One of the surprising things I learned is how different everyone's experience is with digital media. I knew that everyone's feeds are different, but it's really interesting to go into detail and see how we can see and use the exact same platforms so differently. #XUCOMM221

[Maureen Murray @MaureenMurrayXU]

I'm eager to see how what I learned in this class will impact and help me in a full-time position after graduation, ideally in PR or social media! #XUCOMM221

The author notes that even though we live in a time with stars like Oprah and Beyonce, they are still many issues of racism and sexism against black women and girls, in real life and digitally. #XUCOMM221

If we know that algorithms and technological redlining affect our search results, what can we do next to help mitigate this? Is awareness enough? #XUCOMM221

Does digital communication within neighborhoods, like Nextdoor or Facebook groups, allow people to be more negative or critical than they would be face to face? #XUCOMM221

[Maureen Murray @MaureenMurrayXU]

I feel like every time I hear about the Nextdoor app, it's because something weird or negative has happened. There are a lot of crazy, and sometimes dangerous or violent, instances that occur because of it. #XUCOMM221

@gracestevens110 I remember this platform! It was the source of a lot of issues, and I think the anonymous format encouraged people to be negative and critical towards others. #XUCOMM221

@Wannabrosspix We didn't play these kinds of games at my house either. Maybe we only hear the negative stories rather than any positive ones, but it seems like not a lot of good comes from these situations, especially with younger people. #XUCOMM221

[Maureen Murray @MaureenMurrayXU]

I'm not sure if I think chat rooms and message boards are productive or valuable features in the video game world. It seems like this is a space where harassment really comes to light. #XUCOMM221

[Maureen Murray @MaureenMurrayXU]

If you play video games yourself, do you notice the same kind of harassment that is evident in Gray's article? #XUCOMM221

[Maureen Murray @MaureenMurrayXU]

Are women welcome in the video game space if they are often stereotypically represented with suggestive appearances or as less smart than men? #XUCOMM221

[Maureen Murray @MaureenMurrayXU]

Gray's article about Xbox Live reminds me of a project I just did about Fortnite in my marketing class. Women of color do not make up a large demographic in either space. #XUCOMM221

[Maureen Murray @MaureenMurrayXU]

@NicoleMarkeshia I think it's strategic that they added this feature right before the holiday shopping season. I'm sure businesses love it, especially small or local ones that rely on social media exposure. #RASx433

[Maureen Murray @MaureenMurrayXU]

I see commercials for Facebook pretty frequently, but I just saw one for Instagram for the first time. Why do you think Facebook is promoted on TV more often? #RASx433

[Maureen Murray @MaureenMurrayXU]

Harry Styles' Vogue cover has generated a ton of buzz on social media, but I still want to go buy a paper copy even though I've seen all the pictures online #RASx433

[Maureen Murray @MaureenMurrayXU]

Do you stay off social media to avoid spoilers of shows or other types of media? I had to unfollow This is Us so it isn't spoiled before I binge watch over winter break. #RASx433

[Maureen Murray @MaureenMurrayXU]

One of my favorite uses of social media is to check it while my roommates and I watch The Bachelorette. The reactions and memes are so funny and almost instantaneous #RASx433

[Maureen Murray @MaureenMurrayXU]

@gzentmeyer It's hard to see schools making these decisions before we're even through first semester. It doesn't make me especially motivated to finish strong if there's not much to look forward to... #RASx433

[Maureen Murray @MaureenMurrayXU]

@NicoleMarkeshia I love the Christmas drinks, and they're always promoted super well on social media! I always see people posting pictures of their holiday cups. #RASx433

[Maureen Murray @MaureenMurrayXU]

@kyliermoore Fleets are not my favorite so far. I think they're kind of irrelevant and take up space. It's funny you tweeted about this because today I was looking for a way to hide them in my settings! #RASx433
