“…The booming of technology has not only transformed how people communicate, looking at the massive use of social media among the consumers in particular, but also leading the business makers to seize this online market segment as potentially more lucrative. Ricciardelli, Nackerud, Quinn, Sewell and Casiano (2020) defined the social media as an extensive assembly of applications run over the internet and powered by the users themselves; as they contribute to both the content creation as well as exchange. The six various forms of social media, as adapted from Grahl (2016), include (i) social networking sites like Facebook, (ii) bookmarking sites like del.icio, (iii) micro blogging sites like Twitter, (iv) media sharing sites like YouTube, (v) social news sites like Reddit, and (vi) blogs and forums like Wordpress.…”

Business environment in Malaysia has become more competitive due to the advancement of technology and globalisation including the small and medium enterprises (SMEs). SMEs have so long devised various marketing strategies in order to penetrate the online advertisement clutter alongside improving their performance. Past studies have shown that using ICT such as social media help to improve SMEs’ performance. The owner-managers themselves determine the adoption of social media in their marketing due to the process of information collection and analysis are highly relied on them. Most of the SMEs have their own websites but these are primarily used as an information tool only. Thus, this study investigated the mediating role of social media marketing adoption between technological support, organisational support, government support and competitive intelligence towards the performance of SME. The theoretical framework of this study is substantiated by Resource-based View (RBV) theory and supported by Technology, Environment and Organisation (TOE) framework. This study has been carried out in the East Coast region of Malaysia consisting of Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang states and also employed a questionnaire survey method. From 1920 questionnaires distributed, 339 responses were returned and found usable for the final analysis using the structural equation model partial least square (SEM-PLS). The findings revealed that the adoption of social media marketing mediates the relationship between these technological, organisational, and government supports, the competitive intelligence, and SME performance. Finally, the study’s theoretical and practical implications as well as the limitations and directions for future research were provided and discussed.

“…Some scholars have argued that social media helps in the sharing of public or private messages. As such, the essence of social media is to network the globe within a defined territory (Nations, 2018;Ricciardelli, 2020). However, the crux of installing social platforms on personal devices in recent times has trampled its ethical code.…”

“…Another definition of social media refers to "internet-based application built on Web 2.0, while Web 2.0 refers to a concept as well as a platform for harnessing collective intelligence" (Hunag & Benyoucef, 2013). Ricciardelli et al (2020) opined that the concept of social media thinks about "people's privacy, confidentiality and professional boundaries." Social media becomes public when it carries information beyond an individual's consumption.…”

“…From the arguments and observations above, it is obvious that social media is an object of information for communicating with a wider audience. Whether genuine or fake news, the use of social media has affected communities, and this makes society a discursive one (Edelman, 2018;Morner & Olauson, 2017;Ricciardelli, 2020). Against this backdrop, the main thrust of this research is to present evidences on the negative and positive consequences/effects of social media on the recent coronavirus pandemic in South-east Nigeria.…”

The escalation of the Coronavirus to other countries around the world prompted WHO to declare the virus on January 30, 2020 a public health emergency (WHO, 2020). In lieu of its quick spread and high mortality rate, the WHO termed the virus a pandemic. However, in Nigeria, efforts to contain and sensitize the populace about this pandemic were put in place, media platforms were copiously engaged by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), sensitizing the masses on the preventive measures against the coronavirus. Despite their efforts, some social media users inundated the people with fake news, 'end-time' religious teachings, rumors and misinformation about 5G ultra-waves. The dominant questions are: what roles did the different social media platforms play in information dissemination on Covid-19 in Southeast Nigeria? What were peoples' reactions to these messages? How do the people view messages from government viz-a-viz their religious leaders or other sources? Why do individuals deem it necessary to 'forward' such messages to relatives, friends and different social media platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook? In answering these questions, this qualitative study explores social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, blogs, online newspapers and YouTube where the contestations about the pandemic are most pronounced. This study through its finding using statistical frequencies, demonstrates that before the detection of the first victim of Covid-19 in Nigeria, the region was already agog with social media (mis)information about the pandemic causing panic among the populace followed by the frenzy need to 'forward' such messages to those in their contacts. In lieu of this, this study examines these contestations and contradictions about Covid-19 in Southeast Nigeria.

“…Nowadays, social media affects human development and behaviors. In the research (Ricciardelli et al, 2020), students that work over social media in the United States have explored through the use of social media, where it has been suggested that spreading interests that fall within the occupational scope of working over social media explores variables of importance and ethical implications. Within the students' data are their use of social, their knowledge of social media and their attitudes towards it; The results reveal that working over social media makes students appear to have conflicting attitudes toward social media that sometimes interfere with their self-knowledge and their use of social media.…”

Internet-based tools and social media are greatly developed in the tech world. Today, technology is widely accepted and used by all generations. These tools are great and very useful for students in terms of learning, collaboration and information sharing. We aim to present a model for learning programming in social learning environments with the context of the Affinity Research Group (ARG) model. The proposed model is called "Learning Programming in Social Environments within Affinity Group (LPSEAG)". We test the proposed model for two academic years. A comparative approach was used. In the experiment, we divide the students into two categories: (1) Learn programming in the context of using the LPSEAG model, (2) Learn programming in the context of social media groups. Qualitative and quantitative results are compared for the two categories. From the results obtained it was clearly found that the students' satisfaction was high on working within a group using the LPSEAG model compared to the responses of students that use social media groups only. Moreover, the quantitative results support the assumptions that the use of LPSEAG model in learning programming in the introductory programming courses enhances the learning outcomes. Learning programming in groups enhances the learning outcomes for students whatever the student's programming level. Teachers are encouraged to create students' programming groups and implement LPSEAG model to increase learning outcomes and facilitate learning environments for students over-distance. More researches are needed to develop CVLEs which encourage students to learn programming with teams over distance.
