[Sue Nugus]

Hello
This is the Extended call for papers for the 3rd European Conference on Social Media ECSM 2016 being hosted by EM Normandie, Caen, France on the 12-13 July 2016.
This call will close on the 16th December 2015.
There is no doubt, social media have and will have a huge impact on our societies ...With social media,  a stranger can become a friend or a cyberbully in one click; a nobody can become a star ... even what we think true might just be the last buzz. No sphere of our life (education, government, businesses...) is spared. Connected yes ... but connected to what, to whom, for what and what might happen if you are not connected
Social media is being adopted and applied in almost every area of human activity, be it for personal applications, in education, for commercial applications or in the public sector. The rapid uptake of social media is related to many factors including its ease of use and adaptability to different devices.

  *   Social media and innovation
