@CrystalF092397 Perfect, relevant example. It's also highlighting the line between public and private. Are her social media words private or public? That line is becoming really hard to navigate, particularly for public figures. #jrnl40

@IVCIVCIVCIVC What? Twitter has a built-in polling system? Or, is poll mechanic another social media site that links up? OMG this is dizzying, Jad. :) #jrnl40

@jungwonleeivc That's a great point, Jungwoon. I always wonder why I don't see more emojis in Tweets... ❓#jrnl40

[IVC Prof @ivcprof]

@colin_conroy7 Totally. It's hard to imagine not using them now. What if you got your news from TV only, and had only phone calls and paper letters as a means to stay in touch with people...wow, the olden days were rough. ;) #jrnl40

[IVC Prof @ivcprof]

@andoNINA @magdus607 Interesting! I think the old networks are gonna have to change something now that space has been compressed by globalization. They can only keep stuff from being live to all at the same time for so long! #jrnl40

@roohani_shila That's a good point, Shila. I'm glad that you brought up the issue of cyberbullying. It can be used that way, sadly. Very good to hear that you haven't experienced it! #jrnl40

[IVC Prof @ivcprof]

@HannahMoon726 That's true. It wasn't intended to be a way to fight injustice but the people use it that was, as does law enforcement (when they can). #jrnl40

@kaylasaben I always forget how crafty advertisers are. Thanks for this reminder! #jrnl40

@littlekadonoff This is great, Alexis! Your prof is my office mate. :) We both love Black Mirror for the ways it prompts us to really think about how we use technology in the real world. Nosedive presents a thought-provoking hyperbole of what our ratings-obsessed culture could look like. #jrnl40

@OmarSubehIVC Interesting, Omar. This reminds me of "the daily me" concept. Early internet visionaries were concerned that we'd tailor news to our pre-existing belief systems and then not encounter alternative opinions/stories. Do you look elsewhere or just follow that one voice? #jrnl40

[IVC Prof @ivcprof]

@littlekadonoff Wow! I did not know that. All of this convergence of companies and tools is pretty dizzying. #jrnl40

[IVC Prof @ivcprof]

@andoNINA Great point, Nina. I'm so glad you mentioned that. Parts of my family uses WhatsApp religiously which means I'm volleying between different platforms. It's good to remember that popular US platforms aren't universal. #jrnl40

[IVC Prof @ivcprof]

@MichaelEllisBak True... but sometimes I wonder what the point is. Every once in a while I'll post to IG and share to FB, but I never quite know why I'm doing it. Do you guys have reasons to cross post? #jrnl40

[IVC Prof @ivcprof]

FA17 Q6 (last one!): BYOT! Any insight on social media...novel uses, good uses, bad uses, anything! Be creative and think broadly. #jrnl40

[IVC Prof @ivcprof]

@b_long7 Good point! Although I do wonder if the old "all publicity is good publicity" holds in this context. An angry mass of Tweeters can make a show change course. #jrnl40

[IVC Prof @ivcprof]

@shan_pirus Yes! I'm so so so so tired of endless phone system menus! #jrnl40

[IVC Prof @ivcprof]

@roohani_shila That's true. If there's one thing we should know by now it's the fact that sexuality finds its way into every digital media platform. #jrnl40

[IVC Prof @ivcprof]

FA17 Q5: What are some alternative (or unintended) uses of social media? How have users expanded/repurposed Snap, Fbook, Twitter, IG? #jrnl40

[IVC Prof @ivcprof]

@mare__maid That's true. The pithiness of the tweets is part of why this platform moves so quickly and shows so much dynamism. Facebook is like driving a Buick while Twitter feels more like a Fisker (smaller, faster, limited range). :) #jrnl40
