@mastello612 SM has such low barriers that it has become the common channel for fame seekers. Glad these kids received help #IS6621 #D

@viquez_jose VR is definitely cool and on the rise, but its still too pricey to be fully adopted into mainstream, $1K+ for headset and console #IS6621

@paulbreen_bc Its amazing that Craigslist is stubborn enough to think they can last forever on their original biz. model and no mobile offering #IS6621

Saw this on my FB page and thought it was pretty applicable to the 3D printing discussion last class #IS6621 https://t.co/uR30ly6w8U

@dannyyng84 Are increased efficiency and lower cost of production worth it if the poor lose their jobs and cant afford the product? #IS6621

@geohawk2013 Sadly, it seems like criminals now flock to Facebook to commit crimes in order to get public attention. Leading to copycat killings #IS6621

[Ben Schaefer @benschaefer88]

@dannibianco3 @mikeward_ Facebook also looking to combat both fake news and confirmation bias with their "Related Articles" tool #IS6621 https://t.co/jDqmHWUGLd

[Ben Schaefer @benschaefer88]

@mikeward_ Great idea. Legitimacy will ultimately depend on how often they can review and approve content, since its set up like Wikipedia #D #IS6621

[Ben Schaefer @benschaefer88]

@ben__mcarthur I think SM now allows criminals to seek attention they desire w/o having to rely on main stream media #IS6621 #D https://t.co/zKZafI3koB

@JoshLArtman @erin4fitz I get them all the time on Facebook. At this point, when I see "Ad will play in 5 seconds" I just keep scrolling down the page #IS6621

@dannyyng84 @LaurenMSantilli Interesting post. I never used Tinder, but was always under the impression that it wasn't an effective app for dating. #IS6621

[Ben Schaefer @benschaefer88]

@SkubalL2 Why do criminals decide to post crimes on social media? Sharing almost ensures conviction. Is bigger picture mental health? #IS6621 #D

[Ben Schaefer @benschaefer88]

@isabel_calo1 Very interesting. Big data has definitely made it harder for people to fool the system. Reminds me of @paulbreen_bc 's presentation #IS6621

[Ben Schaefer @benschaefer88]

Do social media boycotts actually work? #D #is6621 https://t.co/EAuAnRSPZB

[Ben Schaefer @benschaefer88]

@terencenixdorf I wonder if United will recover. I remember backlash against BP after the oil spill in 2010 and their stock still hasn't recovered #IS6621

[Ben Schaefer @benschaefer88]

Interesting data from UK. Want a response from cust svc? Post on social media. Is complaining encouraged? #D #is6621 https://t.co/1S28s8zWoW

[Ben Schaefer @benschaefer88]

@isabel_calo1 Interesting, capabilities sound a lot like @splitwise which is linked to Venmo. FB is definitely a larger player though #IS6621

[Ben Schaefer @benschaefer88]

@dannyyng84 Someone on their PR team definitely blew this one, but it does represent the role social media plays in 2 way mktg. communication #IS6621

[Ben Schaefer @benschaefer88]

@Ciaran_Cleary Will be interesting to see if this pays off. There are some whispers that Comcast is coming out with a streaming service to compete. #IS6621

[Ben Schaefer @benschaefer88]
