Social networking sites (SNS), such as Facebook, provide abundant social comparison opportunities. Given the widespread use of SNSs, the purpose of the present study was to examine the impact of exposure to social media-based social comparison on user's negative emotions and discontinuous use intention on SNS. We present evidence that under the use of SNS, social comparison activities diverge into three patterns, with explicit self-evaluation desire made against similar target (lateral comparison), self-defense desire made against less fortunate target (downward comparison), and self-enhancement desire made with more fortunate target (upward comparison). Such social comparison processes frequently arise, as people are increasingly using on SNSs, the downward contacts ameliorating self-esteem with positive emotions, but the upward contacts and standard contacts with lateral status enabling a person to compare his or her situation with others and simultaneously increase negative emotions due to its differences with others. In other words, as people increasingly relying on SNSs for a variety of everyday tasks, they risk overexposure to upward or standard social comparison information that may have a cumulative detrimental impact on future intention on SNS use. This study with survey with 209 SNS users found that these negative emotions lead to negative fatigue (attitude) and then discontinuous use intention (behavior) on SNS. Our findings are among the first to explicitly examine discontinuous use intention on SNS using social comparison theory and our results are consistent with those of past research showing that upward social comparisons can be detrimental.

In 1995, the filming location of the drama had been famous, and as a result it brings the effect of increasing tourists of that areas. After that, many local governments try to host the filming on their regions to be potential tourist attractions. With the same stream, Jeonju also has attempted to host International Film Festival and to set up Jeonju Film Commission and Jeonju Cinema Complex. However, although the city already has rich infrastructure facilities to make films, the city hardly tries to use the filming locations as tourist attractions. This study suggests four ways of using filming locations as tourist attractions to activate Jeonju economy and improve Jeonju's cultural image. We firstly collect social bigdata related with tourists of filming locations and tourist attractions in Jeonju from Twitter, which is the most representative SNS, and then perform frequency and trend analysis. We also investigate major factors of visits to tourist's attractions based on content analysis of tweet mentions.

Since the popularity of social network services (SNS) rise, the data produced from them is rapidly increased. The SNS data includes personal propensity or interest and propagates rapidly so there are many requests on analyzing the data for applying the analytic results to various fields. New technologies and services for processing and analyzing big data in the real-time are introduced but it is hard to apply them in a short time and low coast. In this paper, an efficient method to build a tweet analysis system without inducing new technologies or service platforms for handling big data is proposed. The proposed method was verified through building a prototype monitoring system to collect and analyze tweets using the MySQL database and the PHP scripts.

최근 블로그, 카페 및 SNS(Social Network Service)와 같이 다양한 소셜 네트워크 환경을 통해 사용자 자신의 의견 등을 표현하고 있다. 이에 이러한 데이터를 수집 분석하는 시스템을 개발하는 업체에서는 소셜 네트워크 상의 정보를 수집하여 데이터의 패턴을 분석하여 마케팅 등에 이용하는 기술을 제안하고 있다. 그러나, 기존 기술에서는 소셜 네트워크 상에 존재하는 다양한 유형의 문서나 정보를 모두 수용할 수 없어서 그 분석에 제한이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 소셜 네트워크 정보를 실시간으로 수집 및 분석함에 있어서, 소셜 네트워크상에 존재하는 다양한 유형의 문서나 정보를 모두 수용할 수 있고, 이용자의 필요에 따라 분석 결과를 제공할 수 있는 소셜 네트워크 정보 수집 및 분석 시스템을 제공하고자 한다.

SNS (Social Network Service) has evolved to life-friendly service with the combination of local services. Unlike exsiting mobile services, life-friendly service is expected to be personalized with gathering of local information, location information and social network service information. In the process of gathering various kinds of information, Big-data technology and Cloud technology is needed. The effective algorithem has researched for this already, however the privacy protection model hasn't researched enough in life-friendly service or big-data using circumstance. In this paper, the privacy issue is dealt with in terms of 'Structure hole', and the privacy issue comes from big-data technology of life-friendly service.

Research question and method play important roles in conducting a research in a scientifically valid way. In today's digitalized research environment, social network service (SNS) has rapidly become a new source of big data. While this shift provides new challenges for researchers in Korea, there is little scholarly discussion of how research questions can be framed and what statistical methods can be applied. This article suggests some basic but primary types of example questions for researchers employing social big data analytics. Further, we illustrate the interface of the intended data set specifically for SNS-mediated communication and information exchange behaviors. Lastly, a statistical test known as proper method for social big data is introduced.

This study is conducted to explore the possibility of service convergence to promote mobile learning. This study has attempted to identify how mobile learning service is provided, which services among them are considered most popular, and which services are highly demanded by users. This study has also investigated the potential opportunities for service convergence of mobile service and e-learning. This research is then extended to examine the possibility of active convergence of common services in mobile services and e-learning. Important variables have been identified from related web pages of portal sites using social network analysis (SNA) and association rules. Due to the differences in number and type of variables on different web pages, SNA was used to deal with the difficulties of identifying the degree of complex connection. Association analysis has been used to identify association rules among variables. The study has revealed that most frequent services among common services of mobile services and e-learning were Games and SNS followed by Payment, Advertising, Mail, Event, Animation, Cloud, e-Book, Augmented Reality and Jobs. This study has also found that Search, News, GPS in mobile services were turned out to be very highly demanded while Simulation, Culture, Public Education were highly demanded in e-learning. In addition, It has been found that variables involving with high service convergence based on common variables of mobile and e-learning services were Games and SNS, Games and Sports, SNS and Advertising, Games and Event, SNS and e-Book, Games and Community in mobile services while Games, Animation, Counseling, e-Book, being preceding services Simulation, Speaking, Public Education, Attendance Management were turned out be highly convergent in e-learning services. Finally, this study has attempted to predict possibility of active service convergence focusing on Games, SNS, e-Book which were highly demanded common services in mobile and e-learning services. It is expected that this study can be used to suggest a strategic direction to promote mobile learning by converging mobile services and e-learning.

Appearance and rapid growth of the social network services (SNS) have led to changes in the distribution structure of information. Consumers can obtain various information quickly via the social network services and companies make use of a new advertising channel in them. In order to increase the effect of publicity activities through the social network services, development and application of public relations strategy by evaluating and analyzing the results of the activities is required. In this paper, a method for developing a low cost system to evaluate and analyze the results of public relations through the social networks is proposed. The proposed method was verified through building and running a demo system to collect and analyze data in the Facebook fan pages using MySQL database and PHP script on a Linux server.
