[publication] All I need to know about Twitter in Education I learned in Kindergarten

Our publication at this year World Computer Congress about „All I need to know about Twitter in Education I learned in Kindergarten“ is now online as draft version available.
Abstract:

Share everything.
Play fair.
Don’t hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don’t take things that aren’t yours.
Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life – learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.

[publication] Get Granular on Twitter – Tweets from a Conference and their Limited Usefulness for Non-Participants

Our publication at this year World Computer Congress about „Get Granular on Twitter – Tweets from a Conference and their Limited Usefulness for Non-Participants“ is now online as draft version available.
Abstract:

The use of microblogging applications (especially Twitter) becomes common in different settings. Nowadays, active conference participants post messages on microblogging platforms to exchange information fast and in real- time. Recent research work addressed quantitative analyses in terms of number of tweets or active Twitter user in a specific time period. In this publication we look at the content of the contributions. It can be shown that only a few posts are of interest for non-participants of the corresponding event and that a meaningful usage of a microblogging application needs carefulness.

[iPhone app] clusterinfo.at

Im Rahmen der Lehrveranstaltung „AK Medientechnologien“ ist die App clusterinfo.at entwickelt worden:

The online information system of human.technology.styria offers the opportunity to get information about reliable partners. All members of the cluster are sorted by business lines. Their competences and products are clearly presented and easily accessible by full-text search function.

[iPhone App] Groupticketer

Im Rahmen der Lehrveranstaltung „AK Medientechnologien“ ist die App Groupticketer entwickelt worden:

Groupticketer macht es einfach Mitglieder für ein ÖBB-Gruppenticket zu finden. Ein Gruppenticket ist für normale KundInnen ab einer Größe von 6 Mitgliedern möglich und kostet um 40 % weniger als einzelne Zugtickets. Für Reisende mit ÖBB-Vorteilscard ist ein Gruppenticket schon ab 2 Personen (alle brauchen eine Vorteilscard) billiger.
Mit Groupticketer können Gruppen für verschiedene Strecken und Abfahrtszeiten angelegt und gesucht werden (siehe Screenshots). Danach können die BenutzerInnen sich für eine Gruppe an- oder wieder abmelden. Gruppenmitglieder können sich via Telefonanruf oder E-Mail direkt aus der App kontaktieren. Das Interface ist sehr intuitiv – eine Anleitung erübrigt sich.
