HW Creativity

For this blog post, I am going to talk a little bit more about how social media has enabled people to get more creative. First and foremost, people now have a platform where they can massively share whatever they want whenever they want. There are plethoras of ways how we can share that creativeness. Apps and sites like YouTube and TikTok allow us to create video content and share with millions of subscribers. Twitter and Facebook allow us to share instant updates of our daily lives, either through a post, similar to this, a picture post, or a video. Instagram has become known as the platform to share pictures. People call it a bit superficial but it's people's way of getting creative with a certain aesthetic/theme.

Having many different platforms to be on, now gives marketers new ways to connect with customers and be able to understand them better. After reading "How user-generated content can improve your social media marketing strategy" by Lisa Mulcahy, the author talks about ways to really understand your customers and the best way to accomplish that goal is by getting involved with your audience. You should try to engage with them. You need to take advantage of what they post. There are multiple avenues for you to understand your type of demographics. As you get involved in their digital space, you'll begin to formulate what exactly they are looking for and how they hope you translate those messages.

Blog: P2P

File sharing is the ability to share data, aka files, from one user to another user. Usually, this would include things such as videos, documents, audio, and meta-data. This can be done through a system of networks or over the internet. This way the other person can see or have access to your files.  P2P or Peer-to-Peer sharing is a community-based file sharing platform or way of sharing files. The files are added to a platform so anyone on the internet can have access to that file or files. Some popular examples of P2P file sharing are LimeWire and BitTorrent. These file-sharing platforms are basically like the wild west when it comes to sharing files. If someone manages to get access to top-secret files or ways to hack into a system, someone can post it up on here. Another example of P2P file-sharing system includes Lending Club. They have created this new platform for a,  "more direct funding process between the investors and the borrowers ... There's no branch network. Eve...

Blog: Privacy

Privacy and confidentiality are basically non-existent on social media. It's kind of daunting to think that everything that goes online is on there forever. It's been placed and can never go back, despite, let's say deleting a post. Our privacy concerns are not just limited to what we post but also extend with what the companies are doing with our information. We're finally entering a new period now where people are taking privacy and confidentiality online a lot more seriously, especially after the whole Facebook analytics fiasco a few years ago. It's become more clear to us, the users, of how much information these companies collect from us. The reason why these platforms are free is that the companies themselves sell our data in terms of advertisements. That being said, governments are finally starting to take a stance on this issue and are coming up with stricter regulations for tech companies to follow. Some of them constantly send their users emails with the...

Blog: Advice

If I was a new hire for Baruch and was in charge of managing our social media there are many different approaches I could take. However, before diving into any strategies first I would want to understand who are demographics are, this would include learning where most of our audience spends there time on. Each strategy would differ depending on the office that I'm working for and what the ultimate goal is. I think one creative solution that I've seen is having a student leader take over a specific platform for the day and answer questions people might be having. The student or staff can also do a day in my life. The school could also benefit by sharing resources through their social media and tailoring those messages depending on where they are going (i.e. twitter vs LinkedIn). Whenever we post any pictures or graphics, I would make sure they are high-quality content whenever possible of course. Nonetheless, I think the school has definitely gotten better with their social medi...
