and Social Media

It is widely noted that visiting social networking sites and playing 
online games are the major past times for many Internet users all around 
the world. Interestingly, the boundary between social media and gaming 
has been blurring. Online gaming sites have since long adopted 
discussion forums and ranking mechanisms to foster player interactions. 
Social networking sites are providing spaces and features to easily 
connect games, challenge playmates and even publish achievements.

In the new social media environment, there are now games where players 
can create their own content and develop it along with other players. 
Such social media games allow 'massive' spectatorship with immediate 
communities on an epic scale through distributed computing in the 
clouds. This has enhanced social connections, allowing broader 
discussions with total strangers in a fast and dynamic environment.

We would like to invite researchers, professionals, developers, company 
management officers to share your views and opinions on these two
