Being this is our last day allowed to use social media for COMM, I just wanted to say that it was amazing working with all of you! I'm truly walking out of this class with a deeper understanding for social media. Good luck on future endeavors! #comodu
Malaysia is imposing regulations/ punishments for spreading fake news. While I see the benefits, I think it is too subjective & could lead to innocent imprisonment or gov. abuse. https://t.co/jLyuJW5Z8H #comodu
@LorinLee2@jkerr006 It seems like a lot of countries had a slow progression towards SM..Why do you think that is? It seems like the less wealthy countries were the slowest, so I think it has to do with political and economic infrastructure. #comodu
Tweet 2/2: I personally think the U.S. is behind NL, FR, and DR in sm usage and internet penetration due to political and economic expenditure. The U.S. leads the world in military expenditure (more than the next countries combined) this leaves little room for internet. #comodu
Tweet 1/2: I found the Netherlands, France and Denmark to be similar to the U.S. as far as social media motivations. However, I did find it interesting that the U.S. is behind them in terms of internet penetration and sm usage. Why do you think that is? #comodu
@jkerr006 Hey Jordan! I completely agree! Any country particularly interest you? I was fascinated with Japan because it was not near any of the other countries. #comodu
@ODURogerN Great question! I don't think I would pay to opt-out. Although, the advertising is annoying, I personally don't think it has affected my spending choices. If it does come down to paying, I think I would find another social media site to utilize haha wbu? #comodu
@robert46021470 Congrats on the interview! One could argue that this is a good use for it. It means that people are getting evaluated on merits beyond their resume, which could be beneficial. However, it could also be dangerous if candidates have inappropriate material on their sm. #comodu
If I were to look at the Global map on a personal level, I think I would be in the "Relationship" category. Military life has made sm a vital tool for me to keep in touch with family and friends as we move. #comodu
@ODURogerN I completely agree! Do you think his personality helped or hurt his testimony? Although people laughed at some of his comments, I think he is lacks empathy, thus, probably resulting in a lack of trust in him. #odu
Find the WAVE global map of social needs extremely interesting! However, I was surprised to see how "Recognition" had the least amount of countries. Being that it means expressing your personality, I would have thought US would at overlap that section! #comu
@sdowe001 I've been intrigued by the #metoo movement as it solely was fostered by sm. As Zandt suggested, women shared stories then women with authoritative sm power called on other victims of sexual harassment to speak out! It def. brought attention to this problem! Abu? #comodu
Favorite quote from Zuck testimony: Senator Hatch: "How do you plan to sustain a business model if users don't pay for your services?" Zuckerberg: "Senator, we run ads." This had me LOL! How can the senators "grill" him, when they don't seem to understand sm? #comodu
@JenLloydODU I completely agree about how noisy Twitter is! What you said is related to a point made in our Diplomacy lesson about how one challenging aspect for diplomats is having their message withstand the clutter. Seems like an issue for everyone though #comodu
@autumnesther I completely agree! I honestly think some of the senators made themselves look foolish by asking questions that had absolutely nothing to do with social media. I baffled me that one senator didn't even know how FB made money #comodu
Did anybody else watch Zuckerberg’s testimony? Admittedly, I watched it all... it was actually really interesting! Plus, since taking this class I have a deeper appreciation for issues sounding social media. Anyone else?#comodu

@LorinLee2 As others on here mentioned, Snapchat is constantly losing using. However, playing devil's advocate, in wakes of the FB scandal are more people going to go back to it and leave FB? I doubt interesting thought. #comodu
@mwhit125 @jk_rowling I think @jk_rowling is a wonderful example of a celebrity using their influential power to initiate social good. I follow her on FB and admire how she voices for people to take action against religious intolerance and injustices to women. #comodu
