Description

This research studied the impact of popular third-party embedded social media within media organisations websites (such as widgets and applications). The research examined the experience of this phenomenon from both the media organisations and their website users/news readers perspectives. The findings demonstrated how embedded third-party code brings technical and business challenges to an organisation affecting their website users’ browsing experience. A set of 26 recommendations were presented to assist any organisations using social media to tailor their own IT based social media policies and assist in making websites more efficient and enhance their end user experience.
