This is a video of the talk I gave at the HCI2008 conference in Liverpool on 4th September 2008, entitled “News Not Noise: Socially-aware Information Filtering”.
I outline some of my key research findings regarding Facebook usage and suggest alternative interface concepts for browsing social news, making use of machine learning techniques and incorporating an understanding of social psychology.
For more details, please refer to the accompanying paper in Volume 2 of the conference proceedings, page. 115. The talk and paper are based on my undergraduate dissertation.
This talk won the Best Student Paper Presentation award for the conference.
