This study examines how different uses of social network sites (SNS) and mobile phones (MP) to communicate with friends and business associates are related to the acquisition of job-related information, job mobility, and entrepreneurial intentions, using social capital as its main theoretical lens. To this end, a nationally representative, random digit dialing (RDD) survey was conducted in Singapore. Path analyses show that SNS interactions with friends are positively related to both bonding and bridging social capital. The former is linked with greater job mobility, the latter with entrepreneurship, and both are associated with more job-related information. SNS interactions with business contacts are directly positively related to job-related information and entrepreneurship. For mobile phones, interactions with friends are positively related to social capital, job information and entrepreneurship. Professional networking is associated with more bridging social capital, job information and job mobility. Bonding capital is found to be linked with greater job mobility, while bridging capital has a positive relationship with both entrepreneurship and job mobility.

최근 소셜네트워크를 기반으로 하는 소셜커머스(social commerce)가 각광받고 있다. 소셜네트워크와 연동한 소셜커머스 서비스는 소비자간 고도의 소통 수단이 되고 있으며, 유통방식의 새로운 패러다임을 제시하고 있다. 할인의 폭을 크게 하거나 다양한 이벤트를 통한 거래촉진, 동네의 상권 활성화에 기여하는 등의 역할을 하고 있다. 종래의 온라인 상거래와는 달리 역동성, 신속성, 개방성 등을 특성으로 하는 소셜커머스는 사이트의 디자인이 구매의사결정에 영향을 많이 미칠 수 있다고 전제하였다. 본 연구는 소셜커머스를 사용 중인 20대를 대상으로 실증 연구하였으며, 이를 통해 소셜커머스 사이트의 디자인요인이 구매결정요인에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 연구 결과 구매 의사결정에 가장 많이 영향을 주는 요인은 사용 용이성임을 시사점으로 제시하였고, 소셜커머스 사이트를 설계하거나 업그레이드를 준비 중인 기업 혹은 책임자에게 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Social network service (SNS) data related to green tourism were used to estimate preferred tour sites and users' interests. Keywords related with green tour activities were employed to search the SNS data. SNS data were collected from Korean blogs such as Naver and Daum from June $1^{st}$ to August $31^{st}$ between 2015 and 2017 using text-mining solution. During the study period, seven hundred and five posts were analyzed. Associated words that frequently co-occurred with keywords were classified into different categories depending on the nature of associated words. Associated words included swimming pools and camping sites (location); experience and swimming pools (attribute); and water play and culture (culture/leisure). Our data suggest that SNS users with experience of green tourism in Korea exhibited interest in green tourism with swimming pools, camping sites, experience, water play and/or culture rather than particular popular sites. Based on the findings, it is recommended that preferred facilities such as swimming pools should be provided at green tourism sites to meet the users' needs and to facilitate green tourism.

Nowadays, many first-time Internet users start off heavily using SNSs (Social Network Sites), such as Cyworld, Facebook, and Twitter. The reason for the growth of SNS use is closely related to the various services of gaming, playing, using entertainment items, sharing knowledge etc., provided by the SNS; technically, the most important of the services provided would be the behavior of sharing knowledge among people connected and networked in the site. In sum, we assume that the users may communicate well with each other and pay attention to building a close social network using the abovementioned activities. However, researchers have just begun to focus on the issues explaining why Internet users rush into SNSs and enjoy their time there. Therefore, we investigated the reasons for posting and sharing knowledge voluntarily on the SNS and how others respond to the posted knowledge and are actually affected by the behavior. We applied social identity theory and social capital theory in this study to find which network externalities in SNSs may affect online identity-based attachment and cause them to produce a knowledge sharing generation. We found that people's online identity in SNSs is closely related to and influences knowledge sharing. This empirical study resulted in the importance of social relations in SNSs, which leads to sharing knowledge.

최근 소셜 네트워크 사이트는 모바일 디바이스 기능과 보급의 향상과 맞물려 큰 인기를 끌고 있다. 이에 따라 사용자의 소셜 네트워크 사이트 가입도 많아지고 있고, 서비스 사용도 더욱 활발해지고 있다. 그러나 사용자들의 수요에 비해서 각각의 소셜 네트워크 사이트 벤더들은 데이터 소유자가 다양한 루트로부터 생성한 콘텐츠를 다른 사용자들과 효율적으로 공유할 수 있도록 서비스를 제공하지 못하고 있다. 또한 여러 디바이스에서 생성된 콘텐츠들을 사용자가 정책으로 정한 관계에 따라 접근할 수 있도록 할 경우, 정책을 공유하는 과정에서 개인정보가 부적절하게 노출될 수 있고 이는 프라이버시 침해 문제를 야기할 수 있는 것이 자명한데, 이러한 문제를 해결할 수 있는 소셜 네트워크들의 통합 관리 방안은 미비한 상태이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다양한 소셜 네트워크들이 사용자로부터 생성된 콘텐츠를 공유할 때, 이에 사용되는 정책을 암호화한 상태에서 제3자에 의해 분류하도록 하여 사용자 프라이버시를 보호하는 동시에 콘텐츠를 효율적으로 분류하여 접근 제어 권한을 부여할 수 있도록 하는 모델을 제안한다. 제안하는 모델은 여러 장치들로부터 생성된 콘텐츠를 관리하기 위하여 RCBAC 모델을 기반으로 하여 이루어질 수 있도록 하고, 정책 공유 시 관계들 간의 유사도를 암호화 한 상태에서 측정하여 공격자로부터 사용자 정책 및 컨탠츠를 보호할 수 있도록 하는데 기여할 수 있다.

This study aims to investigate the effects of telepresence on young moviegoers' flow experiences and social interactions, and the impact on consumer delight, trust, and experience sharing behavior on cinema mobile social network site pages. Given the scarcity of telepresence research, indirect telepresence on experience sharing via two experiences and social interactions is also included. The study used pages from Korean cinema mobile social network sites, and 175 Chinese moviegoers residing in Korea participated. We found that telepresence positively impacts the activity in both human-human and human-computer interactions. We further contend that telepresence positively affects perceived enjoyment and attentional focus. However, perceived enjoyment does not significantly affect consumer delight. We found that consumer delight positively influences consumer trust and movie experience sharing. Moreover, we illustrated that telepresence significantly and indirectly influences consumer movie experience-sharing behavior through attention focus and consumer delight. Our results provide crucial insights for future study and practical managerial.

Social network games (SNGs), a rapidly growing online game genre, are built and played on social network sites. SNGs provide an online world for enjoying leisure time and interpersonal communication, and an increasing numbers of college students are involved in such game-playing as a leisure time activity. Despite the popularity, relatively few studies have been conducted to investigate the nature of game players, especially the meaning of such leisure time behavior by college students. This paper's aim was to explore a subjective meaning structure of online social network game play. The means-end chain model was used to link attributes of SNGs to the underlying values of game playing as a leisure activity. The results revealed two emerging end-values: the need for bridging and a sense of belonging. This study sheds light on the meaning of college students' leisure activities when playing social network games.

Despite the relatively short history of Social Network Sites or Services (SNS), it has quickly gained popularity with more than seven hundred million users all over the globe. The SNS emerged as one of the strongest cultural influences for the contemporary society. The SNS would provide both chances and challenges for Education. The main purpose of the article was to explore the way education react and adapt to the emergence of social network and SNS. It tried to provide major theoretical grounds that bridge education and social network. In the due process, the researchers have examined the curriculum and instructional design process of education from the perspective of disruptive and sustainable aspect of SNS technology. Consequently, four major theoretical grounds were identified and reviewed: Gibson's theory of affordance, Vygotsky's social constructivism, Rha's human visual intelligence theory, and the network theory. By investigating these theories, the educational potentials of social network and SNS were emerged. The SNS was viewed as a new medium with abundant potentials of expanding the learning space, empowering the affective aspects of learning, and facilitating the formation of group intelligence. Finally, some future implications and challenges of SNS were suggested.
