Week 5 questions yo

What enables hatred as public performance? What other effects come from the combination of the same sources?

Well the ability to have content available to everyone with internet opens the door for more criticism. People have the view that just because they are not in person they can say what ever they want. It creates a public performance to critic someones content but in a more hated and harsh way. This can really create some bad communities. We all remember Rebecca Black - Friday. It was said to be the worst song ever and a small group of people that hated on it grew into over 100 million view, most of which being hate comments. So combination of the haters with all the people that just jump on the bandwagon can cause a lot of damage.

What is user-generated organization?

This is a organization not set up by any specific person or the government but a lot of people that like the same thing all together making content. A great example is the gaming community on youtube. It is a bunch of people putting up there content they created all together making a gaming organization, so a user-generated organization.

What is user-generated distribution?

Basically what I just explained but the distribution of the content that make up the user-generated organization

What is user-generated commentary?

This is the peoples word that make up the user-generated organization that put out the content. It is what there word is and what they tell everyone else.

What is the purpose of media?

It is to spread information and keep freedom of speech alive. Media has changed the world immensely and it has given people the ability to make content that they can display to anyone. That is the simple term but thing about what it can do. It has the bases to make huge organizations and groups, which it has, and even change the way people thing, which it has. Its purpose is definable a lot of different ways but this is the most important to me.

What is … and why do we care about … networked individualism?

Networked Individualism is what you as a content creator are. We are all examples of networked individualism because even with this blog we have created something for everyone to see. We care because this is the root of my thoughts on media, we need to be able to post something as simple as this blog to be able to create organizations and groups. This is what starts everything.

Conclusion

So after my research I think that in the future sites like Facebook and Google+ will become the main social networking sites. Facebook is growing fast and has a lot to offer the web but with there privacy problems and constant changing that will make people go to Google+. Twitter will become the main place that people go to get things like news updates and to see what there favorite celebrity is up to. Myspace will eventually die out with the exception of the few hardcore fans. Facebook has more than 800 Million members and that number will soon hit 1 billion.

As you can see Twitter has more that 120 million accounts and that is also growing.

The world is becoming a completely online place and with the way people are always connected now it's only a matter of time before are cars are all connected to each other to avoid accidents and such.

My 2 questions - due OCT 16

How many internet users have searched for information about themselves?

57% of adults search themselves online to find out what they can find. That number is up 10% in the last 4 years. I also think younger people do this more often just because its a fun thing to do. When I was younger i didn't just search it I put my name .com and .net and a lot of other things just because I was curious.

Is being “findable and knowable” a good thing? Why?

I think being findable online is a good thing but only to some people. For me it would be a great thing because I want to have clients and be known but for someone like Ali Atwa you want to stay off the grid.

So many differences!

Well I have never been a part of Google+ but I have seen a lot of videos on it. MySpace was the first social site I was on like most people and Facebook then took over. Twitter is very different from the other three in obvious reasons. If you have ever used Twitter you know its like a message board for people your interested in. But on the other three it is everything, picture albums, music pages, etc. The features are basically the same for everyone but Twitter give or take a few features.

Functionality and usability, I think, go together with this. One of the biggest goals of the company that run these sites it to make it function right and very easy to use for everyone because they want as many members as possible.

The population and demographics are pretty easy to see with these sites. Facebook has a larger age demographic because you know your little cousin is on it and so is your grandma. They also have the largest population at 800 million. Twitter and Google+ have a large population but only in younger people. The fact that Google+ is new and twitter is just a younger person thing makes me thing that. Finally MySpace has a smaller population but there population is younger people that don't enjoy Facebook.

I really don't know with MySpace and Google+ because I haven't been on Google+ to see ads but I know that MySpace has them. A huge thing with businesses now is Facebook. 95% of all businesses have a Facebook page and that number is growing. Facebook also has a controversial way with ads because of there privacy problems. Twitter does ads but doesn't have a huge impact on business because no one wants' to follow Johns Tire Shop and Lube on twitter.

MySpace did have a impact on society and pop culture but now that has passed. It is at Facebook now and if you don't have a Facebook nowadays your a weird person to most people. Everyone these days just assum everyone else has a Facebook. With younger people twitter is like that and Google+ is getting more and more popular.

With government and politics we are going to talk about Facebook and Twitter because that's all that really matters in this category. When people want to organize a get together, a riot, a protest or anything they use Facebook and Twitter because its the easiest way to reach people.

They all have a large impact on free speech because you can literally say anything you want at anytime. But privacy is a different thing. Now you can change your settings on privacy but Facebook has had a lot of problems with privacy and people leave Facebook because of it.

That's all, bye.

I just got done making this for my computer so I thought I would share it!

This is a blog posting

So I am making this post because we have to. This will be filled will absolutely no creative content and the level of spontaneous action is zero. Their will be no exciting punctuation. I will include no pictures, no large fonts, nor any colors of any kind. If you are her for fun then please exit because their will be non of that here. This will be dry, boring, and have a slight smell of old coffee. The grammer will be mediocre and things will have no proper ending or beginning cheese.

Grammer test results :)
