Doing the day on the cloud
assignment was pretty fun. I was a little disappointed due to the fact that no
one famous or higher up joined our discussion. I am sure that is because they
are very busy people who are monitored. Meaning that they have hundreds of
people reaching out to them every day, so they are not likely to respond. It
was pretty funny to see what everyone was posting about. Most of are tweets
were pointless so there was not lots of discussion going on. The highlight of
the discussion was a guy and girl in our class “flirting” with each other. They
were just saying hilarious things to each other, which made it very
entertaining. Through out the discussion there were many people who were
responding back and forth between different subjects. From asking when the best
time to eat at taco bell, all the way to serious articles that are effecting
us. One article that really stood out to me was talking about ways to
strengthen your social media accounts for employers to look at. Now there was
not much discussion on this matter but it really helped me out. It is crazy how
much social media effects us in the work place many times people just post
things to get likes with out ever thinking about the future that tweet holds. I
have heard of multiple people getting fired from a job for something that they
posted. After reading this article I will be very careful with the content that
I put on my social media as well as ways to strengthen my online reputation.
As I stated in the beginning we
didn’t have a whole lot of people join our discussion. Honestly the only people
that seemed to be in our discussion were the people in our class. I am not
really sure how we could get a bigger response. One of our flaws was the fact
that our hash tag was not very popular so twitter would not put it in the top
tweets. I feel if there were a way to make our hashtag more popular people
would have joined. Another thought that I had was the fact that many people
created a twitter souly for the purpose of this class not giving there account
allot of credibility. Many times when someone does not have a lot of tweets
twitter will not “allow” him or her to use a certain hashtag. As I learned this
from personal experience, at the beginning of the discussion my tweets would
not pop up, as I did not have the credibility to be recognized by twitter.
Lastly I think if we had had a discussion going on more people would have
joined. Lots of us were just tweeting things that we thought were funny. Now I
think with how hot the election/ president is right now many people would have
joined. With a valid argument and discussion many people like to say what is on
their mind. That would have really helped out our discussion. Overall this was
a very fun activity and gave us some more information and help on how to work
twitter.
Here are three of my tweets through
out the discussion.
