posts in a blog can be diffused to other blogs. Analyzing information diffusion in a blog world is a very useful research issue, which can be used for predicting information diffusion, abnormally detection, marketing, and revitalizing the blog world. Existing studies on network analysis have no consideration for the passage of time and these approaches can only measure network activity for a node by the number of direct connections that a given node has. As one solution, this paper suggests the new method of measuring the blog network activity using logistic curve model and Cosine-similarity in key words by the Map/Reduce programming model.

A variety of experiments are being conducted with the advent of Learning Model for flipped-learning. In order to apply flipped-learning as a method of teaching, most of them require a pre-prepared learning video. In this case, there is the burden to create the samples of a 13 weeks, except for the mid term and the final exam in college. These systems also make it difficult to change learning content. In this paper, we suggest using blogs to improve the characteristics that existing flippling systems are less adaptable to environmental changes. A blog can be a good thing for learners who are comfortable with the Internet, In this study, we experiment with flipped-learning, which applies blog to one subject. As a result, we would like to evaluate the meaningful learning effects of this study.

블로그는 현재 광범위하게 대중성을 얻고 있는 온라인 커뮤니케이션의 최근 형태이며, 블로그 사용이 빠른 속도로 주류를 형성해 나가고 있다. 초기 HCI 분야에서의 온라인 커뮤니케이션(CMC)에 대한 연구는 사용자가 시스템의 소프트웨어나 하드웨어의 인터페이스를 어떻게 대하는가 하는 점에 초점이 맞춰졌었지만, 최근에는 온라인 커뮤니티, 블로그처럼 사용자들이 인터넷을 통한 사회화가 어느 때보다 활발하게 이루어지고 있기 때문에, 시스템의 사용성에 대한 고려만으로는 충분하지가 않다. 즉, 시스템이 어떻게 사용자들 간에 사회적 상호 교류를 지원할 수 있고, 이러한 사회적 교류가 원활하게 이루어지기 위해서 시스템이 어떻게 설계되어야 하는 지에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실제 블로그 이용자들을 대상으로 이들과 상호 연결된 블로거들과의 온라인에서의 관계적 행위를 살펴보고, 또한 이러한 행위가 네트워크 구조적 특성과는 어떠한 상관 관계를 가지는지를 심층 인터뷰와 사회 네트워크 분석법을 이용하여 탐색적으로 알아보고자 한다. 본 연구 결과를 통해서 얻은 사용자들의 온라인 교류 시 보이는 행위적 특성을 바탕으로 온라인 개인 미디어 서비스 설계에 대한 가이드라인을 제안해 보고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to identify pregnant women's needs for information on prenatal genetic diagnosis and screening. This study is consisted of two phases. In the first phase in December 2011, six blogs featuring questions and answers on prenatal genetic diagnosis and screening were selected from four major search engines in Korea by using the keywords "prenatal genetic diagnosis," "prenatal genetic screening", and "amniocentesis." An analyzing framework was constructed on the basis of 389 posts on six blogs between November 2006 and October 2011. In the second phase, the contents of the "MomsHolicbaby" blog posted from November 2010 to October 2011 were reviewed. Then, pregnant women's questions on prenatal genetic diagnosis and screening (100 questions) and amniocentesis (200 questions with 1,665 answers) were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Among posters who had ever been recommended to undergo amniocentesis, 56.5% described feelings of anxiety, 25.5% did not know the purpose of the test, and 33.9% refused to undergo the test. Among 295 posters answering questions about amniocentesis, 61.4% disagreed with undergoing the test. The results show that there is a need for healthcare professionals to provide more educational and emotional support to pregnant women considering prenatal genetic diagnosis and screening. Providing online health information can be integrated into prenatal genetic education for pregnant women as well as nurses. In addition, prenatal women's preferences about undergoing amniocentesis should be reflected in the current legal discussion on criteria for termination of pregnancy.

In this study, the relationship between movie ticket reservation rates and Internet buzz share is analyzed. The correlations between movie ticket reservation rates and Internet buzz share in blogs, Internet cafes, news site, and Internet video in NAVER which is a representative Internet portal in Korea are analyzed empirically. The results show that there are positive correlations between buzz shares and movie ticket reservation rates. In particular, before movies at the box office, the correlations with Internet video is relatively higher than those of other channels, and after movies at the box office, the correlations with blogs and Internet cafe are relatively higher. Also, we can find that the correlations between Internet buzz shares on movies and movie ticket reservation rates are different depending on time lags and Internet channels.

This study investigates the interaction mechanisms and processes between cyber space and real space. In particular, we analyze the relationships between changes on the economic landscape of the Bookchon region and the information supply and demand for this area on the Internet Blogs. In order to obtain the behavioral data about how people get information for Bookchon area and the reaction afterward, we perform questionnaire survey. The results of analysis reveal that there are significant connection between real space and cyber space, Internet Blog in particular. Internet Blog is the major media obtaining information about Bookchon area for major portion of people. Most people visit Bookchon after searching informations about it via Internet Blog. In particular, young generations who possess better capability to treat social media. At the same time, female, student, and office workers show these attitudes very strongly. We introduce a conceptual model for the interaction processes between cyber space and real space based on the survey data analysis, and propose a simple theoretical model for the dynamics of the total number of visitors about specific place with the experience of cyber space visit.
