IADIS International Conference Web Based Communities and Social Media 2011 Rome, Italy 22 - 24 July 2011

Social Media are growing rapidly and play an increasingly important role in the development of Online Communities. Web
based communities announce themselves both in your professional and private life through several new media such
as LinkedIn, Twitter, Plaxo, etc. Social media allow dynamic roles in participation, virtual presence and online
communities. These new ways to communicate via online social media are having great societal effects and are
motivating the creation of best practices to help individuals, corporations and authorities to make the best of it. Aware
of the growing impact of social media and the influence of web based communities in today’s users/consumers behaviour,
many organisations spend an increasing share of their budget in online social marketing strategies.

The mission of this conference is to publish and integrate scientific results and act catalytically to the fast developing
culture of web communities, while helping to disseminate and understand the latest developments social media and
their impact.
