That’s going to have to be it for me! If anyone from UNC wants to upload their notes from the last two presentations, get in touch!
Congrats to the organizers of Seminar 2011: The Curation of Social Media as a Public Asset from the IMLS-funded project “Educating Stewards of Public Information in the 21st Century.”

1:57 .org domain rather than .gov cause three years ago .gov couldn’t use cookies. that’s changed now, but DocsTeach started back then. Foundation for archives raised “serious money” for the site, done by Second Story.
1:52 The projects created by users “do not have permanent archival value.” Focus is on primary source documents.
1:50 Me: I’m wondering what it would take to create a similar project for the historical and personal documents of Orange County.
1:40 involves 4k out of billions of documents at NARA. Seven tools based on cognitive behaviors. Not just documents, but an ability for users to create.
1:37 More than 1700 activities created since launch. “A new online tool for teaching with documents”

1:34 Two takes on LOC involvement: on one hand, people won’t share as much cause it’s going to be archived VS why are you favoring Twitter over other social media? Finishes up.
1:32 LOC copyright office says 140 characters is not enough to claim intellectual property! Someone wrote in all caps claiming their life work was done through Twitter! Concern is noted, but does not seem to be a “high degree of claim” on intellectual property. me: that seems off to me. it’s valuable as a communication platform, why not IP?
1:29 Twitter wanted LOC to delete Tweets – LOC doesn’t delete things! Twitter sends delete notices, and LOC will make it unavailable. Having to work out compromise and strategy right now for things like slander in Tweets.
1:22 Nothing is forever, we’ll collect tweets for as long as it works! Will be several months before service is available.
1:21 May partner with Internet Archive or link shorteners to have ways to collect context about where short links link to, but won’t be part of harvesting service.
1:20 Access ideas for collection: first priority is for researchers. Will be organized by times/days. Machine to machine access will come first for the researcher community. 1st researcher is from NIST. Hope to start more partnerships. No plans to recreate the twitter interface.
1:17 Tweets are part of the historical record. But we don’t know if Twitter will be around in 5 years, but the record of the communication space in this point in time will endure.
1:16 Twitter can give you an idea of what’s valuable and what needs to be collected. Every curator’s dream: tweets are already “tagged” with metadata! Just discovered a better Twitter hasghtag for this event: #socmedpub
1:13 %50 of twitter users in congress in September 2009 were republicans vs 31% democrats. 27% were tweets about geolocative activities. 5% were about “official business”
1:10 @h0d3r tweets: following personal tweets. the personal tweets augmented the story presented by the media of a political dissident.
1:07 big categories of inquiries re: twitter data: status is almost half. also big: social science, personal. me: commercial and privacy inquiries surprisingly small slice of pie.
1:06 How will people want to use this archive? Biggest question: Is it ready? No! Only yesterday got first data back from partner company.
1:05 LOC was not prepared for response to announcement about archiving tweets. Thousands of news articles
1:02 Says my fave StoryCorps is often depressing! http://storycorps.org/
Didn’t know that LOC guy had announced archiving Tweets! PR scramble. Twitter announcement has 120k hits vs next most popular blog post at 40k!
21st-Century Broadsides: Twitter as a Corpus for Artistic, Historical, and Scientific Inquiry up next at 1 pm.
Javier Velasco-Martin
11:24 People tend not to self-disclose about family on Twitter, but lots about politics. Health SD is fairly even across blogs, Facebook, Twitter.
11:02 When people use computers, they tend to disclose more than in other their paper counterparts. Joinson, 2004

Presenting Intimate Disclosures in Public. Survey study: disclosure behavior in social media. issues in managing social media.
Focusing on early adopters.
I have to miss some of this talk to go help some pit-sitting Labbies! My student group wants to hear your story, come talk to us: http://www.uncstorylab.org/2011/01/come-see-us-in-the-pit-today/
Anne Klinefelter
Ken Thibodeau question: consumer needs better way to threaten litigation. Is that changing? Anne: Privacy law is like an old hammock with gaping holes. Most laws written in the 70s. We need a new model. End of presentation.
10:51 Some privacy polices have been found to be void. Can’t change things at any time – that’s not a contract. If you change your privacy settings, the user’s “terms of use” might have changed. Letting go of privacy is funding innovation. Facebook is free cause they get your information. The privacy policies are “all we’ve got” but they are of dubious value. Not strong contracts for the authors of the policies, e.g. the corporations.
10:45 Current use of privacy policies may be a failed solution. People don’t opt out because nobody reads. Doesn’t mean they really want their data shared. Puts burden on consumer.
10:41 Cultural regional differences in texting can be determined through data mining.
Privacy can be trumped: “National security: do you want to die, or do you want to be private?” Laughs from audience.
10:40 Danielle Citron’s one-way mirror: make sure Facebook isn’t spying on you and collection more information than you think!
10:34 Is social media use by govt a public record subject to FOIA laws? Definition of public records in NC. NC General Statute 132-1. This is an evolving area.
10:32 Does the social media contain info that itself triggers privacy law? Yes, sensitive info like SSNs and health info. Want to automatically redact this stuff, but has not been very successful. At PACER http://www.pacer.gov/
This is the bleeding edge of law which is always behind the curve on respecting cultural info.
10:29 More on Anne, Director of the Law Library and Associate Professor of Law: 
http://www.law.unc.edu/faculty/directory/klinefelteranne/
Most studies show that people don’t read privacy policies. “They respect my privacy because they sent me a privacy polilcy” ! The economic cost of not reading is huge.
10:27 If you are thinking about archiving social media, was it shared with an understanding that it was public? That it would be archived? E.g. doctor visit data.
10:24 She’s all about access…and all about privacy! Hard for leaders to balance these interests.
10:20
Ah, don’t worry folks, my calendar is located! Ever loose all your internet passwords in Chapel Hill somewhere? THAT is scary.
Anne Klinefelter – Public Information, Social Networking, and Privacy is up next

Quality of crowd-sourced annotation to records is a concern. Label it “additional unverified information.” Let the buyer beware.
Kenneth Thibodeau is finishing up. More on Ken: http://blogs.archives.gov/online-public-access/?p=3986
9:43
Lucky if you can catch 10% of the records generated through social media. What is the difference that social media makes in your business, and how do you capture the records that are relevant to those difference. Try to focus on capturing those records.
9:40
If you don’t know where to start, go to a professional records manager with a technological background or a consultant. Records are corporate information assets.
9:31
Suggests asking for input on major programmatic issues via social media. Me: This is more difficult for smaller institutions who don’t have the follower numbers. Dangerous to assume that social media will automatically get people to engage with you.
9:27
Strategic & Transformative Impact: Woah cool, custom Lego nick-nacks that the customer designs at the Lego site! You can even brand your box. Replacing work that used to be done by the marketing department.

Tactical Advantage. Pretty click maps: what kind of mouse movements lead to a sale? Data visualization of social media promotion.
9:21
By the way, if anyone with a UNC onyen wants to help with this, email me at nutt at unc.edu!
9:17 
Ken Thibodeau up now, who used to work with the National Archives and Records Administration. Talking about last study with NARA looking at social media and record management. Where are the records with social media? Too many to keep up with!
9:09
A bit late, I lost my calendar sometime and have been running around trying to find it! Grh. APB for a lonely pocket-sized black moleskine.
Here’s the conference link: http://ils.unc.edu/esopi21/seminar11.html
