Social Media.

Social media.

In filling out a Google document about social media. I did not learn much because I use those social networks often enough that I know how to use them and some of the perks that they have. However, there were somethings that I had never thought of before. For example;

When a picture is uploaded to Instagram, all copy rights, publication rights, and other rights are reserved to Instagram. This means that they can publish them anywhere they choose or do anything with them with out your permission. I read something that was worrying about the possibility of their photos showing up on commercials or any number of other media sources. Instagram also makes it very easy to make your photos look more professional. The filters make all the difference in a picture. From my own experience I have noticed that a filter can either make a picture look perfect, artistic, and all around wonderful; it can also make is look over edited and extremely fake.

On another social network, Twitter, the photo editing process is about the same. I believe it is a better quality because it rarely makes a picture look pixelated like other photo sharing websites can. However, photos are not the main focus of Twitter. This site tries to allow for easy communication. On nearly everything I have seen or read about Twitter touches on the ease of conversation and the convenience for finding information, along with some humor about its addictive qualities. There are some people who tweet, or update, nonstop. Twitter has a limit on the amount of updates you can do in an hour, which is 1000. In my opinion, that is a good thing because when I scroll through my twitter and all I see are the rambling conversation to no one but themselves, then I get annoyed. When the creators made twitter I do not think the intended for it to be a place for someone to talk to themselves, but for some people that is what it is. Not that there aren't people who tweet witty updates at a normal rate of just a few a day, but some people do go a little over board. In generl, Twitter is a very amusing site to be spending my time on.

Tune in next time to hear me rant about any other topic under the sun.

Also, here is a link to a Google Document about social medias.
