2. Facebook I’ve decided to keep my Facebook private and more for the use of friends and family. Therefore, I’ve made it fairly private and unsearchable.
3. Twitter Twitter I want to use professionally and personally. I’ve followed more people and gained followers as well. I want to be able to know what’s going on in the political world as well as keep up with things I enjoy.
4. Linked-in Linked-In is a great professional tool. I’ve gathered several connections this semester and hope to continue to make my profile more complete.
5. jumo This has taken a little bit of time to figure out, but now that I feel like I have it, I really enjoy it and would like to get some of my other friends connected as well.
6. Stumble-upon This has become a new addiction. Not a day goes by that I don’t do some stumbling!
7. foursquare This has a lot of potential for me, but because I don’t have a smart phone, it doesn’t always work….but maybe someday…
9. Goal for the semester A few of the goals I had set for myself was to:-get more connections on Linked-In and complete my profile-get more followers on Twitter/follow people/topics that I think are interesting to me-read at least two versions of online print per day/follow them online
10. Goals moving on I hope to continue to grow each of my profiles and to continue to gather news online. I also hope to continue to work with different social media platforms in the future and investigate some of the new social media applications that are available for things like the iPad.
