The International Conference on Weblogs and Social Media provides a
forum for researchers and industrial practitioners to present and to
discuss new research, applications, thoughts and ideas that are
shaping the future of social media analysis. Social media content now
accounts for the majority of content published daily on the web. As
the space evolves, researcher and industrial practitioners find
themselves at a key point for collaborating on research,
implementation and deployment of a wide range of analyses and
applications.
