"Third Workshop on Search and Social Media (SSM 2010)" Schwerpuntk: search engines in the social web Despite these challenges, it is clear that the major web search engines have embraced the brave new world of real-time social content. Sihem Amer-Yahia (Yahoo!) offered two challenge problems: scalable community discovery and evaluation of collaborative recommendation systems. William wants to see a rigorous axiomatization of social media search behavior.

In this paper we illustrate how Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), combining lightweight information architecture with advanced search paradigms (like faceted search) and interactive visualization strategies, can be used to better support a number of communication goals.

Get accurate information about your community using different search criteria that will help you to make strategic and error-free decisions. Take advantage of knowing exactly who shapes your community: where your followers are from, which language they speak, their activity on Twitter, etc.

This conference focuses on the interaction between museums and communities. In times of mobility and change, history museums play an important role in societal questions of social cohesion, identity and belonging. In search of their roots, people turn to heritage. History is popular as never before and it surfaces in all contemporary media. At the same time, the communication era offers new possibilities to form communities, based on common interests and preferences or popular and corporate culture. Museums in general, as part of the public sphere, are an important tool in this dynamic process of heritage formation and the performance of community.  

Recently I've been thinking of more and more ways that museums and libraries can expose their collections via other methods besides typing a search term into a search box - yawn… Like most Australians I've been playing around with the street view data Google have added in for Australia cities and it got me thinking, how could this be used by museums and libraries.

"When was the last time you visited the library? Or a museum? When was the last time you read a reference book from cover to cover or took the time to travel to an exhibition? I bet it was quite some time ago since most of these things are now readily available online, digitised and searchable."

"Art.sy is a new way to discover art you'll love, featuring work from leading galleries, museums, and private collections around the world. Art.sy is powered by The Art Genome Project, an ongoing study of the characteristics that distinguish and connect works of art. Art.sy evaluates artworks along 200+ characteristics-such as art-historical movements, subject matter, and formal qualities-to create a powerful search experience that reflects the multifaceted aspects of works of art.

StumbleUpon is the cabinet of curiosities of the web. StumbleUpon is the unGoogle, a curated collection of stuff you didn't even know you were looking for. I stumbled around in the arts section and saw more great stuff than in a week on Twitter.

Suchmaschinen-Optimierung (SEO) ist auch für WordPress und Blogs generell ein wichtiges Thema, wenngleich ein Blog aufgrund Struktur und Vernetzung bereits gute Voraussetzungen für die Suchmaschinenoptimierung (SEO) mitbinrgen. Aber unabhängig von Zielen des jeweiligen Blogs und Qualität der Suchmaschinenbesucher für Blogs sollte jeder Weblogger das Potential seines Weblogs ausschöpfen. Eine wichtige Quelle für viele Besucher sind gute Suchmaschinenplatzierungen.

This article provides an overview for anyone producing content about these two options. We argue that most content producers should focus on the mobile web, especially if they want to make their content more widely accessible. Mobile apps may be appropriate if looking for new sources of revenue, or deep user engagement, but many other factors make the mobile web the more sensible platform for most content producers.

19th Century Poor Law Union and Workhouse Records: You can search and download documents from a number of Poor Law Unions across England and Wales, from series reference MH 12. We are fortunate to be able to provide free access to the records because this is a project by The National Archives with the aid of, and in partnership with, volunteers in several parts of the country.

RS combines research tools with social networking applications such as forums, wikis and blogs. The research tools are launched from a custom toolbar embedded into the collaboration application itself and therefore they are easily incorporated into a project's workflow . Essentially these research tool 'plug-ins' provide an additional layer of functionality so that data and digital assets can be searched and edited while engaging in more informal collaboration and communication activity. Conversely, it is the collaboration activity that creates opportunities for more formal data recording.

ne of the core questions behind Web 2.0 and user participation (especially in the museum context) is this: what is the proper role and relationship of experts and amateur enthusiasts?

On Saturday 29 April 2000 the V&A staged its first Day of Record, a proposed series of events cataloguing applied and decorative arts in relation to the body. Over 1500 tattooed people visited the Museum on that day to have their artworks photographed for inclusion in the V&A digital archive of tattoos. This site is the product of that day.

Museum und Archiv als Bildungsorte Museen und Archive sind das Gedächtnis unerer Gesellschaft. Sie sind wichtiger Objekt- und Informationsspeicher und legen Zeugnisse unserer Vergangenheit ab. In ihnen werden Informationen und Wissen aufbewahrt und generiert, die für Bildung und Erziehung herangezogen und für die Gesellschaft nutzbar gemacht werden. [Vgl. Gruber 2009, S. 72] Gruber, M. R.
