It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2nd ACM SIGMM International Workshop on Social Media -- WSM'10. This workshop aims to be the premier forum for presentation of research results and experience reports on leading edge issues of social media research, including models, systems, applications, and theory. The mission of the workshop is to share novel ideas, methods and techniques that address the emerging challenges of social media research and identify new directions for future research and development. WSM gives researchers and practitioners a unique opportunity to share their perspectives with others interested in the various aspects of social media.
The call for papers attracted 17 submissions from Asia, Europe, and the United States. The program committee accepted 10 papers that cover a variety of topics, including social media analysis on social networks, social media tagging, social group discovery and summarization from social media, and emerging applications with social media. In addition, the program includes two keynote speeches, one by Ramesh Sarukkai on "Creating the Perfect Social Video Stream", and the other by Daniel Gatica- Perez on "The You in YouTube". We hope that these proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for social media researchers and developers.
