social media

For my social media week i decided that i would use twitter for a week cause i had never used it before and i wanted to see why everyone is so "in love" with it. I still don't understand why people like it so much i didn't think it was that interesting. what i learned from twitter is that it is simple to follow certain people or groups but not all of what they put on there is helpful and sometimes is just random things. i wasn't very excited about this whole social media thing but it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. i got to connect with groups that someday i would like to be involved with. this site could help me connect better with professionals in my field of study which could possibly lead to better things.

Now for what i learned in some of the articles that i read changed my mind a bit about twitter and its uses. a couple things that surprised me is that in mexico before news teams arrive people have already posted things about violent crimes on twitter. since the people of mexico can post their views and what they witness on this social site mexico has no band the use of this program for postings of such events. There are many leaders and humanitarians that use this site which surprised me as to how many of them do use it. I learned that i really never do want to go to mexico because it is very dangerous down there for every single person. i also learned that i should keep in mind that someday soon my friend will not be the only people looking at my facebook/twitter it will be future employers.

this was a good experience and i am taking a lot away from this. I still do not know if i want to use my twitter or not but i will make up my mind soon!
