Communication Design and Theory/Social Media and Web 2.0
Today many TV shows and advertisements try to look amateurish or "homegrown" to emulate what is often seen on the Web. Do you think professional production values will continue to drop, or do you think amateur user-generated content will get better over time? WHY??
I believe that even though this style of “homegrown” entertainment seems to be the ig money maker now, in a few years this trend will eventually decline. People are beginning to voice their opinions on how they are feeling about people making constant productions with the same theme or main idea. Also with the way things are going, especially with movies, majority of productions will be in 3D.
What social media sites do you find yourself using the most, and why? In your opinion why is Facebook so much more successful than MySpace, and do you think Facebook is "here to stay" for the long term.
I find myself using facebook most of time, though I’ve never became addicted to it I see more and more why it has become more popular than myspace. I also have a myspace account but I have not accessed it in over a year. I find myspace to be a lot more cluttered with plug-ins, videos, photos etc, making that one profile at times harder to load up. In my opinion, facebook also makes it easier to communicate with friends and to keep in contact with them by given you constant updates. And the fact that it has a great app for virtually any phone with internet capabilities makes it easier.
Why is transparency such an important concept in the Social Media world? Is it MORE or LESS important in the offline world? Why?
Transparency is very important because it helps us in a way keep track of a company, to make sure they don’t do anything that can harm us. It allows us as the consumer to be able to be aware of what it is we’re getting into and in a way helps the corporation earn our trust and use their services more.
