I totally agree with Doyle concept that we have a responsibility to share a types of stories and correct omissions. The collective of them creates the reality in which we exists. #315WeekSeven
I think Wikipedia is a great tool to have. The problem with people getting their information is that they rely only on one source to tell them. However as with a lot of things version of the same event. Therefore it is essential to not solely rely on one source! #315WeekSeven
Not sure if all free labor is exploitation but I definitely think that companies utilize the individuals will to stay connected and active in the online world to their advantage. Maybe at times deceiving the person?
In the digital labor slides, the idea of unpaid digital labor is so interesting. It’s true all of us most of the time participate in the generation of content for apps and websites. Can it be exploitation? Maybe not in posting an Instagram photo but idk #ccoms315

I find ratings and reviews very helpful in general as I look at them almost every time! I think sometimes it can be very harsh and that sort of negativity does not need to be shared on the internet but more often then not I do refers my decisions to these reviews. #coms315
In talking about trends and fashion, I was thinking of reviewing the new collections of two very infamous brands started on social media. What would you guys like to hear about?
I do sometimes think that review culture infringes too much on an emotional core. As Besner points out balance creates more authenticity. I think of fashion reviews and how people express such strong views about a collection! It’s art so their is not one opinion!
Don’t know if I want to focus my post on how to stay fashionable during COVID times as I know many of us struggled to find a purpose to get dressed in the morning or how to shop trends without buying fast fashion! What do you guys think? #315pitch
In Mcculloch’s piece on emoji language, logos was used to translate Moby Dick into emojis. This action spurs a the logic of word associations to specific images. Yet, emojis are not as precise as words therefore the sentences become hard to comprehend! #315WeekThree
I am obsessed with art and fashion - I live for that! I also surf a lot and hope one day to just sit everyday by the ocean. Sports is my everyday go to - I hate missing out on a good workout. I am very energetic so it calms me down #315PhotoIntro (that’s my own art ps)
Gretchen McCulloch’s podcast was so relatable! I am guilty of using lower cases on instagram 🙄 Reminds me of people posting “relatable” pictures but they are actually very curated or trying to look effortless in a candid photo. #315WeekOne
Writing the internet allows me to reach out to people who are interested in the same creative fields as me. But, I do feel a burden to keep up with people and the world around me. At times this is overwhelming, especially in the isolation of COVID. #ccom315
