Honestly, I think anything can get viral on social media now- from a video of a cat doing nothing, to people protesting for a cause. #Lesson13

@JK_Karmaker Facebook ads can get through Ad Block! That's why they perform much better than video ads on youtube videos or Banner style ads! #EDUC307

[Skyler Piccolo @SP74Educ]

If I get more than 5 retweets on a tweet I basically consider myself going viral #Lesson13

[Patrick Murphy @patrick_jsu]

Combination of all of the elements you mentioned #EDUC307 https://t.co/Trzjd6PRDU

[Lorise Lebel @llebelEduc307]

What is it that makes some memes go viral so quickly while some others fall flat? Group think behind it? Luck? Timing? #lesson13 #educ307

Digital Code: A framework within which we can function as we move forward as digital citizens - Vivek Venkatesh and Jihan Rabah #LESSON13 #EDUC307

They don't but they should #EDUC307 https://t.co/XrM5I48viL

[Julie Tang @juliektang]

I wonder if people cover their cellphone's camera like they do with their laptop... #EDUC307 #LESSON13

[nathalie ohanian @n_ohania]

This is 100% accurate. #educ307 #lesson13

[Patrick Murphy @patrick_jsu]

Virality is based on emotions. Posts with emotion will ALWAYS perform well on SM. The rest of virality is based on timing, placement and pure luck! #EDUC307 https://t.co/c0fvRbzZmG

[Gabrielle Gourdeau @gabriellegourde]

I think there is a recurring theme as to what goes viral in each type of video. Some people will even create fake content and make it seem real to try to make a video go viral #lesson13 #educ307 https://t.co/JpUhyfzCw6

@EmiliaaG96 They buy and sell your data like you wouldn't believe! #EDUC307

@pizdaniella When I target people using re-targeting ad campaigns.

[Patrick Murphy @patrick_jsu]

I get the purpose of the show, but I feel like it puts to much drama on what could actually happen with technology. Good plot line though. #EDUC307 https://t.co/hXeX8ARQLN

[Anjali Patel @_anjaali]

Has anyone seen the show Black Mirror? It explores the fact that there's a serious, detrimental side to technology, despite it's advantages #Lesson13

[Patrick Murphy @patrick_jsu]

@torylackman Yup, and even places like Reddit decide when enough is enough. They shut down a hate group online and Reddit is supposed to be the most democratic place on the internet #EDUC307

[Patrick Murphy @patrick_jsu]

Educators cannot get trapped in filter bubbles by failing to do proper research about subjects that show different points of view #EDUC307

[Patrick Murphy @patrick_jsu]

A good example of the filter bubble and it's negative effect is the Redd Feed, Blue feed that was seen during the elections. Facebook decided if a person wanted to see republican or democrat news #educ307

[Patrick Murphy @patrick_jsu]

I DO think that educators have the responsibility to point of different points of view present on SM when teaching it in the classroom. If not we will end up with filter bubbles #EDUC307

[Patrick Murphy @patrick_jsu]

See #educ307 this proves the point I just made in my last tweet. There is always business to be done on SM. https://t.co/jT0SS5e6Ex

[Patrick Murphy @patrick_jsu]

Therefore, capitalism, even in a decentralized network such as the internet is still present. #EDUC307

[Patrick Murphy @patrick_jsu]

However, SM also works in a capitalistic sense as is mentioned in the article. Facebook bidding for example works the same way, the more you bid the more people you can reach #EDUC307

[Patrick Murphy @patrick_jsu]

I think what is interesting in the Castro article is the mentioning of decentralization because of SM and the internet. Look at how #bitcoin is affecting decentralization. The world truly is departing from institutions like banks #educ307

@educ307schnei You my friend were re-targeted using Facebook ads and cookie information. As a marketer, it's incredible what can be done online to influence purchasing decisions and brand loyalty. #educ307
