Given the context that users are actively using social media with multimedia embedded information, the purpose of this study is to demonstrate how images are used within Twitter messages, especially in influential and favorited messages. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, the top 200 influential and favorited messages with images were selected out of 1,589 tweets related to "Boston bombing" in April 2013. The characteristics of the message, image use, and user are analyzed and compared. Two phases of the analysis were conducted on three data sets containing the top 200 influential messages, top 200 favorited messages, and general messages. In the first phase, coding schemes have been developed for conducting three categorical analyses: (1) categorization of tweets, (2) categorization of image use, and (3) categorization of users. The three data sets were then coded using the coding schemes. In the second phase, comparison analyses were conducted among influential, favorited, and general tweets in terms of tweet type, image use, and user. While messages expressing opinion were found to be most favorited, the messages that shared information were recognized as most influential to users. On the other hand, as only four image uses - information dissemination, illustration, emotive/persuasive, and information processing - were found in this data set, the primary image use is likely to be data-driven rather than object-driven. From the perspective of users, the user types such as government, celebrity, and photo-sharing sites were found to be favorited and influential. An improved understanding of how users' image needs, in the context of social media, contribute to the body of knowledge of image needs. This study will also provide valuable insight into practical designs and implications of image retrieval systems or services.

SNS is emerging as an academic and social interest, as Facebook and Twitter are developed explosively. But, SNS has a problem of exposing user's privacy because it is originated by exchanging user's personal information and opinion. This paper proposes SNS user privacy protecting model using data separation and false data information instead of blocking which is using to protect user's personal privacy. The proposed model do not let the third party extract precise information after collecting user's context information by adding false information to separated context information. Also, it gets user's agreement beforehand if SNS service provider uses user's information not to be used illegally by the third party.

SNS is a useful tool to quickly deliver information in an emergency given their speed and expandability. Especially, SNS in the event of a disaster or an accident can offer on-site, accurate and detailed updates about essential information such as the safety of victims and the development of the situation, served as a valuable complement to the conventional media. This study aims to perform a comparative analysis on how social media are currently used by emergency management authorities in South Korea and other countries. Based on the results, this study proposed more effective ways to exploit SNS and improve efficiency of disaster management. To accomplish the goals, this study collected tweet information from various sources including the FEMA of the U. S., the FDMA and the Central Disaster Council of Japan, and the MPSS of Korea. The collected tweet information was analyzed by feedback, time series, and information types. The feedback analysis aims to quantify the number of monthly user feedback in order to assess user satisfaction about the tweet information. The time series analysis identifies the number of tweet information, feedback index and keywords by country for certain duration, examining why certain messages showed high feedback indices and what kind of contents should be offered by the authorities. Finally, the analysis of information type reviews the type of information contained in the tweet information that drew users' attention to identify the information type in which the authorities should deliver information to users. Based on these analyses, this study proposed improvement methods to use Tweeter in MPSS.

최근 스마트폰 열풍과 함께 트위터, 페이스북 등으로 대표되는 SNS의 이용이 크게 확대되었다. SNS가 개인간 네트워크 유지 및 확대를 위한 소통의 도구로 자리매김함에 따라 기업들도 고객과의 관계 강화를 위한 마케팅 도구로 SNS를 활용하고 있다. 그러나 개인 프로필을 기반으로 하는 정보의 공개 및 공유가 특징인 SNS는 개인정보 노출이나 퍼블리시티권 침해, 저작권 침해 등 여러 가지 사회적 이슈를 야기하고 있다. 이에 SNS 이용자들은 정보의 공유에 대한 범위 설정 등을 통해 자신의 권리는 물론, 타인의 권리도 보호해야 할 필요가 있다. 따라서 이 연구는 SNS 상에서 발생하는 권리침해 문제들을 개괄하고, 주요 SNS의 이용약관을 살펴봄으로써 SNS 이용자의 정보공유 및 권리보호를 위한 권한과 책무를 파악하고자 한다.

현재 앱 스토어 인기 차트 1위에서 7위까지의 순위를 3주째 차지하고 있는 Ordinary Factory의 Analog Film City 시리즈는 각 테마별 도시의 느낌을 입혀주는 사진 보정 애플리케이션이다. 이 애플리케이션은 트위터 등 Social Network Services 이용자들의 입소문을 타고 지속적인 판매 실적을 올리고 있다. 사진 보정 애플리케이션은 현재 무료 버전으로 출시된 툴만 수십 종에 이른다. 그 외에도 SNS에 기본 옵션으로 탑재된 보정 기능 또한 전문 애플리케이션 못지않은 훌륭한 성능을 자랑한다. 이런 때에 Analog Film City 시리즈가 SNS 유저 사이에서 선풍적인 인기몰이를 하는 이유는 레트로 콘텐츠가 트렌드의 중심에 자리한 요즘 시기에 별다른 전문성을 요하지 않는 간편한 조작으로 일반 이용자들의 감성을 표현해낸다는 점에서 기인한 것으로 여겨진다.
