Privacy on Facebook

When it comes to privacy on facebook, most profiles have different settings. Some allow EVERY person on facebook to see your posts and photos. Others allow only your friends to see posts and photos. It was very intresting to see what Laurie was able to discover via facebook about the classmates who didnt have privacy up to code :)

These days many jobs will look on facebook before hiring a person for a professional job. This is very important to have your privacy setting tight to only allow your friends to see your photos and posts. If you are "tagged" in a innaproprate photo it is YOUR job to "untag" yourself so your friends cannot view that photo.

After viewing the powerpoint I believe my privacy setting were pretty good. As far as I know Laurie was unable to access my profile or view my photos. One this I will do is go through my photos and delete any of them as seem innaproperate for a professional setting.

TWITTER!

 

 

 

Twitter is an online micro blogging website which allows you to post a message in 140 characters or less. Many businesses use twitter to follow competitors and fellow business-people in the same business. I have many friends that use twitter for business and they all agree, right now twitter is the most useful social media site for networking ans growing your business.

CONS OF USING TWITTER:
-Twitter is very busy, if you are not a major company it may be hard to get noticed.
-Twitter is not the best to share visuals. It seems to be lacking when it comes to picture and video sharing.
-You only get 140 characters to voice your opinion. For some people that is not enough room!

PROS OF USING TWITTER:
-Twitter is huge! This can also be a con but if you tweet (and have many followers) your tweet will get noticed by many people.
-FOLLOWERS. Every follower you have will see every tweet. This will also help spread the word about your business.

Engage- This type of tweet encourages you to ask questions or a bold statement to draw in followers.

Ex- What is your wakeboard of choice and why?

Entertain- A tweet to entertain or something interesting to grab attention.

Ex- http://funnyjokesriddles.weebly.com/wakeboarding-xs.html

Inform- Tells your followers about an upcoming date or event.

Ex- Release of our 2014 wakeboards coming in January 2014!

Mention- A mention tweet will include "@" which will tag a follower so they are able to view your tweet. Also used to reply to someones tweet.

Ex- @CDwakeboards I just bought one of your new boards and could not be happier! #thanks
