: Recent research on reading situation in Poland indicates decreasing interest in books among adults. This tendency is also supposedly followed by changes in reading models as well as different ways of reader-text interactions. Since internauts are generally believed to be a non-reading community, an online questionnaire for Facebook users was prepared, a group which is quite easy to reach, to get a better insight into the situation. The research was carried out between April 23rd and May 3rd 2011 on a group of 150 respondents. It focused on book reading and purchasing intensity, book choices, most commonly used book sources, reading traditional magazines, online magazines, e-books and using digital libraries. It was available in either Polish or English language version. A total of 138 respondents from Poland, USA, UK, Tunisia, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Finland, Germany, Mexico, South Korea and Switzerland took part, one origin unknown. Most of them (74,67%) were people between 17 and 35 years old, the eldest one being 77, the youngest 13. Out of 138 interviewees, 110 were women, over 76% lived in urban areas and declared their education level as higher (57,3%) or secondary (28,7%). The results proved surprisingly optimistic. Only 9 interviewees admitted that they had not read any books in the last 12 months, others read 0–2 or 3–5 books a month. Fantasy, suspense fiction and classical novels were the most popular among them. When asked about favourite titles, respondents listed mainly classics of world literature and popular bestsellers. Reviews as well as recommendations of family members or friends had the greatest influence on their reading choices. Almost 75% of survey participants bought books, usually once a month or once every few months, however, they preferred to borrow them from libraries or friends. Almost half of Polish respondents read e-books and online magazines, although they avoided using digital libraries. They also read traditional print magazines, especially political and social ones, women and popular science magazines. As the results show, reading still remains one of the most popular forms of spending free time for both interviewed Facebook users and other members of their communities. Books are also a popular subject of their conversations and discussions in both real and virtual space.

Nowadays it is not only violence or crime which are classified as incorrect. There is a wide range of actions extended by behavioral ones. This issue is very complex because there is no clear-cut definition of what behavioral addiction is and what it isn’t. The aim of the research is to define the level of use and addiction to social media, e.g. Facebook.

Współcześnie to już nie tylko przemoc czy przestępczość klasyfikują się do nieprawidłowych zachowań – ten wachlarz znacznie się rozszerzył o zachowania określane jako behawioralne. Zagadnienie to jest niezwykle złożone, dlatego że nie ma jednoznacznego określenia, czym jest, a czym nie jest tzw. uzależnienie behawioralne. Celem badań było określenie poziomu aktywności i uzależnienia od portalu społecznościowego Facebook, klasyfikowanego do wskazanego uzależnienia.

Do niedawna media społeczne kojarzone były głównie z rozrywką, a serwisy społecznościowe traktowane jako kolejne, po komunikatorach, narzędzie porozumiewania się młodych ludzi. Najpopularniejszy na świecie serwis społecznościowy – Facebook ma ponad miliard użytkowników1, a wśród nich coraz więcej firm, które podążają ze swym przekazem za użytkownikami – do mediów społecznościowych. Rośnie również liczba rekruterów, którzy chętnie sięgają po te narzędzia. W artykule przedstawiono wykorzystanie mediów społecznościowych przez polskich rekruterów jako nowego narzędzia rekrutacji oraz podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie, z których narzędzi korzystają oni najczęściej. Badania stanowią jedynie wstępną fazę szerszego projektu.

Until recently, it seemed that social media was a topic for entertainment and that social networking sites were another tool for the messaging among young people. The world’s most popular social network – Facebook – has more than one billion users, including a growing number of companies that with their message follow their users to social media. The number of recruiters who are willing to reach for these tools is also increasing. This article presents the use of social media by Polish recruiters as a new tool for recruitment and answers the question which tools do they use the most frequently. The study is only an initial phase of a larger project.

Celem artykułu jest sformułowanie zasad grzeczności językowej, obowiązujących w polskich mediach społecznościowych (dalej MS). By zminimalizować ryzyko błędu badawczego, bezpośredniej analizie poddano przykładową stronę najpopularniejszego w Polsce serwisu społecznościowego Facebook. Przeprowadzone analizy pokazały, że: na kształt grzeczności wpływają m.in. techniczne możliwości medium; akceptowanymi zachowaniami komunikacyjnymi jest mówienie o sobie samym i formułowanie pośrednich aktów mowy; za równorzędne uznawane są komunikaty werbalne i pozawerbalne; najważniejsze kulturowe zasady grzecznościowe to nastawienie na szczerość rozmowy i prześmiewczy stosunek do rzeczywistości; choć przejawy tradycyjnego modelu grzeczności i modelu obowiązującego w MS różnią się, to oba modele opierają się na tym samym skrypcie komunikacyjnym – dostosowaniu się do oczekiwań odbiorcy.

The main objective of this article is to formulate the principles of linguistic politeness that are operative in Polish social media (SM). The analysis focuses on the most popular SM in Poland – Facebook. The research has shown that the form of linguistic politeness operative in SM depends on: technical functionality; talking about oneself and using indirect speech acts is a commonly accepted behaviour in SM; verbal and non-verbal messages are considered equivalent acts of linguistic politeness; the most important cultural principles underlying linguistic politeness in SM are an orientation towards sincerity of conversation and a ridiculing attitude towards reality. Although the manifestations of the traditional and the social media model of linguistic politeness differ, both use the same communication script: conforming to the expectations of the recipient.

The article focuses on the online communication on Polish Facebook and Twitter around issues related to mortgage loans in Swiss francs. Based on 20k posts retrieved from both Facebook and Twitter, we found the most active actors and the most common topics appearing on those micro-public spheres. It was revealed that actors with institutional affiliation and those who are not affiliated discuss different problems and share dissimilar content related to Swiss franc debts. It was also found that certain categories of actors may influence online discussions on both social networking sites by promoting specific content in order to pursue their institutional interests. Finally, the diversity of topics and problems discussed by the two categories of actors identified on Facebook and Twitter suggest that Swiss franc mortgage holders are a good example of “connective action” with no clear identity or community traits that led to favourable judgment of the European Court of Justice.

The paper shows the results of analysis of the motivations and selected aspect of functioning of tourist companies profiles on Facebook and its influence on secondary social bonds creation between users and a company. Ten companies from Podlaskie Voivodeship having the products and services associated with the active tourism were chosen as a subject of research. The research was conducted based on the author’s self-completion questionnaire and observation of the Facebook profiles content. Comments of users were classified based on the AIDA model. The activity of the competition was the main reason for the creation of the company Facebook profiles. The need for building long-lasting relations with the users indicated only 10% of respondents. At the same time half of the respondents does not notice significant benefits for a company from the functioning of its profile on Facebook. The results of the analysis of comments of users on analyzed companies profiles show that most of them concern the company and its employees or recommended products and tourist services, whereas they rarely relate to users tourist experience associated with the past or planned using of the firm offer. The ability of Facebook use as a platform of social secondary bonds creation, based on common interests of users, has been reported.

This article presents the findings of a study concerning the use of the social media platform, Facebook, by local politicians to express their opinion on national political disputes. The analysis covered entries published by local politicians from the Silesian municipal boroughs, on their accounts over a period of 16 months, from the day of the parliamentary elections in 2015. The study revealed, among other data, that the fact and frequency of publishing posts concerning political disputes in social media depends on whether the local politician is a councillor or a president of the municipality and whether he/she is a representative of a main political party or not. The analyses also showed that nearly 80% of entries on national political disputes have a different author than the person who publishes the posts, and local politicians merely share posts made available by other people.

The aim of the article is to analyze the relations between the Facebook’s content filter algorithm system and the filter bubble effect – a digital bubble that surrounds a user with personalized content and information, also isolating him from the information that does not fir his viewpoint. The Facebook’s content filter algorithm – also known as EdgeRank – is controversial due to its mechanism that prevents certain amount of information from reaching user. This invisible selection system might significantly affect the way we perceive the world – it traps us in a peculiar information bubble. The presented conclusions are to help in understanding the way the EdgeRank works, how it results in creating filter bubbles and what are the main threats being posed by it as well as the methods of reducing its negative effects.

Social media, such as Facebook, play an important role in human life. More and more often we can observe them also finding their way into the world of children, who use them to achieve specific benefits. The research sample consisted of children aged 10-12, namely those who-due to the restrictions in the Facebook regulations-are not allowed to use it. The purpose of the study was to identify the number of children aged 10-12 who use Facebook, as well as how they use this medium. The research findings, obtained in the diagnostic survey and the focus interview, indicate that: the vast majority of the respondents have accounts on Facebook, and the older the child, the greater the probability that he/she has his/her own profile. Girls have more friends and photos on the Facebook profile than boys, and the number of friends grows along with the users’ age. The research results presented in the article are the benchmark for educational activities that should be undertaken in order to regulate the usage of Facebook by children under 13 years of age.

The influence of the social media on science communication: strategies of GMO opponents on FacebookThe aim of the article is to discuss a growing role of the social media in science communication. Unlike in traditional mass media – TV, radio, press – the Web 2.0 tools allow to convey a much wider representation of opinions on science and technology, including those opposing or questioning the mainstream research. This paper presents the strategies of communication used by one of the biggest Polish anti-GMO groups on Facebook (“GMO To Nie To”) to raise their arguments and gain public support. It concludes that the use of new communication tools such as the social media introduces inevitable changes in the dynamic of science communication, which opens new research opportunities. Wpływ mediów społecznościowych na komunikację naukową: strategie przeciwników GMO na FacebookuCelem artykułu jest wskazanie na rosnącą rolę mediów społecznościowych w komunikacji naukowej. W przeciwieństwie do mediów tradycyjnych – telewizji, radia i prasy – narzędzia, jakie oferuje Web 2.0, pozwalają na reprezentację daleko bardziej różnorodnych opinii na temat nauki i technologii, również tych, które przeciwstawiają się powszechnie uznawanym wynikom badań lub je kwestionują. W dalszej części artykułu wskazane zostały strategie komunikacyjne największej na polskim Facebooku grupy skupiającej przeciwników GMO („GMO To Nie To”), stosowane, by zyskać wsparcie dla swoich racji i argumentów. Artykuł kończy się konkluzją, że wykorzystanie nowych narzędzi komunikacyjnych, np. mediów społecznościowych, wprowadza nieuchronne zmiany w dynamice komunikacji naukowej, co otwiera jednocześnie nowe możliwości badawcze.

Facebook as a new source of social exclusion in Web 2.0 eraSocial life in the 21st century is no longer composed simply of direct communication but also of technology-mediated one. Moreover, these two patterns of communication are both equally important. In such cyberreal world the Internet not only is the equalizing force which reduces traditionally understood social divisions but also offers additional opportunities and creates a new kind of social exclusion – the social network exclusion. The main aim of this article is an analysis of the mechanisms created by Facebook that exclude and limit the access to its content, as compared with the traditional forms of social life and exclusion. Facebook jako źródło wykluczenia społecznego ery Web 2.0W XXI wieku życie społeczne opiera się już nie tylko na komunikacji bezpośredniej, ale jest również zapośredniczone cyfrowo, przy czym obie te sfery są sobie równoważne. W tak rozumianym cyberrealnym świecie internet nie jest wyłącznie siłą zacierającą tradycyjne podziały społeczne, lecz oferuje techniczne możliwości i sprzyja tworzeniu nowego typu wykluczenia – społecznościowego. Głównym celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza portalu Facebook pod kątem mechanizmów wykluczających i ograniczających dostęp do zgromadzonych w serwisie treści w kontekście tradycyjnych form życia i wykluczenia społecznego.

Politicians and political campaigns are not inadvertent to the development of social media platforms as environments that allow access to a larger audience. Not relying solely on the traditional media as a mouthpiece for their messages and taking matters into their own hands offers new segues for analyzing political communication. However, not all elections are of equal interest, both for the electorate and for the candidates, as second-order election theory suggests (Reif & Schmitt, 1980; Hix & Marsh, 2004). Th is paper investigates the area situated at the intersection of these two research directions. This quantitative study aims to analyze how Romanian political parties and candidates used Facebook in the electoral campaign for the European Parliament, in May 2019. The study follows the correlation between Facebook metrics, like frequency of posts and the popularity of the pages, and the political agendas refl ected in each party’s Facebook posts. The conclusions are consistent with second-order elections theory, but raise questions about the dependable nature of Facebook metrics.

This study aims to determine the influence of the use of e-portfolio tasks through the Facebook network on the creativity of students in the subject of physics in junior high school. One Group Pretest-Posttest research design was used in the quasi-experimental research type, which included 31 first-year students (Grade 7), selected by purposive sampling for the research sample. Data collection techniques were conducted using tests, performance assessment, portfolio assessment, observation, and teacher interviews. Data analysis was conducted with the use of correlation test and correlation hypothesis test. T-test was used to analyse the data collected. The result from the post-test showed that there was a positive and significant influence on the students’ creativity in physics. Based on the results of data analysis, the obtained correlation coefficient was 0.99965 with very strong correlation interpretation, and tcount > ttable. Thus, it can be concluded that there was a positive and significant influence of the e-portfolio tasks through the Facebook network on students’ creativity in physics lessons at junior high school.
