This is my first personal blog @ Blogger.com. I am trying to adapt myself to different SNSs currently because I have chosen Prof. Rosanna Chan's course called "Social Media Analytics" in my first-term schedule. Under this circumstance, I will record my learning process of this course by writing personal blogs here.
I took the course (IEMS5723_Social Media Analytics) in the last two weeks. After participating in the class, it occurs to me that social network analysis is such a profound discipline. People may get abundant information by analyzing one person's personal SNS. Even some private information can be acquired. Doing research on this field will help people realize the significance of "Online Relationships".
Nowadays, more and more SNSs are playing significant roles in people's daily life, except from sharing news and happiness with friends, SNSs have lots of functions as well, especially something related to commercial affairs. The picture below shows pros and cons of some famous SNSs. Here is its original address: Social Media Cheat Sheet.
Although there may exist lots of barriers while analyzing one particular social media object, we have invented copious useful tools. Such as content analysis, NLP technologies and some other tools (e.g. Google Book's N-Gram Viewer).
Writing a maiden English blog seems to be a difficult task for me. Nevertheless, I do believe this will be a good start. By the end of this term, I will acquire something useful that I have not encountered before.
P.S. :
There may exist some grammar or spelling mistakes in this blog. I appreciate your patience and I will try my best to write a better one for the next time!
