Blog about Twitter

Twitter is one the leading social media platforms in the world and varies significantly from Blackboard discussions and in-class discussions. Twitter is great for communicating with the whole world on your opinions. If you want to discuss or respond to a topic with the whole world, twitter is the place for it. Blackboard discussions are limited to responding to posts from your classmates. Blackboard discussions is good for doing homework and responding to your classmates from home. It helps connect classmates while you are not together. In-class discussions are the best way to communicate with your classmates and professor. Inside a classroom, people can communicate quickly, efficiently and clearly. People can elaborate what they mean, so there is never a misconception about what someone means. The problem is that once the class ends, there is no communication between classmates unless we use an online platform. Each of these modes of communication are best used for different scenarios and each provide a great tool to solve a problem.

An interesting idea of new media is to create a social network specifically for gamers. The new media platform would have chats for gamers to connect, pages to post pictures or videos of their game content, and a comment and like section to respond to each post. There can even be a facetime-like feature on the social network so gamers can connect and play games together. One interesting feature that the social network can include are stories such as the ones on Snapchat and Instagram. This will create a new media for gamers that contains a good mix of features from Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook. The gaming industry is growing more and more every year, especially professionally gaming. Gamers communicate a lot through their headset, but it would be great if there can be a platform to connect gamers when they are not actually playing video games. Gaming is an expansive industry in need of a new media to make communication easier and better.

Creativity and New Media

I play video games a lot so in my free time I created an em blem that would be displayed every time I play a game. I was able to use many tools available in Call of Duty. The game lets me use hundred of different building blocks and with some help from YouTube, I was able to create this emblem. Through the PS4 Share feature, I was able to screenshot the emblem on my console and email it to myself. I found it extremely interesting how new media gives us tools that can easily show how creative we truly are.

Advice

I would advise Baruch to establish a larger social media presence in the new age of new media. Baruch has social media accounts, but they should try to significantly grow their following and audience. Baruch is not as well known outside of New York as many other universities. Social media is the largest growing platform for communication and would be a great tool to reach out to new audiences. Baruch can invest by hiring more marketing professionals as well as competing in international business competitions. This would significantly raise Baruch’s brand. Social media is the best way to expand your reach and baruch should take advantage of this growing opportunity.
