Availability of Papers and Posters
How come they are not available on the accepted papers list at http://www.icwsm.org/2009/papers.shtml?
Any suggestions on what is the best way to get them?

drinking tonight
for those of you thinking the beer selection yesterday was missing Guinness, I'll be probably spending some time at the Brit Arm from around 8 (I'm totally jet lagged so it will not be a long night for me). Feel free to join.
The pub is walking distance from the hotel (~10min).

Fitzgerald Steele:
I like beer. :)
Oren Tsur:
[for those who seek me and not the drink] I'm still at the the posters session so I'll probably get to the place closer to 21:00 or 21:30.

This is a fundamental question that bugs me a lot*. I was wondering about the validity of social science insights that were learned by analyzing social media data.
We are obviously thrilled to use the huge amounts of data available online to draw sociological conclusions and learn patterns of human interactions/preferences/... - but can we really generalize those observations to social patterns in general or should we restrict our insigh...... [read more]

an evening to San Francisco
Hi, this is my first time in CA and I'm planning an half-day to San Francisco city. I propose you to share this experience on tuesday 19 (afternoon: san jose -> Fremont by taxi, Fremont -> San Francisco by metro (Bart)...evening/night: San Francisco -> San Jose by taxi because is the only option).
Telmo Couto:
Don't you have the CalTrain? I would love to join you and visit San Francisco, but I'll have to attend the poster session..
danilo:
Thank you for the information, caltrain is THE solution. I propose you to change the date. If you are agree we can visit san francisco on wednesday, may 20. Example: san josè -> san francisco 1:40 pm, return 9:40 -> 11:11 pm. See you today
Telmo Couto:

Alternate/Cheaper hotels
Anyone know the San Jose area? I agree with Sharon that the $185 + tax is kinda spendy. Anyone know of any other hotels that might be a bit more cost effective?
Oren Tsur:
I don't know much about SJ area but personally I'm staying at te Motel-6 some 2.5 miles from the conference venue. I'm intending to rent a bike so I commute faster and I could also see more of the city this way.
Ah, motel 6 is 60$ a night. I don't know about bike rental prices but there is a bike shop (~Bicycle Express) next to SJSU which is just next to the conference.
Dan Knights:
I'm staying at the Hotel Montgomery (http://www.hotelmontgomerysj.com/), about 1 block from the Marriott (http://tinyurl.com/ob649q). Currently $116.75/night on hotels.com. I called the hotel directly and they matched the hotels.com price.

Data!
I hope everyone will stick around for the data challenge workshop on the last day of the conference. Kevin Burton from Spinn3r will be speaking, and we'll have a wish-list discussion about data.
On the subject of social media data, the TREC blog track (http://ir.dcs.gla.ac.uk/wiki/TREC-BLOG) has a brand-new dataset out this year. TREC develops data for measuring search tasks like blog finding.
What's your dream dataset? Or maybe you h...... [read more]
Yelena Mejova:
Indeed, I welcome everyone to stay for the workshops. (I will be presenting on topic tracking in the Spinn3r dataset).
The BLOGS08 dataset is certainly very attractive (and sizable). It has quite a few features of my dream dataset. So, the features I would look for in a dataset are:
- Posts come with the corresponding comments (it would be especially nice if these were already separated from the post and stored in XML instead of one HTML page for both post and its comments which would need more processing)
- Comments are downloaded only for "aged" posts, so as to give the post some time to acquire some comments.
- Linking analysis done
- Spans a wide variety of topics, especially topics that can be tracked in (synced to) other sources like news or product reviews.
- Evenly distributed across time (no one day is favored by the collecting process)
- Spam removed (can decrease the size of the dataset)
- Topical relevance determined. One way is to look at the user-generated "category" tags or (now I'm dreaming!) some expert-labeled topics (as in TREC's relevance judgments).
- Includes both high and low quality blogs (professional blogs vs personal).
Sorry for such a long list! The BLOGS08 dataset should arrive at our U shortly... There was some talk about having a complementary collection of news articles for that period of time, but I don't see it in the description of the final dataset...

Eytan Adar
Eytan: thanks for inviting authors to post their presentations to slideshare (http://www.slideshare.net) during the conference. Three authors have accepted the invitation, which seems like a very low acceptance rate for a community that studies social media. Perhaps there's a bias against participating in (i.e., only observing, analyzing, reporting on) social media among some of the researchers, but I think it would to everyone's advantage to share the knowledge beyond the sessions (especially to share the knowledge below the bottom third of the slides, that most of us who were at the conference could not even see).
I would like to invite you to send directed emails to authors to point them to SlideShare, a wonderful social media resource for sharing information about, well, sharing information.
Thanks!

Themes in ICWSM 2008
Looking back at ICWSM this year I noticed a few recurring themes: "Using Word Net and Wikipedia to do/improve X,"
"Sentiment Analysis," and "Political Analysis."
What themes did you notice this year?
Fitzgerald Steele:
I posted some thoughts...would love to hear what others have to say.

Hi Matt:
I've also heard folks asking for a roster of attendees. How difficult would it be to create one (PDF, maybe) and post it in here or link to it in here?
I know it'd be great for me as I've met people where I didn't grab a business card and they haven't registered here. :-/
It would also provide an incentive to set up an account!
Finally, I think we should keep this "up" for networking between now and next year and to use in next year's conference as well.
