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 vs. Wiki

Blogs and wikis were some of the first new media that began to grow since the start of the internet. Both allow users to write down information and make it public for others on the internet to go through it. Blogs, on the one hand, are a bit more personal. You can think of them as a personal webpage. On the other hand, wikis are more information-based and used to talk about a particular topic or area. Furthermore, wikis allow for multiple people to collaborate and work on a similar project. This can be great for companies or departments who have many people on it. Wikis can be seen as a grassroots project that people can contribute to, and blogs can be where you talk about a piece of work or topic that you're interested in. One particular blog site that I used to use a lot a few years back was Tumblr. Yahoo decided to buy them out. However, the company has seen its user growth flatten during the past few months, according to the article. What the company started to see is where ...

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...
