Facebook

After reading about this week's assignment and what we had to do I was pretty interested because, I have never actually used a tracking website to basically monitor a company. It took me a while to figure out what company or brand I wanted to take my time and focus on, but after sitting and actually thinking long and hard about it I decided on monitoring a company I worked with all through out college for, and that is Mid American Pompon. Many people do not know what pompon is because it is only a northern sport.

Have you ever thought about yourself in the 3rd person? It seems these days as social media tools become ever more integrated into our personal and professional lives, it is a necessary skill to be able to analyze oneself from the 3rd person point of view.  From Facebook profiles to Linkedin accounts, these sites offer people the opportunity to 'profile' themselves personally and professionally. The internet is giving back individuals the control to create the image they want others to perceive about them.

Sitting in class last week, my eyes were opened to all new types of social media. My thoughts changed from knowing about each social media site to actually learning how to use each site affectively. Types are changing and people have an easy way to voice their opinions in these outlets.
