“likes” measures the about of new likers of a brand. b. Carmex: engagements are more important than likes because you can have people “like” pages with promotions without any knowledge of the product or true interest to ever purchase the products. A lot of ‘likes can provide inaccurate information due to the amount of individuals that simply click it without reading. 3 a. Engagement: Connecting to the Facebook audience by posting quality content daily that might attract consumers and gives them an opportunity to engage.
We would need to have the focus on quality and superior customer service. Most of the individuals using this will get it free of charge, however businesses can register and will have tiered options of advertising and payment. One thing when you have social media is not having “blackouts”. This is when servers or power outages can shut down the site. We need to have the foreside to put in safeguard and backup plans in place to prevent or at the very least minimize the damage that can
Tevin Hutchinson 11/10/2012 English 102 Technology plays a huge role in our everyday life. I do believe that technology has made our lives easier, but it also has made us more dependent on the technology itself. When using the internet for a dictionary you could easily get distracted. Anyone can put anything on the internet, so what you find might not be accurate. Most people find that looking things up on the internet is distracting because you are already on the web so why not check YouTube for a funny video, or update your status on the social network.
This affects us greatly because what we give is what we now get. In chapter one Pariser states, “Your behavior is now commodity, a tiny piece of a market that provides a platform for the personalization of the whole internet". To put in other words, your personal information is sold so businesses know what to sell. An interesting quote is added in this chapter, “If you get something for free, you’re the product, not the customer"(Pariser45). What is meant by this is sites such as Google or Facebook give us free services, or so we think, but what is really happening is they collect our personal information and sell them to businesses so they can use it to lure us into buying their products through specialized ads.
People get the rare chance online to be someone else, or at the very least the best part of themselves. We choose how we are portrayed on facebook we put up the photos we want people to see and we make the statuses we want people to like, we conform to that massive “friends” list. In real life people dont get this opportunity, we can spot a phony a mile away, people will see through your act but online it is so easy to control what they see and how they see it, the truth can be bent and even broken into any shape you want to make, but what are the consequences of this.. obviously 40 year old women pretending they are 16 year old girls will have a detremental affect on a community but are the boys who pretend they are a little more naughty than the really are, swear a little more than they would usually and conform a little bit more to the stereotype of a teenage really doing any harm at all? I think they are, these boys are losing the most
Cody Janowski 12/2/10 English Comp Assignment 4 The Internet has undoubtedly changed the way people live their lives. Any information we could possibly want- and more- is at our disposal, and has made life for us incredibly convenient and easy; some, however, might say too easy. One of these people is Nicholas Carr, author of the article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” featured in the July/August 2008 edition of The Atlantic. Carr argues that the Net seems to be slowly demolishing our abilities to concentrate on one subject, as well as contemplate information, based on the ease of access to everything the Internet provides today. I agree with Carr to an extent; however I would say that his theory most certainly does not apply to everyone.
Many people in businesses believe, because something is for free the product has a pure quality or bad to no support. In any open source company there are different supports and service modules available. One option is to hire the company for the installation, or accept a paid service contract for future maintenance and upgrades. There also free support available through a community forum that connects too many developer or users around the globe. All those people are happy to help to solve problems that may arise.
Many under developed countries are not enforcing the issues of copyright leading to outrageous software piracy. Let’s give ourselves a scenario: we love certain gadgets, software, and entertainment media. What should we do? They’re something we really want to have for fraction of the cost. Plus, we could buy them as gifts for friends and family.
Like most websites, they lure you in with free to set-up but then limit what you can do so you feel like you should pay the money for the other services. I don’t think you can call a service or website free when you have to pay to get anything out of it. Part 4: The Advantages Some of the
