This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed joint post-proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Mining Ubiquitous and Social Environments, MUSE 2012, held in Bristol, UK, in September 2012, and the Third International Workshop on Modeling Social Media, MSM 2012, held in Milwaukee, WI, USA, in June 2012. The 8 full papers included in the book are revised and significantly extended versions of papers submitted to the workshops. They cover a wide range of topics organized in three main themes: communities and group structure in ubiquitous social media; ubiquitous modeling; and aspects of social interactions and influence.
