TOPIC 7 - BLOG QUESTION
B00239895
Facebook and Twitter are two of the best innovations of the past few years.
List the benefits and drawbacks of these innovations and state,
in light of the benefits and drawbacks you identify, whether or not you agree
with this statement.
Answer:
I use Facebook in terms of
connecting with my own life- my past and my present, my family and my friends.
Twitter is more about meeting people who are complete strangers to me and
having conversation which can be very quickly forgotten or this stranger will
become my friend due to same interest or hobby.
Facebook is a way of
connecting with friends but it can also be use as a bullies’ tool. Its privacy
is very poor so therefor anyone can message you or tag you in the picture you most
likely want to forget. Twitter on the other hand is a faster way of
communication with tweets all over the place but has no privacy and anybody can
follow you. I am not the fan either of these social media. Yes, they both can
be very effective tools if you properly use them but they becoming more popular
with youngster who hid behind the screen and forgetting how to socialize face
to face. We are judge on how many friends we have, who is following us,
pictures we post but reality can be totally different. Some people use these to
create the fake life and forget how to live the real one.

Explain how you have/or you could use social media and
technology creatively to promote yourself to a prospective employer? (100 words) (2%)
Answer:
Social media and technology
can not only help me to promote myself to a prospective employer by showcasing
my professional network membership or what I am all about outside of work but
also how I will be able to use it on behalf of my employer and his business. Also
being able to follow company on social networking will show my commitment and
interest within the business and allows me to show off some of my work and
ideas. Using LinkedIn and About.me to create my profiles will show a level of
my seriousness about my career.
