This is the Twitter account for COMM 311 at U of A! Welcome! Please @ me for interesting things, and use the hashtag that we come up with in class

[Prof B @ProfB10]

For those of you who want to read Facebook's Data Policy as @MeganBinder6 suggested, here it is! #COMMonTech311 #COMMonTwitter311 https://t.co/JMzvC3kbbL

[Megan Binder @MeganBinder6]

For one of my other classes I had to read Facebook's data policy. I think it heavily relates to this class. You guys should take some time to google and read it, because it is crazy what we agree to let them have access to without knowing! worth the read!

@victoria_uofaz When I lived in LA these were very popular!! They were everywhere! Some cities started cracking down because people having issues. It's a really good idea though, especially around a college campus.

Think about how you can answer your RQs with the data you gather in your Method paper. One very common method the tech / advertising / marketing industries use is A/B testing (a simple experimental method). This may work for you! https://t.co/PoKT3dQC1J

[Prof B @ProfB10]

@meg_getty This is wonderful & relevant to the election that happened yesterday. What do you think about the communication technology aspects of elections today? How do you think comm tech has changed elections? This would've gone viral back then, I'm sure. #COMMonTech311 #COMMonTwitter311

[Prof B @ProfB10]

This is a good question! What do you do to protect your privacy online? #COMMonTech311 #COMMonTwitter311

[Prof B @ProfB10]

This week: finish privacy & then discuss the related issue of surveillance. What do you all think of the possibility that the government could be surveilling to try to predict/preempt protests? Is this anti U.S. right of free speech? #COMMonTech311 https://t.co/xCJouHDtua

[Prof B @ProfB10]

Thanks for posting this, @EmiliyaDale !! Awesome job capturing some of the essence of our discussions in a funny comic #COMMonTech311 #COMMonTwitter311

[蘇威豪 @EmiliyaDale]

Here's a comic I made for another class of mine about technology in our society. It's kind of inspired by @ProfB10's #CommOnTech311 class. Give it a read

[Prof B @ProfB10]

This is a hilarious video about responding to Spam!! Thanks for sharing @Brin_W311 #COMMonTech311 #COMMonTwitter311

[Brin Wassenberg COMM 311 @Brin_W311]

This is the person/video I mentioned in class. Here's what happens when James Veitch responds to spam in a TEDTalk!

@katiejean27721 Interesting stuff! I think magic is so interesting and a good comparison for what happens online with some of the deceptive practices we experience.

[Prof B @ProfB10]

Today we talked about privacy on the internet. What role do you think the government should play in protecting us from corporations who want to sell our data or who misuse our data? #COMMonTech311 #CommonTwitter311 https://t.co/TkW6rcItBp

[Prof B @ProfB10]

Check out this article written a couple months ago about the "follower factory" on social media: https://t.co/VrSlT466p7

[Prof B @ProfB10]

"The fact that a brand's online reputation is never fully controllable is what makes it so valuable and trustworthy." https://t.co/xMG23vuJte

[Prof B @ProfB10]

Interesting case where Facebook reported numbers higher than they really were on video content. Media companies "pivoted to video," and now they're wondering if they did the right thing since the numbers are lower than previously thought. #COMMonTech311 https://t.co/YfZVN2VOfn

[Nieman Lab @NiemanLab]

Did Facebook’s faulty data push news publishers to make terrible decisions on video? https://t.co/AasjuFOuAG

[Genises @genisesyv]

I needed customer support in order to set up my fitbit.I go onto the website & it said Twitter, live chat or call. what do you think is the way to communicate in these situations? Rich or lean media? #CommonTech311

[Prof B @ProfB10]

@tillchock Interesting stuff! And now they're closing Google+ down!

[Prof B @ProfB10]

@SydneyD71919848 Here's what another classmate found! Sure enough - they're shutting down because of this.

[Megan Binder @MeganBinder6]

heres another example of a time where a communication technology exposed users data. We are seeing this happen so often yet we still put all of our trust into the sites we use and continue to use them. Thoughts? #CommonTech311
