Blog about Twitter

 A blog in essence is the ability to share one's ideas and thoughts in formatted method. Having a blog on Twitter is more so of a informal virtual discussion and presentation of one's thoughts. Twitter in general is created and provided users with such tools that promote self thought and opinion without restriction. Having the character limit also pushes individuals to be more concise and wholesome with their thoughts. Compared to a Twitter discussion, a Blackboard discussion is more structured, without a character limit, and has many technological tools to embed links, photos, and other resources to help present an individua's thoughts. Blackboard is also considered a scholarly site which causes users to write more professionally and thoughtfully. I find Blackboard discussions to be a well thought out design of ideas. Lastly, an in-person class discussion is my favorite. This format gives up the formalities of capitalized letters and forgoes the art of writing. Rather the ability to create eye contact, use an individual's voice, and one's natural ability to present a unreviewed thought is incredibly raw and impactful. I believe it says a lot not only regarding the individua's thoughts on the topic but also the individual themselves. Regardless, the environment, culture, and general style of a discussion can dictate how the speaker speaks and the listener hears.

Blog: Wiki So Far

 I have thoroughly enjoyed working through the New Media Wiki so far. I have focused my efforts on the Real Estate topic and have added five paragraphs in regards to how an agent should help a buyer in the process of purchasing a home. I have added multiple links and photos within each section. Furthermore, I look to focus now on editing content of my peers and seeing how I can ensure their hyperlinks, photos, and other links function correctly. Along with that, I may look to add more detail into the real estate section in regards to what a seller may expect from an agent and the entire process. All in all, my wiki experience has been positive and I have learned a lot about how to apply new media concepts to daily topics in life.

BLOG: Blog v Wiki

 In today's age of New Media a plethora of tools are available to communicate, store, and present information across the wold wide web. Blogs and Wiki pages have been at the forefront of this notion. However, often times there is confusion and overlap between the two and their individual goals and purposes. To be frank a blog is created usually from the perspective of an individual or group and that party presenting it's ideas, thoughts, and news via this platform. On the other hand, a Wiki page is to be utilized to hold information, history, useful links, and general knowledge about a specific subject. Wiki pages and blogs can also be used within organizations to communicate and hold information related to specific processes and functions. It is important to note an important quirk of a wiki page is the fact that often times any individual can come and edit the information, this fact is still true for the most part. However, recently CNN posted an article titled "Wikipedi...

Blog: Social networking sites

 Social networking sites share many similarities and have specific differences. For the most part platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn all have a main goal to spread information, connect with other people, and build an internet influence. All can also be used to market an organization or company. However, we will dive into some details of each platform which make them different than others. Facebook for example, sustains a large user base but is more of a formality platform used by older generations and family minded users. While, Twitter is utilized from providing announcements by organizations, sharing opinions of people around the world, and much more. Twitter allows people to express and build a personality of their own. Compared to Twitter and Facebook, Instagram is a safe medium. It allows users to present their daily lives in a fun and unique way, while also having a level of formality within itself (also another reason it is so popular). LinkedIn sta...
