MY SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY

1. Connecting: Introduce yourself and tell me why you want to connect

I would like an introduction from my new followers introducing them to other followers.

2. Follow, add, friend:

You can follow anyone you want but if you have the same followers as someone else everyone that is a mutual friend of you two will automatically be followed.

3. Privacy, boundaries and safety:

Privacy is your decision. You can choose who can see what and who can access it. So make wise choices because the outcome is based on what you decided to share.

4. Signal to noise:

I am not annoyed by too many status updates or how random people can follow or unfollow you. But I am annoyed when someone follows and unfollows you many times.

5. Personal data and sharing:

I want this social network to connect people through interests and shared views.

6. My networking needs and uses:

I use Facebook once everyday but I use my Twitter at least thirty times a day because it is more common to have more status updates on Twitter than on Facebook. And my MySpace I usually don’t do anything to it except sign in and accept friend requests then log out.

7. Your criteria here:

My social network is used for networking in the real world.

For our FYE class we had to look up podcasts for our class and listen to them. This wasn’t necessarily easy for me because I didn’t even know what podcasts were. I didn’t know even one thing about them except that I see it in my iTunes and on my iPod.

So I went home and looked up podcasts through my Itunes and I was listening to the Michael Baisden radio show in the background. Then I thought just maybe this radio show might have a podcast. So I put the name Michael Basiden in the podcast search bar and there were plenty of podcasts by my favorite radio host. I subscribed to them all.

Then that day I had to drive back to Augusta so for the two-hour drive I listened to the podcast and it was like listening to his radio show whenever I wanted to. But I thought podcasts would be different because his podcasts were just tapes of his radio shows. I wasnt disappointed but I did expect more.

So the next day I decided to subscribe to The Onion podcasts because I thought it would be a lot better and iatually was. I really liked The Onion podcasts so I will continue to subcribe to them.

I read a lot of blogs….especially gossip and fashion blogs. Almost everyday I go on the internet and after I check my Facebook I go looks at my favorite blogs. My two favorite blogs are Bossip.com and VerySmartBrothas.com.
Bossip.com is a black fashion and gossip website. This website updates almost every minute about everything going on in the lives of black celebrities. I love this website and even sometimes in class I visit it because it’s on of the best websites out there. This website also does fashion and shows the newest fashions out there…and also the worst fashions out there.

My second favorite blog is VerySmartBrothas.com. This website is by two black males who like in Texas and they talk about everything you can think of in a black man’s perspective. They talk about politics, love, music, fashion, and many other topics. They authors never want to give away their identity so they go by “The Champ” and “Panama Jackson”. They love to talk about new topics that are in the news and always gives a humorous and funny take on the certain subject. This websites poked fun at celebrities and politicians in way. The creators of this blog is so good at their writing that they won a lot of awards and are always being recognized for their website.

There are many other blogs I like to read but those are my two favorite.
