Creativity and New Media

Creativity and New Media

    New media has enabled us to become creative in many ways that was unimaginable just few years ago.  For this assignment, I used Instagram to create a story where I can connect and interact with my current and potential followers.  Instagram now allows variety of ways that enable dynamic interaction between its users.  Few of those features include questions box, poll and quiz on stories that last for 24 hour span once posted.  
    In my Instagram story, I used multiple features to make it more attractive and there are few potential business opportunities as well.  I just tried to be casual with the question and included a countdown.  I also included a song that I thought goes well with the story.  If this story was for business then the question could've been about an upcoming album drop by an artist who wants to advertise on social media platform.  The countdown would be the release date and time.  And the music would be a snippet or a teaser from one of the songs in the album drop.

You can watch my assignment on my Instagram account by using the following link or by playing the screen recording video below:

    I like what you did for instagram and I think it is very cool that IG is giving people the freedom to interact with their followers. Though we live in a time where social media is a huge part of people's lives I think that people mostly interact with who they know already. People rarely private message all their followers because there is probably nothing to talk about. Being able to interact with all your followers and have a mutual idea to talk about will make it easier to talk to someone even if you just follow each other and never had a real conversation.

    In the past, I never thought that I could do such various activities through Instagram. Like you said, it's amazing how singers can promote their albums through Instagram countdown. Existing marketing companies will also have to strive to keep up with the development of these social networks.

Blog vs. Wiki

Blog vs. Wiki Blogs and wikis are web 2.0 technologies that allow creators to host an array of material from text to videos and music online.  Unlike previous web 1.0 technologies, they allow visitors to interact, contribute material and publish new content. Generally speaking a blog post is one person's opinion where people can opt in to have a discussion through comments.  It is geared towards sharing of news, knowledge or expertise.  Being a blogger with huge following allows the blogger to profit through advertisement on their blog site or by using affiliate marketing where they promote products from sponsors.   While blogs allow readers to interact with the blogger through comments it however, doesn't allow them to modify the blog posts.  And this is one key distinction between blogs and wikis.  Wikis are more collaborative due to the fact that they enable readers to modify content that are already posted or even create new content page where othe...

Blog about Twitter

Blog about Twitter      Twitter is an microblogging and social networking service where users can post and interact with others.  The messages or short microblogs are known as "tweets" and users are limited to 280 characters in a tweet.      Comparing Twitter to Blackboard discussion is like comparing a Ferrari to a Honda.  Honda is good but Ferrari is just better with its design and performance capabilities.  I think of the same while comparing Twitter discussion to Blackboard discussion.  Twitter has better design.  Its user focused design is miles ahead of Blackboard and the numerous features it has over Blackboard can be another blog post in itself.  I can see seamlessly and in blazing speed what my colleagues are talking about and see a specific topic discussion by using hashtag while in Blackboard I would have to go to a discussion, then click on one my friends post, then anoth...
