a lot*!! whoops

[baya! @bayamcdougall]

I’ve definitely lost al of of my motivation towards my work… and that includes tweeting. Should I write a blog about it, and ways you can help get it back? (Maybe it’ll inspire me too!!) #MakingSocialMedia

[baya! @bayamcdougall]

Finalising my assessment 2 for #MakingSocialMedia and still don’t know how to use WordPress….

Celebrity culture heavily relies on people being interested in what a celebrity offers online. Without fans, what even is a celebrity?
I'd like to hear your opinion, do you think celebrity culture relies on non-famous interaction?
#MakingSocialMedia

[baya! @bayamcdougall]

In regards to celebrity culture in media, whether it's a kind of influencer or A-list celebrity, the platform they use to communicate and promote would not be efficient if there weren't people(fans) engaging in the content.

Hey everyone! My Twitter hasn't been working... but luckily I got it fixed just in time for our #MakingSocialMedia class this week!
How was everyone's break? I look forward to being back in class!

@KateAtDeakin Issues regarding politics and participation would overall be much more beneficial to study for a reflection of the effect of media on individuality and community.

[baya! @bayamcdougall]

@KateAtDeakin As described through a critical response from Christine Hine(2001) and Tara McPherson(2000), identity is not as important to study in regards to cybercultural studies as it has been reflected on too much already, and fails to recognise the deeper meaning of web page production.

Online Identity - What does authenticity mean to me?

@GeorgiaBorg16 I know right!!! I was not expecting this to be the hardest thing I’ve done in Uni😭😭😭

[Zee @ZoeKeys7]

Who would have thought the hardest part of Uni so far would be attempting to navigate Wordpress.

As we reach closer to the Assessment 1 due date, it’s important to remember to have breaks and look after yourself! Get some fresh air, watch an episode of your favourite show, read a chapter of a book. You can do it!

@nadiaazhariii @marniedwy3r Looking for Alaska is my fav too!!

...and overall closer to you as a creator. Regardless, I think it's always important to consider the risks that can come with sharing yourself on social media, and to always think back to what 'privacy' means. What do you think? (4/4)

#MakingSocialMedia

[baya! @bayamcdougall]

'Privacy' is something that we often forget about when active on social media. Sometimes we may share something about ourselves either through posts or stories that may seem like it's a harmless projection, but can also lead to something a lot bigger. (1/4)

[baya! @bayamcdougall]

On the other hand however, being completely open on social media about your issues and/or experiences can provoke feelings of connectivity to followers due to the authenticity it can project. People who might have experienced similar circumstances would feel understood- (3/4)
