@brittanyhomme Thank you . . . and, good luck to you as well! #MCO335

These last weeks have been heavy- and this week's discussions and assignment are not lightening the load. Oh, well. The work continues. Check out my Tumblr posts on activism and related discussions on social media: https://t.co/Krznurkqqm #MCO335

I've just published "Share this, not that- A guide to spreading fair and balanced news on Social Media" #MCO335 https://t.co/PC2eyP5z65

@pokefanrithwik @pokefanrithwik You've done an entertaining job with your curated list of examples of how video game companies engage fans on social media. The GIFs really brought your research to life. #MCO335

@NelsonFreja I really enjoyed this post, @nelsonfreja-- had no idea that journalists and news orgs are so successful at reaching audiences on TikTok. I may begin heading to TikTok for more than humor. #MCO335

#MCO335, I found an interesting Washington Post story that is an example of accurate and factual news reporting: https://t.co/jWI5NOaq1O

@kharlomandin @SoundCloud See- this is a use that is in line with the nature of the service. I don't mind this-- I've found a lot of great underground tracks on @soundcloud, and I love it. The other social media platform liberties with ownership? Those . . . I'm not crazy about. #MCO335

@loganj245 "Instead of using arbitration, you or we can bring claims in your local 'small claims' court, if the rules of that court will allow it . . . You and we expressly waive a trial by jury." No multi-million dollar awards in damages, there. Wow. #MCO335

You may not remember when @SwarmApp-- as "Foursquare"-- was the king of social media check-in apps. But, I do. I recently learned that the TOS requires users to update information within 48 hours of deactivating/changing their phone numbers. https://t.co/9gqzvEycwI #MCO335

Another reminder that I can work from home FOREVER. #TrafficJamUp

[Mike Hancock @HelpfulVoice]

Whiskers likes going for that vintage soul vibe. 🔥#AlbumCoverPets #albumcover

[Mikal S. @WindyCityMike7]

New single- "Hot Cat Summer" by your boy, Whiskers. That surprise album drop is going to be MAJOR. #AlbumCoverPets #albumcover #MCO335

[Mikal S. @WindyCityMike7]

Maybe we'll do mixtapes, too. Whiskers is ready. #albumcoverpets #albumcover #MCO335

@O_beauregard This might be the most accurate tweet of all time . . . 🙌🏾 #tvobsessed #MCO335

[Olivia Beauregard @O_beauregard]

When Netflix asks you if you are still watching.... #tvobsessed #MCO335

@SierraMist8282 Facts! 😂#alwayswatching #MCO335

You already know the vocals are 🔥. Whiskers is trying to get signed. #AlbumCoverPets #albumcover #MCO335

@YutzieKayla I follow @Google on Twitter and Facebook, but never thought about the company having a presence on Pinterest. The primary-colored pins are very recognizable as being part of the company, and are very focused on teaching/education. #MCO335

[Mikal S. @WindyCityMike7]

@JakeGrabarek The fact that @puravidabrac provides artisans full-time work is phenomenal. And the bracelets and jewelry featured on its Pinterest site are interesting. Great choice! #MCO335

[Mikal S. @WindyCityMike7]

@erinfurball I'd never heard of @Clickinmoms-- thank you for highlighting it! I like the diversity in the pinned images, and the bites of tech wisdom. Wish someone had taught me about the "Nifty Fifty" lens when I first started out. Now following! #MCO335

[Mikal S. @WindyCityMike7]

@mmichaaael @ImpossibleFoods I make pretty good tacos with @ImpossibleFoods crumbles, a dash of oil, seasoned salt, cumin, pico de gallo, extra cilantro, black pepper, garlic, chili powder, queso fresco, and warmed corn tortillas. I used to do this w/ground turkey, or beef. #MCO335

[Mikal S. @WindyCityMike7]

I tend to ignore Big Business/corporate presences on Social Media, but @impossiblefoods mixes recipes, small business support, and environmental activism at https://t.co/k6JhjMaRmx. Check it out! #MCO335
