  • This research aims to analyse the practices adopted by social media users in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), specifically users of Facebook and Snapchat. To collect data from participants, a questionnaire was used, generating 915 responses. The analysis of the data shows a clear preference for Snapchat over Facebook in the KSA, where 89% of the participants have accounts on Snapchat compared to 66% of them with accounts on Facebook. Moreover, the preference for Snapchat over Facebook has been clearly shown in the daily usage of participants, where 83% of those with Snapchat accounts can be described as very active users. They have accessed their Snapchat accounts at least once a day compared to only 15% of Facebook users. Different reasons were provided by the participants explaining the practices they adopted. We believe that such research could help social media applications' designers and policy makers to understand the behaviour of users in the KSA when using social media applications and the rationale behind their behaviour and preferences. This understanding could help improve the performance of current applications and new ones.

  • This study aims to provide an in-depth description of the practices of social media users in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)-specifically the users of Facebook and Snapchat-and the reasons for these practices, the decisions made, and the people involved. Qualitative methods were used to collect data in two rounds from 53 participants. The data analysis shows a clear preference for Snapchat over Facebook among the participants, as shown in their using the application many times daily and in the creation and use of new words derived from the application's name. On the other hand, one of the main reasons mentioned by the participants for not preferring Facebook was the unclear policy of security and privacy used in the application. This reason is important for all social media users, but, in particular, it is crucial for female users, as shown in the data. This is important for the designers and policymakers of the social media applications to understand and consider, as it would help them improve the current applications and create new ones.

  • The emergence of social media platforms has changed the culture of business marketing. Their impact has increased considerably since the emergence of social media influencers or content creators. The phenomenon of social media influencers has been adopted as one of the most effective marketing strategies among global and local organizations. Those celebrities attract business owners, who seek to use them as means to reach a large number of potential consumers. Today, the user bases of Snapchat and YouTube in Saudi Arabia are growing fast and becoming very popular, unlike other social media platforms. Consequently, the impact of these applications' influencers on the purchasing habits of individuals cannot be underestimated. This survey paper intends to investigate the impact of Snapchat and YouTube influencers on the consumption behaviour of Saudi consumers. Results suggest that Snapchat is not only more popular but also more rusted and credible. Moreover, influencers' impact on purchasing behaviour is prevalent and powerful; furthermore, its influence is more effective in persuading Saudi consumers to buy certain products, such as food, than other products, like jewelry.

  • Recently, KakaoTalk users seek secure messengers with fears of 'possible' censorship over a mobile messenger. Instead German messenger "Telegram" is gaining popularity in South Korea. Are the known as secure messengers actually secure? In this paper, we evaluate secure mobile messengers in terms of private information protection. We establish the fourteen criteria to evaluate the functionality of messenger apps including communication encryption in transit, the possibility of leakage of decrypted messages via server, an encryption algorithm, a key exchange algorithm, an ephemeral message application, etc. Line, Telegram, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Wickr, Facebook Messenger and KakaoTalk, which have many worldwide and domestic users, are to be targeted. Wickr is ranked at the top of the evaluation, followed by Telegram and Line but KakaoTalk and Snapchat are ranked at the bottom of the evaluation list.

  • 최근, e-스포츠, e-게임을 포함하는 e-레저를 위한 새로운 콘텐츠가 요구되고 있다. 이러한 요구로 사람을 추적 대상으로 하는 e-레저용 모바일 AR 연구가 진행되고 있다. e-레저 모바일 AR은 실외환경에서 사용되기 때문에, 원거리에서의 추적 성능이 중요하다. 그러나, snow, snapchat 등과 같은 기존 모바일 AR은 원거리에서 추적 성능이 낮은 단점이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 실외환경에서의 e-레저 모바일 AR을 제안한다. 제안된 e-레저 모바일 AR은 색상 마커 및 인체비를 이용하여 실외환경(원거리)에서 머리의 위치를 추적하고, 추적된 위치에 가상의 객체를 증강한다. 제안된 e-레저 모바일 AR의 성능은 추적 성능 및 연산 시간의 측정 실험을 통해 검토되었다.

  • 스타트업은 이제 전세계적으로 산업발전에서 가장 떠오르는 이슈로 자리 잡고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 가장 큰 문제는 대부분의 스타트업은 죽음의 계곡을 극복하지 못하고 실패의 길로 들어선다는 것이다. 이러한 상황에서 많은 스타트업은 벤처캐피탈에게서 이를 극복하기 위한 투자를 받기 원하고 있다. 하지만 스타트업의 비즈니스는 그 자체로 보안이 중요한 영업비밀이기에 벤처캐피탈을 접근하는데 있어 전략적 접근이 필요하다. 본 연구는 이를 위해 스타트업의 특성과 벤처캐피탈의 기존 투자 포트폴리오와의 연관성을 분석함으로서 투자유치를 위한 전략적 의사결정 요인을 확인하고자 한다. 분석을 위해 기존 유명한 해외 벤처캐피탈인 Sequoia capital, Lightspeed venture, Firstround, Khosla venture와 그들이 엔젤투자로 불리우는 seed 투자를 한 스타트업인 Dropbox, Airbnb, Snapchat, Uber, Instacart의 사례를 살펴보고 연관성에 대한 탐색적 분석을 실행하였다. 그 결과 각각의 벤처캐피탈은 각자 그들만의 투자 카테고리 특성을 보여줬으며 seed 투자 된 스타트업 또한 그들의 주요 카테고리에 포함되었다. 이뿐만 아니라 투자 시점 기준 1년간 투자된 총 244개의 기업과의 연관 관계를 살펴본 결과 36.4%의 기업이 산업내 수요와 공급관계를 형성하여 해당 산업의 양적, 질적 성장을 촉진할 수 있는 상호 수직적 통합관계를 보였으며 단지 0.5%만이 수평적 통합관계를 보여주어 벤처캐피탈이 스타트업에 투자하는데 있어서 기존 사업과의 상호 연관성에 따른 포트폴리오를 구성함을 보여주었다. 이는 스타트업에게는 seed 투자를 위한 벤처캐피탈 유치에 있어 기존 투자된 포트폴리오와의 연관성 확인이 주요한 전략적 요인임을 확인시켜 줬으며, 벤처캐피탈에게 있어서는 위험성 감소를 위한 상호 보완할 수 있는 스타트업 포트폴리오 구성의 중요성을 보여주었다. 이는 또한 갈수록 늘어나는 기업간 분쟁에 있어 상호 방어적 지식재산(IP) 포트폴리오 구성이 가능하게 되어 향후 사업성장을 위한 전략적 대응에 있어 그 중요성이 더욱더 클 것으로 보인다.

  • This study aims at knowing both the level of information security awareness in the use of social media among female secondary school students in Makkah Al-Mukarramah, and the procedures that students follow when exposed to hacking or other security problems. The study relied on the descriptive survey approach. The results showed a high percentage of social media use among the study sample, and the most used applications by the students are snapchat and Instagram applications successively. In fact, 48% of the study sample have awareness of information security, the majority of the students memorize the password in the devices, most of them do not change them, and they have knowledge of fake gates and social engineering. However, their knowledge of electronic hacking is weak, and students do not share passwords with anyone at a rate of 67%. At the same time, they do not update passwords. Moreover, most of the procedures followed by students when exposed to theft and hacking is to change the e-mail data and the password, and the results varied apart from that, which reflects the weak awareness of the students and the weakness of procedures related to information security. The study recommends the necessity to raise awareness and education of the importance of information security and safety, especially in light of what the world faces from data electronic attacks and hackings of electronic applications.

  • This research aimed to provide a profound description of the practices of social media users in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), specifically the users of Facebook® (FB) and Snapchat® (SC), the reasons for these practices, decisions made, and the people involved. Such research would be of significant help to designers and policymakers of social media applications in understanding user practices when using social media applications and the reasons for such practices in the KSA. This better comprehension would be of significant help in improving current applications and creating new ones. According to the data analysis, there was a clear preference for SC over FB in the KSA. Most participants with SC accounts were described as very active users, accessing their accounts at least once a day compared to FB users. The users were led by this high preference for SC to create new words derived from the name of the application and use them in daily life. We showed our experience of carrying out a study in which the main objective was to collect factual empirical data from participants about their daily usage of social media applications while considering the unique cultural settings in the KSA. Mixed quantitative and qualitative methods were used to triangulate the data, increasing its trustworthiness and validity. Multiple perspectives were obtained using various data collection methods. Therefore, conclusions would not be confounded with limitations of any particular methodology or with conditions of any collection rounds. This research would constitute a valuable guide for researchers intending to use methods with male and female informants from different cultures, preparing them for potential challenges and suggesting possible solutions.

  • 모바일 어플리케이션 시장에서 업데이트는 (i) 어플리케이션의 가시성을 높이거나, (ii) 기존 사용자들의 충성도를 높이고 가치를 제고하거나, (iii) 기능 추가를 통해 시장을 확대하는 등 다양한 목적을 위한 전략적 마케팅 도구로 활용되고 있다. 많은 연구와 사례들은 이러한 업데이트가 모바일 어플리케이션 시장에서 생존하기 위해 중요하다는 점을 강조하고 있다. 그러나, 일부 다른 사례들은 업데이트가 오히려 사용자들의 반발과 이탈을 불러오기도 한다는 것을 보여주었다. 본 연구는 모바일 어플리케이션의 실제 사용량 데이터를 통해 어플리케이션의 이용 목적과 시장경쟁 환경에 따라 업데이트가 사용자들의 어플리케이션 이용패턴에 사용자수 측면에서, 이용빈도수 측면에서, 그리고 이용시간 측면에서 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 분석하였다.
