Week 11 Blog Post

 In this week's assignment, I decided to focus on Social media influencers and Twitter. I have had a Twitter account for around 3 years now and often times find it very reliable in some cases. I believe that the trending page is very valuable in many different aspects and is the most reliable app for news. I think that this would be a great website to promote a business on.

The trending feature is where I first found out about Kobe Bryant's passing and often updates on political issues as well. I think that in order to better develop this app they should have more reliable sources. At some points, there is news on the app which seems fake and unreliable at times. This is the thing that I believe would help better the app even more. 

In the big picture of social media these days, social media influencers are at the middle of it all. Social influencers have developed the most from TikTok which is one of the biggest apps in the world right now. Influencers from apps like TikTok are now being cast in large movie productions and making thousands of dollars per video they post on the app. Their followers follow them from TikTok to other platforms like Instagram or Twitter.

Facebook is becoming a dying platform. I believe that this app is in the past and many apps have more advanced features that apply more to the younger audiences rather than the app most use to post pictures of their children on. I believe that in order to have a following still, Facebook should reconsider some of its features. In the bigger picture, Instagram and Twitter have taken the world by storm. I left TikTok out as not many older people use this app so it has a small audience of the older generations. 

To wrap everything up I believe that in order to further stay updated many people should look on Twitter more. I love the Twitter app and it is most times where I get my news before checking some other news sources. I believe that Social Media Influencers are on the rise and are the next big celebrities. Becoming a Social Media Influencer is not easy, but if the fame is obtained it is often great.

Week 1 Blog Post

 8-26-20     I chose the theme of the leaves and the bright background to represent my personality and my love for tropical places. I have been an outgoing person for most of my life and do not shy away from different people or opportunities that arise. I feel as though the bright colors represent my personality of loud and bright. I have often been called a "bright light" in people's lives and someone who makes other people smile. With everything going on in the world currently, I have tried to be as uplifting  as possible to those around me.      During my life, I have had the opportunity to travel to some amazing places and I am forever grateful my parents provided me with those trips to learn about different cultures all over the world. My favorite place in the entire world would have to be Sayulita in Mexico. I love how I feel as though in the jungle and the amazing creatures I have witnessed while there. I just went for the third time in seven years a few weeks ago

Week 13 Blog Post

 As I have mentioned before I do not have a Facebook account, but recently there was an added feature to Instagram that many people are not in approval of. There is now a feature that allows you to purchase clothing and other types of items from the app. This is very different and bold for them to do as I believe it does not fully know what the person is looking for and or shopping for. I believe some of the ads are very annoying and ultimately just very basic. I clicked on the link for this necklace brand and it did not even take me to the company website, I believe that Instagram may be recieving money from these ads.  In the past, many just skip over the ads in newspapers and throw them away as oftentimes they are just an extra page and no real "news". I know that many people love the ads on Facebook and find them extremely beneficial in the long run and have purchased items from these ads. These are curated for the person at some times and many think that they are being s
