Blog about Twitter

Twitter discussion have some of the difference from blackboard discussion and in-class discussion. For instance, Twitter can response to particular person by @ that person, or includes a particular topic by # that topic. On the other hands, Blackboard and in-class discussion cannot # or @ particular person or topics. In addition, everyone can see the posts if it is on public, and they can choose to response whenever they want to. However, only the students in class can see your posts in Blackboard, and students have to response immediately if it is in class. Twitter offers more diversity, flexibility, and confidence, whereas, Blackboard and in-class discussion cannot. Furthermore, companies can reach customer in twitter. They can promote product and build customer loyalty. People can follow whatever they are interested. However, it is inappropriate to talk about topics not related to class in Blackboard, and companies definitely cannot reach customer in Blackboard or in-class.

    I totally agree with you. As a new user of Twitter, the overwhelming use of @ and hashtag has become an unique culture on Twitter and it begins to extend to other social media.

    Hey Aaron, I completely understand what you are talking about. Twitter is a lesser formal environment where we could write using hashtags or (@) someone. This does provide ease to users who would like to attract someone else's attention.

Blog: Privacy

Although new media has a lot of advantages, it has disadvantages in a subtle way. The biggest and serious issue is privacy. The biggest internet corporations collect our information when we are using the software. They collect our informations and provides and sells them to other big corporations. Those informations include website we visit, our shopping hobbit, and our interests that are analyzed by computer. Some websites of the biggest corporation put tracking software in our computer when we visit their websites. It clearly violates our privacy, but the supreme court ruled that it is ok for them to put tracking in our computers. I was shocked to hear that. In addition, the biggest internet corporation, Google, is monitoring our face and voice when we are using Google. There is a Youtuber who did an experiment. He first found out what kind of advertisements appeared on the website, which are mixed with different products and news. Then, he closed the website and pretended to talk ab

If Baruch College hired me to use new media to improve the college, I would implement 3 things. First, I will make a open online Baruch library where has all the textbook students need for different courses. By doing so, students can download the textbooks either for free or cheaper price. The problem is copyright. Therefore, Baruch should negotiate with the publications for a greater deal. We all know that if the textbook is too expensive, we can still find free online textbook online in some ways, but it might takes longer time. Then why don't publication lower the price for college students, so we can download the online version in a cheaper price. It benefits both sides, the publication and students. Second, I will implement a new and updated ID card which allows students and professors entering the building without swiping. We all know that it is annoying to take out our ID card and swipe every time we enter a new building. With a updated ID card, students can enter the buildi

We all know that parking is vital to many of us. It is very difficult to find a parking especially in New York City or during holiday. Even though we  find an spot, we sometimes are not sure can we park here or not. Therefore, I think a new media could be about parking. This media can help users to find available parking spot near you. When one user is ready to leave, he can notify other users near him, and whoever responses faster, he or she can get the parking spot. This media also helps users to figure out whether this spot is parking meter or unavailable at this moment. It also translate into different language, which helps foreigners as well. This media takes a lot of effort and time to complete, but if someone has successfully create it, I strongly believe almost everyone will use it even though it might cost few dollars per month.
