Blog: Wiki So Far

Throughout the past few weeks, I edited grammars and formatted pictures on content other people contributed. I have also contributed by adding a few paragraphs and some pictures to existing new media topics. The topics I added content to includes New Media in Love, Fashion, MMORPGs, and Twitch.tv.

I created another section for Finding Love through the use of Mobile Apps which is section 5.11 for the dating app Tantan. Tantan is a Chinese dating app that is mainly use by Asians and is extremely similar to Tinder which causes it to be known as the Chinese version of Tinder. Under section 5.11 I added a paragraph explaining what Tantan is like, comparing it, and explaining how to use it.

I also added another paragraph to section 5.13 of the same topic known as the Dangers of Online Love Finding. Here I inputted a case that happened a few years ago where an online dating app user got murdered by the online date she was meeting up with.

For Social Media and Fashion I created a new section, section 2.5 which is Celebrities Influence in Fashion via Social Media. There I contributed three paragraphs and three pictures to explain how celebrities use social media to gain popularity, but while celebrities are doing that they are influencing their fans on what is deemed "cool/ fashionable".

On Twitch.tv created another section, section 1.2 Donations and Sponsorships. I contributed a paragraph on how streamers receive donations or sponsorships and the form they come in. I also mentioned how streamers become successful and treat this social media as a job.

For the topic MMORPGs, I added a lot of different terminology gamers use and edited some.

All of the above topics I contributed by adding a paragraph or more includes adding at least one picture. As for the edits I made on other wiki contributors, it is mostly grammar or formatting pictures or spacing to make it look slightly neater.

For the future, I will most likely be doing more editing of grammar and attempting to format contents.

HW Creativity

New media have always fostered creativity in one way or another. YouTube have always allowed it's users to post videos or music that can be unique to themselves that also gives other ideas. A lot of viewers on YouTube share and generate ideas through others; it's like a community. For example, the way a YouTuber vlogs is something they created that might result as a trend that others follow. In article, "1+1+1=1" they talk about mashing up different music into one song. It is the creativity of taking certain parts of each song that will fit well together and harmonizing it. A good example would be "Debra" a song by Beck and "Frontin" a collaboration by Jay-Z and Pharrell Williams. The two songs mashed up together is later known as "Frontin on Debra". Without new media everything will be a lot more isolated from one another. Not saying that there can't be creativity without new media, but with new media it definitely helps and complime...

Blog: Advice

There are many ways new media can be used to improve college experience for professor's and students. One way would be professors making a YouTube video of their lecture slides and voice recording as materials for online/hybrid courses. This can really help because just reading lecture slides might be confusing, so adding a voice recording of explanation would definitely help and people generally learn better with both visual and listening. Another way is for every student and professor to have a Facebook account for college use only. Every student will then be invited to a group by each of their professors so that the group is organized into every class/section. All materials, announcements, and grades would be posted to the group and things not related to the class won't be there. People can also share information in case anyone missed anything during class. This is definitely better than Blackboard because people tend to check social media more than Blackboard. Social medi...

Blog about Twitter

Twitter is like a new unknown social media networking site to me. I personally don't really like how Twitter works because it is not as user friendly as others. I still do not know the difference between Reply and Retweet as mentioned in my previous blog. But for class discussion purposes, I dislike the idea of people using personal Twitter accounts because it makes it very difficult due to the amount of spams I see on my feed. I get the idea of hashtag to search for stuff related to class discussion, but I would say it is a lot more convenient if everyone have a fresh new account used solely for our class discussion. On the other hand, Blackboard discussion is better but still not really to my liking because it takes too many clicks to reply to a single post. I like posts like Facebook or Instagram where you can just click "Reply" on the post when you see it on the feed. Blackboard is a lot more organized compared to Twitter because it is visible to all classmates and ab...
