TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed pedagogic approaches to Facebook and highlighted the common denominator of Facebook and student-centered strategies in terms of didactic benefits and concluded that Facebook can be regarded and used as an effective and efficient educational tool.
Abstract: Educators have started to turn to social networking sites as they began to recognize the assistance that such sites may provide in information dissemination, creation and cooperation activities, and also in receiving feedback. As promoter of personality, individuality, self-expression, self-assertion, and communication, Facebook responds well to the particularities and requirements of the student-centered approach to teaching and learning. By critically analyzing certain pedagogic approaches to Facebook and by highlighting the common denominator of Facebook and student-centered strategies in terms of didactic benefits, this paper intends to answer the following questions: Can Facebook be regarded and used as an effective and efficient educational tool? If yes, in what way(s)? DOI: 10.4018/978-1-4666-2970-7.ch005

TL;DR: This paper explored the characteristics, processes, and particularities of three brand communities (those centered on Ford Bronco, Macintosh, and Saab) and found that these brand communities exhibit three traditional markers of community: shared consciousness, rituals and traditions, and a sense of moral responsibility.
Abstract: This article introduces the idea of brand community. A brand community is a specialized, non-geographically bound community, based on a structured set of social relations among admirers of a brand. Grounded in both classic and contemporary sociology and consumer behavior, this article uses ethnographic and computer mediated environment data to explore the characteristics, processes, and particularities of three brand communities (those centered on Ford Bronco, Macintosh, and Saab). These brand communities exhibit three traditional markers of community: shared consciousness, rituals and traditions, and a sense of moral responsibility. The commercial and mass-mediated ethos in which these communities are situated affects their character and structure and gives rise to their particularities. Implications for branding, sociological theories of community, and consumer behavior are offered.
