@CUComm3200 the Jenkins article really related to an audience such as myself because I am constantly on my cell phone when I am watching TV. Jenkins really wants to target people to be less on their phones for marketing purposes.

@CUComm3200 the entire testimony just made me realize that many of the political leaders on our country are unaware of what technology and social media are capable of.

@CUComm3200 in the Pannarrendonda article I found it could have been connected with how people change their names on Facebook when business are profiling them for their work.

@CUComm3200 I agree with the Gladwell article in that Twitter is altering the way that businesses are run. CEOs even check social movements and different customer quotes on products to help their company.

@CUComm3200 I found the Papacharissi article very interesting because of how relatable having a small audience on social media can turn into a major issue with the audience a post can actually reach.

@CUComm3200 Foers article showed how Facebook uses an algorithm to show how our news feed is filtered based on what we like. That could be both beneficial and an issue for people feeling manipulated.

@CUComm3200 I found it very interesting that people...especially white people do not use the emoji color of their skin. I also typically use the yellow default one for my texting.

@CUComm3200 social networking and many different sites such as YouTube should be more accepting of anyone and any race, but people continue to comment mean things on them.

@CUComm3200 the readings resulted all in a common theme of culture. One of them talked about how women gain a sense of insecurity because of media in their lives.

@CUComm3200 with regards to the Morozov reading I do believe that Google gets away with things that other companies couldn’t get away with.

@CUComm3200 with different forms of social media content having the ability to display photos, art museums are gaining more credit with their pristine work. I am glad to see that through social media.

@CUComm3200 Spotify is very successful in drawing consumers into their ‘freemium’ feature. They leverage this business model with great success.

@CUComm3200 the Washington reading stated that Women play a vital role in computer programming and some people don’t understand what they go through. These women don’t get any credibility.

@CUComm3200 The Humphreys article exploited the differences between the historical diaries and Twitter. It is intriguing how diaries were intended initially for the public view and not intended to be hidden.
