Welcome!

Hey everyone!

I am very exited to be blogging for you this semester. Here, we will examine social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, and the effects that has on our everyday lives. Social media, which is becoming ever more popular, is a very powerful tool that is used in marketing, online interactions, and my personal favorite: the spread of knowledge. I truly believe that one can learn so much through social media, as long as they are following the right people. Only through social media has it become possible to see all of your interests on one page, along with other things that you had previously been unaware of, or hadn't really took the time to learn about.

I myself am a Twitter guy, and the content of my feed varies from the Chicago Bulls (my all-time favorite team), to underground rap, to global issues. From rappers to scholars, the people that I follow always have a great deal to say, and I am there to see the extraordinary things they do and preach; sometimes even applying it to my own life. With a click of a button or a flick of a finger, the whole world is there for you to see, and I believe this to be something that should most definitely be taken advantage of.


I look forward to blogging about my social media use for you guys this semester. Maybe you can learn a little bit from how I use it, and I can gain a better understanding on how you all do.

Till the next time,

Matt.
