Social Networking Sites

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram... all these names are so well known. Even not an active user of social media can distinguish the difference between these four.
For me, Facebook is more about people I know. I am trying to limit my Facebook friend list to those I had some sort of connection with. So by scrolling the news, I see only the information related to them: their most important life events or thing they like.
LinkedIn, for instance, is more professional and to the point. It is a platform for collaboration, communication, and opportunities. It is a great place to declare yourself as a professional and a valuable asset.
Instagram is all about beauty, advertisement, and popularity. When I scroll it I get the feeling that people are trying to be much better than they really are. They are creating an illusion, a perfect picture of their ordinary lives. But I have to admit that Instagram is a hard job as well. In order to stay interesting for the followers, people spending money, a crazy amount of time, energy and imagination.
Twitter is a source of information, spreading news, fast communication. It is a very powerful tool that can make a difference. All breaking news are there, but at the same time, you can always find the things you admire.

Blog about Twitter

Social media is an amazing tool for sharing any kind of information: from breaking news to things you admire. It works like magic - spreading news withing the seconds. Twitter is just a perfect example. It is super easy to manage, easy to follow pages you are interested in, easy to share. Discussion on Twitter is very different from ones on BlackBoard in my opinion. When you write for BlackBoard it comes out long. You make it long in order to prove that you are confident in the topic you are writing about and you have that deep understanding of it. Usually, you do it in order to complete your homework assignment. Also, you "forced" to comment on other students' stuff in order to get credit for the work. However, on Twitter, you write short, to the point, something meaningful, something that can catch attention. Any comment comes out naturally, without certain pressure. In-class discussion is totally different. It is a natural environment where students and professors shar...

Advice

Being part of Baruch makes me proud. I wish all students can feel the same. To get into students' hearts is easy - they have to feel that Baruch is not only a great academic institution or a safe environment but also a place that is actually very close and approachable. To improve those factors Baruch should pay greater attention to the usage of new media. All Social Media pages managed by Baruch that I had a chance to analyze were just too dry.  Yes, there is new information every once in a while,  but it is not that dynamic at all. The young generation does not like to see the same posts all over again, only creative stuff catches attention, something new, fresh and juicy should appear every day, or even more often. Different offices within Baruch should have own style, for sure. I agree that the Financial aid office should not post jokes here and there, but they can take extra time and constantly post some brief explanation of the most common issues students usually have o...

Wiki So Far

Working on Wiki seems easier than it actually is. It took a while for me to understand how to navigate and edit or add dome information. I did not create any new pages. However, I spent time reading the content that already existed and thinking about my contribution. I noticed minor grammar mistakes and edited it. I added more information to Pinterest (Fashion) and Fingerlings (New Media In Toys). Also. I am planning to add more content to Fashion especially to the Makeup section. Also, I did not add any images yet, so in the next couple of days, I am going to work much more on Wiki.
