Collaborative and Interactive Platforms

Social media has always been something that is interactive between users. In recent years media has made a turn for the better by making social media personally interactive. They have done this by doing live videos where people can get on and see what you are doing. I think this a really cool tool that has been created many people have used this for the benefit of marketing. Many people like to see your company or what you do in the moment and how things really run. Now this is such an amazing tool but there are negatives to it as well. People have started to get immune to the idea of being able to see a video with the product they are watching. The companies who are behind the curve on live video are loosing out on potential consumers. According to Samantha Furgeson “Consumers now expect so see video as part of the mix of content you present when they visit your website”.
         As someone who is very interested in starting there own company I am very happy to learn of such a tool as Interactive Media. This tool can really help you to expand in the world of business. Other then business the use of interactive media has been very helpful for people in the Q & A industry. For example on the campus on Utah State there are many different staff members who are able to live video chat sessions. I have had to do this before with the writing center. I do have to admit that it was very helpful. There are many times where we as people are not able to make it somewhere, with the use of interactive media we are able to chat live from different parts of the world. I think this is so easy and helpful for all of us if used correctly.
         Before learning about this topic I have been very annoyed with the use of Interactive media. The reason that I say that is all social media’s seemed to come out with this tool at the same time. Everyone got so excited about being able to put there live videos on social media that it became very annoying. There are times were I truly don’t care to see what someone is doing and it is all over my feed. In my opinion there should be certain limitations as to what you are able to post on your live media

  1. I agree with you, I have also been annoyed with all of the different social media platform's new feature to do live videos. Everyone does them and most of the time they are really dumb to watch. But it is refreshing to learn about other interactive platforms, ones that aren't just live videos.
