As social network services has become one of the most successful web-based business, recommendation in social network sites that assist people to choose various products and services is also widely adopted. Collaborative Filtering is one of the most widely adopted recommendation approaches, but recommendation technique that use explicit or implicit social network information from social networks has become proposed in recent research works. In this paper, we reviewed and compared research works about recommendation using social network analysis and collaborative filtering in social network sites. As the results of the analysis, we suggested the trends and implications for future research of recommendation in SNSs. It is expected that graph-based analysis on the semantic social network and systematic comparative analysis on the performances of social filtering and collaborative filtering are required.

Due to the explosive growth of online social network users, large numbers of users discover these social network sites are a place where they can be able to spend their spare time, share feelings, ideas freely, and to search for new friends or partners. These web sites give an opportunity for its users to socialize with new people and to keep in touch or reconnect with current or old friends and families across disperse continents via these web sites, which traditionally replace the traditional methods. These social network web sites need careful investigations and findings on the usability for effective interactivity and more usability. However, little research might have previously invested on the usability of these on social network web sites. Therefore, we propose a new framework to study the usability of these social network sites. We namely call our framework "Interactivity". This framework will enable us to assess the usability of the social network sites. It will provide an overview of the user's behavior while interacting in these social network web sites. Measurement of the interactivity will be measured using Camtasia software. This software will entirely capture the interactivity of users including the screen and the movements, which the screen and the motion of the user action will undergo to analysis at the end of our research.

Due to the wide growth and popularity of social network website, large numbers of users discover these social network sites are a place where they can be able to spend their leisure time sharing interests, sharing ideas freely, sharing personal experience, and also to search for new friends or partners. These websites give an opportunity for its users to socialize with new people and to keep in touch or reconnect with current or old friends and families across disperse continents, which traditionally replace the common traditional methods. These social network websites need accurate and careful investigations and findings on the usability issues for effective interactivity and more usability. However, little research might have previously invested on the usability of these social network websites. Therefore, we propose a new framework to study and test the usability of these social network sites. We namely call our framework "Interactivity". This framework will enable developers to assess the usability of the social network sites. It will provide an overview of the user's behavior while interacting in these social network websites. Performance of the framework will be performed using Camtasia software. This software will entirely capture the interactivity of users including the screen and the movements, which the screen and the motion of the user action will undergo to analysis at the end of our research.

최근 들어 소셜 네트워크 사이트가 많아지면서 사용자들은 선택의 폭이 넓어졌다. 그리하여 다른 소셜 네트워크 사이트로의 이동이 쉬워짐으로서 소셜 네트워크 프레임을 구성하는데 충성도 개념이 중요하게 인식되기 시작하였다. 그러나 소셜 네트워크 분야에서 충성도의 연구는 아직 미묘한 수준이다. 전자상거래시대의 웹사이트 충성도는 사이트의 만족도와 신뢰성을 기반으로 개발되었다. 그러나 소셜 네트워크 사이트의 특성상 회원들의 충성도를 측정하기에는 어려움이 많다. 본 연구에서 우리는 소셜 네트워크 사이트의 서비스 품질 향상을 위한 잠재적인 회원을 찾을 수 있는 회원 충성도 평가 RFM모델을 제안하고자 한다. 그리고 개선된 RFM모델을 실제 사례에 적용하여 분석하고 그 일련의 과정을 기술하였다. 이는 연구 제안모델을 실제 비지니스에서 적용할 수 있다는 것을 제시함으로서 논문의 실용성을 높이고자 하였다.

웹 2.0이 등장하면서 나타난 개념인 SNS(Social Network Service 또는 Social Network Sites)는 오프라인에서 만 존재하던 사회적 관계망을 온라인에서 구축한 친목기반 인맥 형성 서비스이다. 페이스북(Facebook), 마이스페이스(Myspace), 트위터(Twiter)등과 같은 외국 SNS와 싸이월드(Cyworld), 미투데이(Me2Day)등과 같은 국내 SNS는 지속적인 인기를 누리며, 인터넷 환경의 주요한 응용 분야로 자리 잡고 있다. 이러한 SNS는 모든 사용자들이 타인과 협력하고 정보를 공유하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있기 때문에, 웹을 사용하는데 어려움을 가지고 있는 노인과 장애인들이 사용하기에 적절한 인터페이스를 제공하고 있는지 웹 접근성을 평가할 필요가 있다. 웹 접근성은 인지적, 신체적 특징에 상관없이 모든 사람에게 동등한 웹 기회를 제공하고 있는가를 나타내는 지표이다. 만약, SNS가 웹 접근성이 낮아 노인과 장애인이 사용하지 못한다면, 노인, 장애인과 일반사용자의 정보격차는 점점 늘어나서 사회적 문제가 될 것이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 웹 접근성 평가 도구인 KADO-WAH 2.0과 웹 접근성 표준 문서인 WCAG(Web Contents Accessibility Guideline) 2.0을 기반으로 SNS인 페이스북과 싸이월드의 웹 접근성을 평가하여, 웹 접근성 준수 현황을 파악하고, 개선방향을 제시하고자 한다.

This paper examines user's loyalty to social network sites (SNS) from switching costs (SC) incurred by both technology and social factors. We propose a research model specifying that the perceived values of resources of the factors affect the SC and the SC determine user's loyalty. Empirical results show that technology variables of ease of use and privacy controllability, and social variables such as network size, usefulness of SNS activities, and awareness of network status have significant effect on SC. In particular, ease of use is negatively associated with SC. Since it is shown that in overall the impact of social factors is stronger than that of technology factors, we can interpret that technological superiority itself does not lead to the success of SNS. Contributions of this paper are: 1) application of SC in SNS research from the resource based perspective, which can be used for developing strategies of sustainable SNS, and 2) provision of different perspective toward the variable of ease of use, which has been considered an important factor of technology acceptance.

A cross-cultural comparison of social networking structure on McDonald's Facebook fan sites between Taiwan and the USA was conducted utilizing the individualism/collectivism dimension proposed by Hofstede. Four network indicators are used to describe the network structure of McDonald's Facebook fan sites: size, density, clique and centralization. Individuals who post on both Facebook sites for the year of 2012 were considered as network participants for the purpose of the study. Due to the huge amount of data, only one thread of postings was sampled from each month of the year of 2012. The final data consists of 1002 postings written by 896 individuals and 5962 postings written by 5532 individuals from Taiwan and the USA respectively. The results indicated that the USA McDonald's Facebook fan network has more fans, while Taiwan's McDonald's Facebook fan network is more densely connected. Cliques did form among the overall multiplex and within the individual uniplex networks in two countries, yet no significant differences were found between them. All the fan networks in both countries are relatively centralized, mostly on the site operators.
