My Fourth Blog Post

During the social media week, I opened up a Twitter account and began tweeting. I tweeted ten times about education and ten tweets on topics I chose. Twitter is a way for people to tweet about interesting things and make new friends. I also read a number of articles about social media that were interesting to me. Social Media is the future and will help people accomplish tasks.

During social media week I took part in twitter. I was never a part of twitter previous to this and I learned many things about twitter. One of the things I learned was that social media is a way to interact with new people and a way to fallow businesses and pro athletes that interest me. I felt odd at the beginning of using twitter because I didn’t know what to tweet about. I began fallowing other people and saw how they were tweeting, so this was a good way to learn what to tweet. I began to become a fluent tweeter and had fun tweeting about my day and other miscellaneous things going on. Social media will help me reach goals in the future such as making new friends while at college. Twitter is a way to find other people who have the same interests as me. Twitter will also fulfill another goal of mine which is to have a career when I graduate. On Twitter, I can get my name out to businesses in my career and they also put job openings on Twitter.

I also read seven articles on social media during social media week. I learned many new insights while reading these articles. Most of the articles were about Twitter while one was on Facebook. I found it interesting that someone one can log onto either Twitter or Facebook when they are down and it could potentially pick up their mood. In the article, “Mexico Turns to Social Media for Information and Survival", I learned that terrorists in Mexico tweeted that the school were under attack. I thought that this was a terrible idea to post on Facebook because it was a false rumor that imprisoned them. I also learned that Twitter can help you become a more successful entrepreneur by building yourself up with Tweets.

As you can see, social media week was a fun time for me because I engaged in Twitter for the first time. I also learned many new insights from the articles I read on social media. Twitter is more than social media; it will help me to find a job opening and make new friends.
