Proceedings of the Eighth International AAAI Conference on Weblogs and Social Media

The social and community driven aspects of our digital lives continue to rapidly increase, resulting in transformative behaviors and, significantly, publishing and distributing huge amounts of fascinating data. The eighth meeting of the International AAAI Conference on Weblogs and Social Media (ICWSM-14) was held in Ann Arbor, Michigan USA. There were 279 full paper submissions. Of these, 64 were accepted, an acceptance rate of 23 percent. With the help of the whole community - authors, reviewers, sponsors, steering committee and conference organizers - we have seen ICWSM evolve into the premier venue for social media research.
