For this week in class, we were asked to set up our Hootsuite accounts that we may access all the cool resources Hootsuite has to offer. After browsing the site, I was surprised to find the vast amount of helpful information Hootsuite provides on how to succeed in a social-media driven world. Our first assignment, SCMD 121, was a series on videos on a few popular social media sites. Most of them, like Facebook and Tumblr, I already knew a lot about because I am a veteran of those sites. Although, personally I disagreed with some of the things the video had to say about Tumblr being user-friendly. The majority of people on Tumblr are very fed up with the ways Tumblr keeps changing and making it LESS user-friendly and more and more of a coding nightmare, but that was the only nitpick I have about the videos. What I did learn a lot about was the more adult sites such as LinkedIn and Foursquare. A lot of people think of social media as a very young-person only type of thing, but that is far from true. LinkedIn is helpful for working professionals and Foursquare is helpful for businesses and their customers. Through this course I discovered their really is a social media network for everyone out there. On an unrelated note, I really enjoyed the video player on Hootsuite. I thought it was very clean-looking and easy to use. That’s all for this week!
