Editor's Notes

  1. With many forms of communicating in today’s world we see different networking options that come available as technology increases. There is something for everybody to talk about these days. Some examples are personal networks to stay connected as well as sharing and commenting on videos, files, and pictures. Other ways of communication include blogs and RSS feeds. Wikipedia says, “Social media is media designed to be disseminated through social interaction, created using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques. Social media uses Internet and web-based technologies to transform broadcast media monologues (one to many) into social media dialogues (many to many).” It is a very inexpensive form of communication that can be accessed globally.
  2. http://www.facebook.com/facebook?ref=pf#/press/info.php?statistics http://www.insidefacebook.com/2009/02/14/facebook-surpasses-175-million-users-continuing-to-grow-by-600k-usersday/ http://www.insidefacebook.com/2009/07/02/facebook-now-growing-by-over-700000-users-a-day-updated-engagement-stats/
  3. Why did you put this hyperlink here? (the last one?) it is a reference hyperlink,
  4. MySpace can be used to run surveys on different groups as well as keeping in touch with friends. Profiles can be made personalized with music in the background and all the information about a person, band or business. With Facebook having much more networking capabilities and more popularity especially with college age students we see that as the preferred personal social media outlet. MySpace in my opinion is being used more and more by the younger demographics.
  5. Because social medias are free or very inexpensive we see a lot of teachers and eventually programs taking on the use of these devices in order to enhance classroom activity as well as content. Some of the devices in use already are file sharing sites in order for students to post homework as well as having the ability to share good websites related to the topics. Blogs, wikis and podcasts can all be used during a classroom setting in order to educate on popular topics as well as get students involved in popular discussions. Many employers will look up people on Facebook in order to see what kind of person they really are since almost everyone has one these days which is why early education might help in keeping some pages clean. I have had many classes where YouTube videos were used to educate on topics as well as having to post our own videos. This is a free way for teachers to emphasize certain points. Twitter and Facebook both have updates on them which can be used to give lesson plans or let students know when there might not be class. All of these tools if used properly can enhance a student’s educational experience and understanding.
  6. This chart shows overall involvement of social medias in various countries. Each countries different societies have a different interaction within the social media realms. Some countries tend to have stronger prevalence in blog responses and posting as opposed to just reading them. Other countries prefer more the social medias and others still use other medias more frequently. Depending on how a society interacts with its own people tends to be how they will use social medias.
