Final Assignment

Final Assignment

 

My First year at UHD went great. UHD 1301 stood out a lot. It was my first and only computer class this semester. It was great because we used all the tools I learned through out  my senior year of high school such as prezi and blogger. I got to say my expectations were met in your class as a first time UHD student. Working with other students in my class made my experience more lively. Id say add more group assignments. Your assignments were different and an amazing learning experience. Fascinating facts were shared during this course. At the end I give this course a thumbs up. 

Social Media Consultation November 20, 14 (Fast Food Blog)

Ray DeLaRosa, Jose Garcia, Gabriel Lopez

The company our group chose is McDonald’s.  McDonald’s is the second largest fast food chain in America. They sell a variety of food products to consumers around the globe. Social media is important to McDonald’s because it keeps them in the loop. The way technology advanced over the years they had to adapt quick.

            McDonald’s joined twitter in September of 2009. Since 2009 they have tweeted over 27,000 times. McDonald’s social media is used to easily communicate between corporation and consumer. McDonald’s uses social media because it’s one of the easiest and fastest ways to notify its consumer’s the latest news on McDonald’s.  McDonald’s uses its social media to advertise its new products and shows good deals. The people who operate McDonald’s social media is their marketing department. McDonald’s also uses Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and Facebook. They all do the same thing, which is to tell us the latest news about deals and products. On Instagram they post pictures that attract us to go to McDonald’s. Twitter is used to advertise their new products.  Their Facebook also advertises their products.

Our Social Media Recommendations:

Offer more coupons and deals

Bring back the old characters of McDonald’s

Allow online orders

They overall use of social media by McDonald’s is very good. They have an excellent team that knows how to attract the consumer eye.

We got our information from McDonald’s Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and their website.

Blog Assignment 6:Privacy

 

 

 

Facebook: Privacy on Facebook is fair. I can block users. Unfriend users and I can also make sure certain people can view my posts. Bad thing is anyone can hack your file by just getting your password and email.

 

 

Gatormail: I feel safe on gatormail. Only the university can access it other than me. School related only. I can only email professors advisors and other colleges as well.

 

 

Twitter: Twitter is some what safe as well. I can tweet what whatever I want. I can delete tweets other people mention me in. I can also block users. One of the bad things is once you tweet something the whole world can see it.

 

 

Instagram: Instagram is way safer I believe. Its my most favorite social media icon in my phone. I can put my posts to private. I can send direct picture messages to whom I want to send them too. I can block random followers. I can pick and choose what photos I want on my Photo map. And I can easily delete inappropriate comments from other people on my photos as well as my comments.

What sources do you anticipate using?

We will be using Google Search Engine to find articles as our sources.

The New York Times

and some blog sites. 

SIDE NOTE

We chose this topic and research because we think its very important to know whats okay to post online. Social Media is used by millions, if not billions billions daily. People are so quick to express their opinion online, show the latest gadgets they got by posting a picture, or post pictures from party they had last night. Social Media has a big influence on todays world, so we think its important to address the question "Whats Okay to Post Online".  People can get easy information about you online, and they can use this information  against you. People have to be safe online.
