5. The Purpose of WhatsApp.
• The main purpose of WhatsApp for social media users is that they
are able to communicate with friends and family internationally
without the traditional international communication charges.
• WhatApp is the result of electronic cross breeding between instant
messenger services and social media. WhatsApp is the means of
mediated communication for generations for children raised on
either medicated communication on social media sites like
WhatsApp.
• WhatsApp is available on Apple,Android,Windows,Nokia.This is
nearly all mobile devices which WhatsApp is available on, although
WhatsApp is only limited to mobile devices as it is for messaging
mostly and people would use this when they are out.
6. Purpose of WhatsApp-Slogan
• WhatsApp’s slogan is “Simple, Personal, Real Time Messaging". The verbal code of the Slogan
connotes how easy it is to stay in touch and message people with WhatsApp.
• “Personal” makes the user feel WhatsApp is unique with each person, and is for them only.
• By saying the app is “real time messaging”, this ‘signifies’ (De Saussure) that WhatsApp is quick
and simple with no delay when you are trying to message people.
• WhatsApp also has a slogan which when users download the app onto their mobile device, it
will appear on the home screen saying “Cross-Platform Mobile messaging with friends all over
the world". This is a positive way of getting people to download the app, whereby they are
conveying that their app will allow users to stay in contact with each other wherever they are in
the world, which allows people to staying in contact with their loved ones.
• The use of the verbal code of the phrase ‘All over the world” demonstrates how popular the
app is, and that it is being used by lots of people from different parts of the world.

Snap Chat offers. WhatsApp allows social media users to
send pre-recorded videos to each other as well as pre-
recorded audio notes. They are also able to send free
texts and communicate with others by using emojis, and
all of the above with one interaction.
Group Chats:
• WhatsApp allows users to create group chats with each
other, this means people are able to communication with
more than one person at a time.
Emoji's:
• People are also able to use the iPhone emoji's, on
WhatsApp, which means that the chat is more interactive.

• WhatsApp's interface is very neat and professional
looking, their interface is also easy to use and easy to
navigate for any users.
8. WhatsApp Analyzed.
Broadcast a message or Group: Users can click on these two
buttons to create a broadcast message which they are able to
tick on, certain users they want to send the broadcast message

which allows them to make a new group by clicking, picking
who they want to be in the group, as well as this they can also
name the group whatever they want.
Number of Messages: by each chat you will have a

has sent you. As well as this you can also see what
time the user sent these messages to you.

numbers in there which, you tend to message more often then
others. This also has a section where you can upload a status, such
as ‘cant talk’ ‘busy’ etc. this will then be shown on your profile, and
when people click on your chat.
Here is the settings section, this is where users are
able to go on settings, edit their profile, change their
chat background, and other features.
9. Target User/Membership.
• The types of people who use WhatsApp are generally most ages starting from around
15+, WhatsApp is a huge communication platform, most people tend to use WhatsApp
rather than regular SMS messaging is that WhatsApp allows people to communicate
with people free of charge. WhatsApp is becoming so popular as there is a free of
charge when communicating with people overseas, and while on holiday
communicating with others back home.
• WhatsApp is becoming more popular with the younger generation as they are able to
create groups on WhatsApp with their friends and communicate all together, younger
people also use WhatsApp are social creatures and are open to lots of different social
media platforms.
• WhatsApp has around 1 billion users. https://www.wired.com/2016/02/one-billion-
people-now-use-whatsapp/
Theories:
When it comes to Katz’ theory WhatsApp users would divert from day to day life as they
would use WhatsApp to escape to reality, this also links in with WhatsApp groups where
they can communicate with others and escape from day-to-day life. When it comes to
Maslow they would be “social Climbers” because they are driven by the change in social
media and what goes on in the social media world, and that they are attracted to keep up
with it, they are also driven to keeping up with gossip and what is going on in peoples lives
such as being “materialistic”
When it comes to the socio-economic needs WhatsApp is generally used by most ages,
although people who fit into the category E would like WhatsApp over any other form of
social media as WhatsApp is free to download, and is free to send messages. As the
majority of people in category E are either students or have a small job.
Lastly, when it comes to Hartley's theory WhatsApp is open to all races, ages and genders
as there isn't a specific person that can or cant have WhatsApp, the reason why is it
appealing to all genders and ages and races is because it has the ability for users to save
money, and that anything where something is free is more likely to draw people in.
In this screenshot it is demonstrating how users divert for their day to day life's and escape
from reality, by this they don’t talk about any of their life issues such as work.
10. Sources of Revenue.
• WhatsApp is available for users to download, WhatsApp is assessable on
devices such as IPhones, Androids, Blackberries, Windows phones and Nokia
phones.
• The app itself to download is free of charge, for most users. In some countries
the app to download costs around $1, so therefore with over 700 million
active users WhatsApp was creating a revenue of around 700 million per year.
WhatsApp sources of revenue come from Facebook. Facebook purchased
WhatsApp in February 2014 for around $19 billion, and as the demand of
users to have WhatsApp increased with more and more people downloading it
this meant that within nine months of Facebook buying WhatsApp, they
generated a revenue of $1,289,000.
• In October WhatsApp made nearly $16 million in revenue during the first half
of 2014 but lost $232 million during the same time period due to stock-related
expenses. During 2013 WhatsApp generated $10.2 million in revenues for the
year but likewise lost around $138 million, also from stock- related expenses.

11. Noam Chomsky, social media
“erodes normal social behavior” .- WhatsApp
• In my opinion I think that social media does erode normal social behavior because a lot of
people use social media to communicate with others and keep in touch, and up to date with
what their friends are up to. I also think that it does create social behavior because when
people are out with their friends they tend to be in groups and if their not communicating
verbally with each other then they are likely to communicating over social media.
• WhatsApp can erode normal social behavior of someone as WhatsApp is a site where users
can communication such as Facebook, Twitter although it it more like a texting format where
users can text and message each other for free no matter where they are. Due to it being a
free texting service WhatsApp is one of the places where online bullying can happen.
• Any online social media site can change how someone acts much like using WhatsApp
someone may be completely different in real life compared online and their texting. They
maybe become a ‘online bully’ even though they wouldn't bully someone face to face they
would rather do it online.
• WhatsApp takes online bullying seriously and ensures that once you download the app that
they make sure your 16 and over to use the app legally, bullying can take many forms whether
it is between two people, or abusive group chats are now becoming more familiar.
http://www.bullying.co.uk/cyberbullying/what-to-do-if-
you-re-being-bullied-on-a-social-network/
12. Legal and Ethical Issues.
• WhatsApp has many legal and ethical issues they have to take into consideration and ensure
that they follow by.
• WhatsApp has been founded guilty of breaching privacy laws because it forces users to grant
access to their entire contacts, it contains all the information, which user may not want to be
used.
• Social Affects of WhatsApp:
Negative Affects:
There is a negative affect behind WhatsApp by this users can only use the app if the other person
has downloaded it to their phone, as well as this they can only send messages to people if they
have internet connection, this could be a negative affect as people may get worried that they
aren’t able to stay in connection with users because of the lack of internet.
WhatsApp can be an unwelcome distraction to people, by this teenagers are constantly on their
phone as they want to ensure that they stay up to date with their friends and their conversations,
therefore this results in people not being able to concentrate on day to day tasks.
WhatsApp also has the negative affect of cyber bulling, as well as your are able to create groups
on WhatsApp this could be a trigger to bully people on a group of a number of people.
Positive Affects:
Forming a Community: WhatsApp is able to form a community with people, as users are able to
connect with other(if they have the app) they can also create WhatsApp groups with each other
where they can talk to multiply people.
WhatsApp also creates a seamless operation with users, WhatsApp has lots of features such as
uploading of the files including the images and videos. Once the application is installed it can
automatically save images which users send to you, and these will save automatically to your
camera roll although users can change this by going on to settings.
13. Legal and Ethical Issues.
• WhatApp has had security flaws since its launch back in early 2012, with one hacker
releasing a Windows tool to show how easy it is to change users statuses. There has been a
latest find with even non-users of the app being drawn into privacy data dispute with the
app. The International law clearly states that ‘Data should only be kept "for so long as it is
required for the fulfilment of an identification purpose". "This lack of choice contravenes
privacy law," said Jacob Kohnstamm, chairman of the Dutch Data Protection Authority, in
a statement. "Both users and non-users should have control over their personal data and
users must be able to freely decide what contact details they wish to share with
WhatsApp.“
• As WhatsApp was brought by Facebook around 2 years ago for $16 billion dollars,
Facebook where gathering information via WhatsApp and sharing this on Facebook.
• This links in with the Data Protection Act (1998) as the app is breaching the laws made by
the Act, as WhatsApp have not followed the rules of the Date Protection Act they could be
fined £500,000. Facebook was also told to delete all data, including phone numbers,
already forwarded by WhatsApp. The company has said it will appeal against both orders.
There was a policy change of the app and users were given 30 days to opt in or out of the
changes, or face not being able to access the app.

14. Twitter.
Twitter is an online news and social networking service where users post and read short 140-
character messages called "tweets". Registered users can post and read tweets, but those
who are unregistered can only read them.
Twitter users are able to broadcast tweets and follow other users, via multiple platforms and
devices. You are able to tweet and respond to certain tweets and air your views.
Unlike Facebook, LinkedIn where members have to approve social connections between
each other, anyone can follow you on twitter unless you make your twitter private this is
where your tweets are protected and none can view them without them requesting to follow
you.
Users are able to use emoji's on twitter as well as using hashtags on certain subjects.
Twitter was first founded in March 2006 in San Francisco, California.
Over the years more tweets have been posted every day, there are around 6000 tweets
tweeted per second and around 500 million tweets everyday, therefore this totals up to
around 200 billion tweets in a year.
This proves Twitter is extremely popular, and increasing in grow.Secondaly, 22.6% Twitter
users are under 25, and 21.5% are ages 25-34.
https://www.lifewire.com/history-of-twitter-3288854
15. The Purpose of Twitter.
• The purpose of Twitter is to allow others to communicate with others. Twitter also
allows people to air their views on subjects with others as well as keeping up to date
with what is happening in the world, whether that is news related or celebrity and
gossip related.
• People are allowed to follow other peoples Twitter accounts which include a mixture of
friends accounts and celebrities which they like, and like to follow to keep up to date
with what they are doing.
Twitter Slogan:
The denotation of Twitters Slogan is “Yours to Discover”.
The use of this verbal code demonstrates to users of the app and people who don’t have
the app that Twitter is such a large social media site that you are able to discover anything
on there that you want. This gives users a sense of freedom, linking into the theory of Katz
where users would ‘divert’ from everyday life and escape from reality to discover new
topics/gossip or news.
Although there could be a negative side of the verbal code, as people who are too young to
have Twitter are now able to access it a lot more easily which therefore could result in the
finding something inappropriate, or this could also result in cyber bullying increasing.
16. Twitter’s Content.
• The types of content which is seen on Twitter are important subjects like
news related, Celebrity related which allows users to stay connected with
what is happening in the world instead of watching the news. Or users will
just genially to keep in contact with friends which allows users to stay
connected with what is happening in the world instead of watching the
news.
• They will also use Twitter to stay up to date with big news headlines as
they would go there for recency and instant news.
• Other content includes things like celebrity statuses and what is going on
in their lives, which could prove an interest to some as they may aspire to
be like them.
• Users are able to like certain posts, or retweet them which pulls up the
tweet and puts it onto their twitter profile, and therefore means that
anyone following them will see this.
• The use of hashtags are important as it can send a direct link to the users,
as is another means of staying connected with events.
17. Twitter Analyzed.
This button, allows users to create a ‘tweet’ in this
they can type whatever they want as well as
tagging any user although they have a character
limit of 140 characters. Users can also tweet out
images, videos or gifs to those who they follow.
Here is the users basic timeline, this is where all the
tweets from people, and pages will come up that
they follow as well as this tweets will come up
which the people that they are following have
specifically retweeted.
Navigation Bar: this is the navigation bar, on here is
the home button, which users will click on to get
themselves back to the homepage, they will then
also be able to click on the ‘notification’ button this
is where if someone has tagged them in a tweet it
will pop up here, as well if someone has followed
them, liked a tweet or image or retweeted it.
Here is the message tab this is where all the users messages will be
stored, these messages are private and only the user can see them.
Finally, there is also a ‘me’ button, this is where by clicking on this
will take you straight to your profile page, where you profile image
will be displayed and your tweets, through the profile page users are
able to access the ‘settings’ section and edit their twitter, such as
change password, make their twitter protected and more.
18. Target User/Membership.
• The main users of Twitter tend to be younger people like teenagers this is because
some could say Twitter is too technical and that people of an older generation
wouldn’t understand how to use Twitter.
• Young people use Twitter to stay up to date with any gossip which is happening. They
would also use Twitter as they may follow celebrities which they take an interest in.
• Although, Twitter is used by people of a high status such as the Prime Minister has
the Twitter, as well as TV programmes have their own twitter such as BBC News
people who aren't teenagers may therefore have a twitter account to air their views
politically.
• There is around 319 million active monthly users.
Theories:
Twitter users can be from A-E when it comes to the socio-economic needs, however when
it comes to the demographics they are more likely to be in category E because Twitter is
mainly used by teenagers/young people who are more likely to be students. The reason
for people in these categories using Twitter is so that you are able to keep up with general
news(A-C1) or keep up to date with celebrity gossip(C2-E).
When it comes to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Twitter users are more likely to ‘Explorers’
as they are driven by change in the media industry, as well as this they could be aspires as
they seek change.
Lastly, when it comes to Katz theory Twitter users would come under that category be
“diversion” this is because they would go on Twitter to escape from reality and go on
there to escape any day-to-day troubles.
Psychographics:
When it comes to psychographics typically the users of Twitter would fit into the category
‘Aspires’ this is because the users of Twitter are typically under people who are orientated
to their image and their appearance and their persona.

twitter-users/
19. Sources of Revenue.
• Twitter is a free app to download on the App Store or another mobile
store. Twitter has around 232 million monthly users, although as the app
itself is free to download, Twitter are making an profit somewhere.
• Twitter changed the way posts are displayed in the timeline feed, allowing
photos and video previews to appear without needing to click on a link - a
move some analysts say will help advertisers to better show off their
content.
• Twitter tends to charge its advertisers according to the amount of
interaction their content generates.
• A budget is usually set at the start of the campaign and then the
advertiser pays per click or per retweet
• Twitter also have a source of revenue from advertising products, As of
2013, more than 65% of Twitter's advertising revenue was generated from
mobile devices.
• More than 75% of Twitter users accessed the site from their mobile phone
during that same time period.

20. Noam Chomsky, social media
“erodes normal social behavior” .-
Twitter.
• In my opinion I think that social media does erode normal social behavior
because a lot of people use social media to communicate with others and keep
in touch, and up to date with what their friends are up to. I also think that it
does create social behavior because when people are out with their friends
they tend to be in groups and if their not communicating verbally with each
other then they are likely to communicating over social media.
• I think that Twitter can erode normal, social behavior in a person as they might
act different on a social media site compared to real life when it comes to face
to face communication.
• Twitter may result in them putting on some sort of persona which isn’t like
their normal self, which falls into how they behave socially online and not
online.
• Twitter can distract users from their day to to day life as they become to
infatuated with keeping up to date with the latest gossip whether that it with
friends or follow a popular celebrity that they admire.
• Social media is not only about connection, but about disconnection. Peoples
constant connectivity may lead us to social media addiction, which could result
in missing our real life moments, for those of a digital representation.
http://wersm.com/do-social-media-change-our-behaviors/
21. Legal and Ethical Issues.
• Twitter has to follow a set amount of rules, to ensure that they are breeching any legal and ethical
issues when it comes to Twitter itself.
• Issues such as someone posting a picture of someone which could be seen as inappropriate or
offensive not only to that person but others isn't allowed, as well as if someone is using n image of
someone without their consent this is a breach of the rules, and therefore Twitter have to deal with
this by the person reporting the Twitter account that uploaded the image or the image itself therefore
this is then taken in hand and Twitter contact that person and ask them to remove it or in a serious
case they remove it themselves.
• When it comes to ethical issues, everyone is entitled to freedom of speak although, if this soon
becomes rude and uses inappropriate language twitter make take action and get involved.
Positives of Twitter:
• One positive factor of Twitter is its simplicity, once you are signed up to Twitter which is a very quick
and easy process it is very easy to use from there on.
• Celebrities talk like "real" people without agents/producers/editors getting in the way. And the best
Tweeting stars actually interact with their audience.
• It is a good way to keep up to date with current affairs- or news users are able to go on Twitter if their
out and about to keep up to date with big stories in the news- which links into ‘Galtung and Ruge’s’ list
of news values such as Negativity.
Negatives of Twitter:
• It links in with the habit of people having short attention spans, as users want to keep up with everyday
life and gossip which diverts them from their day to day life.
• Some people may not like Twitter because it has a character limit of 140 characters which may anger
some people, as they may not be able to get their point across within a 140 limit.
• The increase of ‘fake celebrity’ account – could anger some fans.
• Its hard to maintain a professional image- this could affect how you act on Twitter to actual life, doing
this could create an bad image for you which would reflect on your job.
• Twitter can become very addictive.
• Lastly, there is always a risk of cyber bullying- making fake accounts ‘ trolling’ other users.
22. Legal and Ethical Issues
• Twitter is a very easy site to use, some of the disadvantages would
be that some may find the 140 character limit too restricting like
any other social media sites.
• Additionally, Twitter is similar to other social media sites, this is
where people can experience “cyber bullying”, Twitter is based
around the idea of tweeting expressing your views rather than
tweeting visual content, compared to Facebook which is a mixture
of everything.
• Twitter is well-known for celebrities having “twitter feuds” or just
generally them commenting on other. An example of this was when
actor “Chris Rock” just days after being annoced the host of the
Oscars, made a comment about Lamar Odom and Khloe
Kardashians relationship, the post he made people found it every
controversial as it wasn’t long after Lamar Odom was found
unconscious at a brothel, due to an overdose, this was a big media
issue as fans of Khloe’s and Lamar took to Twitter to air their view
as it has been a long process for Lamar to recover from the incident.
• This shows the celebrities can impact Twitter and give it an negative
side which doesn't’t help the younger audience who aspire to be
like certain celebrities.
• Although, on Chris’s behalf this could be a defamation as Chris Rock
may not have known the full extent of the issue, and may have only
heard the story through articles being “sensationalized”
23. Legal and Ethical Issues.
• Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has been accused of breaching patient confidentiality by
tweeting a photo to 70,000 Twitter follows from a recent hospital visit. Jeremy came under
fire as he tweeted an image of himself with medics at University Collage Hospital in London,
which behind captured a image listing patients on the ward in the background.
• Plenty of people took to Twitter to air their view of the image/tweet. Users wrote things such
as ‘if I tweeted a photo with patient information to over 70,000 people I would deserve to
lose my job as a NHS worker’.
• This article links in with the Data Protection Act, as Jeremy Hunt tweeted out personal
information, although it wasn’t done deliberately it was a breach of confidentially and that
Twitter states not to share anyone's information without their consent.

24. Snapchat.
Snapchat is an popular mobile app that allows you to send videos and pictures, both of
which will self destruct after a few seconds of a person viewing them. Snapchat is also a
fun messaging app. You can take a photo or a video with it, then add a caption or doodle
or lens graphic over top, and send it to a friend.
Snapchat was created by Evan Spiegell, Bobby Murphy and Reggie Brown.Snapchats
initial release date was September 2011.
Snapchat evolved into a mix of private messaging and public content, including brand
networks, publications and live events such as sports and music. according to survey
studies conducted in March 2016, the personal oriented messaging was still being
accessed by users more than the publicly offered content that was being presented. 71%
of users surveyed said that they preferred the app for its chat, messaging, and imaging
services, versus 5% who almost exclusively chose the various events, published features,
and media content on a daily basis.
25. The Purpose Of Snapchat.
• Snapchat is also a fun messaging app. You can
take a photo or a video with it, then add a
caption or doodle or lens graphic over top, and
send it to a friend. Alternatively, you can add it to
your story, once it has been added to your story it
will stay on their for 24 hours, and you are able to
build up your story with a collection of videos or
pictures over a time peroid.You are able to show
your story to everyone or just the people that
follow you on snapchat.
26. Snapchat’s Content.
• Snapchat has features such as the camera
button which allows you to take pictures,
you are also able to create 10 second video
by holding down the camera button. You are
also able to apply filters on top of your
snapchat or video once you have created it.
• Due to a recent update on snapchat you are
now able to apply funny filters to your
snapchats by holding down on your face and
then choosing the filter then snapping the
picture.
• Snapchat also has geographical tags where
it links to your location, and you are able to
put on your snapchat where your location is.
27. Snapchat Analyzed.
Here is where all the users ‘friends’ snap
chat stories will be shown these stories
last for 10 seconds only, and will
disappear within 24 hours of uploading
them to their story.
Here is the new discover feature on
snapchat, users are able to look at other
peoples stories which have uploaded
them to the specific discover story, and
these can be viewed from anyone around
the world, even if your not friends with
them on snapchat.
Here is the camera, where people can click
back onto their camera, and take a snap and
send it to whoever on their friends list or
upload it to their story.
28. Target User/Membership.
• The main target user for Snapchat is young teenagers, this is because Snapchat is a fun
app where people are able to snapchat funny pictures, draw on pictures with the pen
tool and add filters and send them to their friends.
• Although, snapchat is more popular with the younger generation, it is now becoming
more popular with the older generation this is due to the new animated filters which
you can apply over the top of pictures.
Snapchat users can be from A-E when it comes to the socio-economic needs, however
when it comes to the demographics they are more likely to be in category E because
Snapchat is mainly used by teenagers/young people who are more likely to be students.
The reason for people in these categories using Snapchat is so that you are able to keep up
with general news(A-C1) or keep up to date with celebrity gossip(C2-E).They would also use
Snapchat, to show others what they are doing.
When it comes to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Snap chat users are more likely to Explorers
as they are driven by change in the media industry, as well as this they could be aspires as
they seek change.
Lastly, when it comes to Katz theory Snapchat users would come under the catergory
“diversion” this is because they would go on Twitter to escape from reality and go on there
to escape any day-to-day troubles.
29. Sources of Revenue.
• Snapchat the app is free to download on devices such as IPhone, Android
phones, ect.As the app itself is free to download this means that snapchat
aren’t gaining and revenue or an income when people download it, and
with snapchat now being so popular and the majority of young people
have it they aren't gaining and profit, therefore Snapchats sources of
revenue come from “sponsored lenses” by this in was just launched in
October.
• The new lenses feature allows users to take a picture or video of
themselves and add different animated filters to the shot. They also include
other brands such as Pepsi and Rimmel Make-up as well as promoting new
films which have just been released.
• With the increase in people downloading and using Snapchat, this creates
and increase in demand for the creators of Snapchat as they want to make
sure that users stay interested in the app as much as they can therefore,
releasing new filters and features.
• Snapchat also creates a revenue with other companies on the ‘discover’
part of snapchat this is where snapchat partners up with companies such
as ‘Sky News’ and the ‘Daily Mail’. In this snapchat will be partnered up
with these brands, and snapchat will ask for a cost from these companies
as they are advertising and promoting their brands.
30. Noam Chomsky, social media
“erodes normal social behavior” .-Snapchat.
• In my opinion I think that social media does erode normal social behavior
because a lot of people use social media to communicate with others and
keep in touch, and up to date with what their friends are up to. I also think
that it does create social behavior because when people are out with their
friends they tend to be in groups and if their not communicating verbally
with each other then they are likely to communicating over social media.
• I think that Snap Chat can ‘erode normal social behavior’ because people
may act different on SnapChat compared to in real life, with face-to-face
communication.
• SnapChat can affect ones social behavior by instead of texting, emailing or
calling, or even speaking face to face users are now becoming more and
more attracted to SnapChat and are using 10 seconds pictures or videos as
a way of communicating with one another.

31. Legal and Ethical Issue.
Negative and Positive Factors of SnapChat:
Legal and ethical issues also apply to Snapchat, users should
use Snapchat in the correct way, and not abuse Snapchat.
Some users say that Snapchat should remove the screenshot
feature as people should be aware of what is being sent and
said on Snapchat.
Snapchat has also Made it easier for cyber stalkers to send
pictures of people without their consent, it is now a lot
easier for these cyber bullies to send embarrassing pictures
of others.
There also is an element of breaching privacy of some
people as pictures are stored on the receivers' phones and
on the app servers. Receiver can screenshot the snap.
Care about privacy of users and employes' jobs
Be self-conscious about the nature of the pictures users send
Care about their kids and the people their kids might bully or
stalk.
32. Legal and Ethical Issues.
Snapchat on Wednesday released a new update for
its app and, with it, a new privacy policy that
dramatically changes what the social network can do
with the images users post. First launched in 2011,
the social networking app became popular among
young people in particular for its “disappearing”
photo messages that can’t be viewed again once they
have been opened. But an update to the Snapchat
Terms of Service indicates that Snapchat has the
rights to reproduce, modify and republish your
photos and save those photos to Snapchat’s servers,
specifically in relation to the ‘Live Story’ feature.
Users can now hold down on the Snapchat a reply it,
for another 10 seconds.
Users don’t like that fact that they have changed the
terms of service and privacy policy of the app and
that users feel that more of their personal data, is
now more easy to be accessed by others this has
resulted in users deleting their Snap Chat account.

privacy-policy-has-left-users-outraged-2015-10-29
33. Data Protection Act(1998).
• The Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) is a United Kingdom Act of Parliament
which defines the law on the processing of data on identifiable living
people and is the main piece of legislation that governs the data
protection.
• Social media products need to confirm within the legislations of the Data
Protection Act 1998.Although, when you process any personal information
the Data Protection Act will not apply. This is evident in section 36 of the
act where it states that “personal data processed by an individual only for
the purpose of that individual or their family, the act doesn’t apply to
them in this case”.
• Although this changes if you are an organization section 36 cannot be used
this is because they have responsibilities under the Data Protection Act
which are “if they post personal data on their website or anyone else's,
and that if they run a website which includes third parties personal
information where people are able to comment about people, this
therefore is apart of the Data Protection Act and cannot be done.
34. Data Protection Act(1998) (continued).
• When it comes to Twitter, if you are a Twitter users
and you live in the United States then your Twitter
will be controlled by them, and will control all your
information but if you live outside the United States
then your information isn't controlled and comes
under the “Twitter international Company”.
• In Twitters privacy policy your name and your
username will be used in your profile, although users
have the decision whether or not they want to
include their phone number onto their Twitter.
• Although, this is different when it comes to
WhatsApp because to have WhatsApp you have to
include personal information to have the app running
such as your name and phone number, although
users should be aware that including your number
will be protected as other can only see your number
if they have you as a contact.
35. Noam Chomsky, social media
“erodes normal social behavior” .
Does social media “Erodes normal social behavior” .
• In my opinion I think that social media does erode normal social behavior because a lot of
people use social media to communicate with others and keep in touch, and up to date with
what their friends are up to. I also think that it does create social behavior because when
people are out with their friends they tend to be in groups and if their not communicating
verbally with each other then they are likely to communicating over social media. Through
Noam Chomsky’s research is has gathered information that social media is a distraction for
some people especially those of the younger generation, this is because teenagers tend to
spend time on their phone with Snapchat, Twitter rather than doing school work.
36. Social Affects.
Positives. Convergence. Negatives/Dangers.
Twitter. • You can air your views, with
the tweeting section where
you can tweet up to an 140
character limit.
• It is easy to see what is
trending worldwide, and
keep up to date with news
around the world. This can
be done through hashtags.
• Twitter allows people
access a lot of different
types of entertainment.
Such as tweets,
videos/pictures, memes
and other links to other
websites.(jenkins-2006
because there is so much
freedom with what you
can do.
• One of the negative factors of
twitter is that “trends” begin to
happen and people start to
follow them, such as the
#kyliejennerlipchallenge.This is
where many fans made their lips
swell so that they would look
like hers although Kylie had
actually had lip fillers done to
achieve this. This affected many
peoples mouths as they became
badly bruised and people did this
to look like her, as they saw her
as an idol.

lip-plumping-science/
Snapchat. Snapchat is a new social media
platform where people can send
10 second videos or photos to
each other. However you are
still able to have the private
messaging section.
People like the feature that
“snaps” don’t last for that long
and can choose how long they
want them to last for.
Snapchat is now popular as
you are able to have filters,
and effects has proven to be
very popular. This gives
everyone and enjoyable
experience (Jenkins-2006)
because there hasn’t been
anything like this before, and
has proven to be a success
and entertaining.
Snapchat is popular with everyone
all across the world, and this
therefore means that people can
be subjected to send inappropriate
“snaps". Unfortunately some
people will screenshot them so
that they last for longer, and this
means they could then send them
across to different groups of
friends.
37. Social Affects.
WhatsApp
Negative Affects. Convergence. Positive Affects .
• WhatsApp could trigger
cyber bullying, by making
group chats and bullying
someone or someone could
feel left out if they weren’t
involved in one of the group
chats.
WhatsApp allows users to stay
in contact with their friends, of
those who have the app
downloaded to their phones.
Cost effective: Transmitting
messages through WhatsApp is
free, unlike the SMS messages.
Mobile services providers are
now offering internet packs to
invoke the WhatsApp
application. Wherever the
internet connection is
accessible, you can easily use
the social media app. Without
spending money, one can place
calls to friends located across
the globe.
• An unwelcome distraction:
WhatsApp is known to
cause addiction to the teens
as they continue to check
the phone for messages. As
a result, people are not able
to focus on important tasks.
• The continuous receiving of
jokes and trolls can drive
people insane and makes
them crazy
• Forming a community:
Information about the
events can be shared by
creating a group of like-
minded friends on
WhatsApp. It is the fastest
way to disseminate facts
related to a particular topic.
Moreover, you can also
share the jokes and memes
to bring smiles to your
friends.
38. Yik Yak.
• The social media product called Yik Yak
allows readers to interact with each other
anonymously.
• Due to this site allowing people to interact
anonymously this proves that it may
cause ‘eroding normal social
behavior’(Noam Chomsky) this is due to
users behaving and acting differently on
social media compared to in person face
to face interaction.
• Users are anonymous on Yik Yak which
could mean that these users are not
acting normal because none know who is
posting the comments on the site. Due to
users being anonymous this can cause
“trolling’ on the site.
• http://www.hercampus.com/school/conn
-coll/yik-yak-pros-and-cons
39. Yik Yak
• The Site Yik Yak conveys a “shamelessness”
(Andrew Keen-2011) within users because
there isn't anyway of knowing who is posting
these comments, therefore as people wont
know they think they are able to post whatever
they want and have no shame in doing it as
people won’t find out its them.
• This is a negative feature of the site because
this means that, because they feel that if they
aren't getting caught resulting in consequences
then this means that it is seems okay to do this.
• Therefore resulting in hurting someone's
feelings.
• http://www.hercampus.com/school/conn-
coll/yik-yak-pros-and-cons
41. Commercial Uses-Viral Marketing.
• When it comes to viral marketing
social media sites want to in sure that
they get their name out there. One
way of doing this is advertising via an
advert, images or promoting their site
on their own social media page.
• Twitter have done this by creating an
TV Advert of what twitter is and what
its content involves.
• The main objective is to demonstrate
to their audience about Twitter as
well as showing other the side of
Twitter they may not see, as
stereotypically Twitter is known for
celebrities feuds and other things.
• This advert which has been seen on TV as well
as Twitter’s Official YouTube page, demonstrates
big things which have happen on Twitter and
which have now gone viral because of it first
appearing on Twitter such as
@dancingmanfound this is where people took
photos of a man having fun enjoying himself,
and tweeted the image of him laughing at him,
and giving him abuse over twitter lots of people
saw this as unfair, and said that everyone should
be able to have fun no matter their size or
shape. These images of the man went viral and
were seen by celebrities such as “Pharell
Williams’

42. Commercial Uses-Viral Marketing- Snap Chat.
• When it comes to viral marketing social media sites want to in sure that they get
their name out there. One way of doing this is advertising via an advert, images
or promoting their site on their own social media page.
• SnapChat is a good way of marketing, such as clothing stores now have their own
snapChat accounts which users are able to follow this is a positive way of
advertising and marketing their brand.
• SnapChat have built up campaigns to increase their audience, such as campaigns
like ‘Sour Patch Kids’, ‘Calvin Klein’ and more.
• One successful campaign was one to do with the American Sporting celebration
‘The Super Bowl’. Super Bowl Sunday is America’s biggest day of the year
for advertising, which means every single media channel
is flooded with brand. In such a noisy environment, Audi
decided Snapchat was the key to getting heard.
Audi partnered with Huge to run a campaign around
people’s second-screen viewing habits when watching
television. Its survey found that 59% of 2013 Superbowl
viewers used their mobile devices during the game.
They also included fun filters whilst the super bowl was
on.
43. Commercial Uses- Viral Marketing-
WhatsApp.
• WhatsApp doesn't’t advertise products with the app, and that they
explain this in their blog as to why they don’t advertise.
• The reason for this is because WhatsApp feel that in advertising
within their app will disrupt the aesthetics of the product itself.
• WhatsApp then went on to further explain that there is no demand
for adverts from users, and that if there was then they could
interrupt then from using the app.For example if a user is in the
middle of an important conversation and then an advert appears
across their screen, this is going to break up the users conversation
and that if this would to continue to happen this could become very
annoying to the user.
• Which in my opinion WhatsApp take great care of their users and
they don’t want to turn there users away from their app.

45. Social Media Reviews.Twitter:
As you can see via my evidence, here are
screenshots of what people think of twitter you
have one really good review where someone has
given Twitter a 5 star rating briefly saying that
Twitter works perfectly for them and that they use
Twitter on a daily basis.
Although, there are some bad reviews
about Twitter such as some people said
that they’ve been a member of Twitter for
a few years and found that the members
of staff who control Twitter aren't aware
of those who are getting harassed an that
this should be taken note of.
There is a similar theme when it comes to
good reviews such as they like the design
of Twitter and that they like it more than
Facebook because Facebook has too many
Ads.
https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.twitter.com
46. Social Media Reviews- Snap
Chat. Here are some of the reviews given by users
which have given their opinion on SnapChat.
It was asked by users what people think the
right age is for people to use SnapChat parents
have said that age 15+ is the right age to be
using SnapChat, although there is a controversy
with this as children say that they think it is
acceptable to have SnapChat from age 12 +
Here are some reviews on snap chat people have said that they like the app as it allows then
to keep in touch with their friends in real time, as they can simply send a snap chat in real
time to their friends.
Although there is a negative affect of snap chat and are negative reviews of it, that it isn’t
private this means that anyone can add you and one the setting you can change it to when
everyone even people your not friends with can view your story which could be dangerous to
some people as if you put up any personal information on your snap chat story.
47. Social Media Reviews- WhatsApp.
Here are some of the users reviews and their thoughts about WhatsApp, users said
that the set up of WhatsApp was fairly easy and that they rated this 7/10.
They also began rating factors such as the features giving them a 9/10, they also
rated the performance of WhatsApp a 9/10.So by these rates WhatsApp got an
overall rating of 8.3 out of 10 which demonstrates that WhatsApp is a popular app
with its users and they enjoy the app.
Although, with WhatsApp having
plenty of positive reviews, there are
also negative reviews as WhatsApp
isn’t for everyone.
48. “the kinds of entertainment experiences they want” (Jenkins – 2006) – The LADBible
• An example of Jenkins-2006 is the LADBible
which is on Facebook this is where people
would go and which the LADBible’s posts as
they are funny.
• The LAD Bible is a Facebook page that post
humorous and relatable photos, videos and
articles aimed at young male adults, teenagers
and has a stereotype that is it aimed at
masculine men labelled “lads” .
• The LADBible has 17,673,792 people who have
liked their Facebook page. A reason why this
page is so popular is that there are many
relatable posts, that are similar to peoples day
to day lives.
• This is a form of viral marketing because other
users can share posts, including posts from the
LADBible which is spreading the business and
increasing its popularity and their image.
50. Survey Monkey Analysis-Question 1.
Question 1 :
In this question as you can see I asked what
age bracket people who answered by survey
fell into, by the results 100% of people I
asked fell into the group 16-18 years, this
shows how the majority of people who use
social media are teenagers.
51. Survey Monkey Analysis- Question 2.
Questions 2:
Here in this question I asked what gender
people were and as you can see around
55% of people who answered the surveys
were “males” and around 45% of people
were “females". This demonstrates how
even though they are similar when it
comes to how who uses social media the
most although, they are similar this is
because “males” would be interested in
keeping up to date with social media such
as football, sport ect.
Where as females would be more
interested in keeping up to date with
celebrities as well as keeping in touch with
friends.
52. Survey Monkey Analysis-Question 3.
Question 3:
Here I asked people if they
participate in any form of social
media, and the results conveyed
that 100% of people I asked use
some form of social media. This
demonstrates how popular social
media is with the younger
generation and that it continues
to grow and become more
popular.
53. Survey Monkey Analysis-Question 4.
Question 4:
Here is this question I asked
readers which social media site
they used the most, and Snap
chat and Instagram were the most
popular with 25% of people who
use it.As well as this 15% of
people use Facebook, and 15% of
people use Twitter.
Through my analysis I think snap
chat and instragram the most
popular due to them being the
most new social media platforms,
and now today generally the
people who use Facebook now
are people of an older generation
such as people parents, as
Facebook is one social media site
which parents would be able to
use and isn’t too confusing
54. Survey Monkey Analysis- Question 5.
Question 5:
In this question I asked readers
how often do you go on these
social media sites. As you can see
that the majority of people said
that they go on some sort of
social media platform everyday,
with around 72% saying this. This
conveys how popular social
media is today and that people
almost feel the need to go on it
everyday to keep up to date with
things.
55. Survey Monkey Analysis-Question 6.
Question 6:
As you can see from
this screenshot I asked
people what they like
about social media, as
there was such a high
percentage of people
who use it I wanted to
know the reasons
behind it.The
responses I got where
things like “to be able
to communicate with
others” “ contains
news based content
which relates to things
like sports, news,
celebrities”
56. Survey Monkey Analysis-Question 7.
Question 7:
In this question I
asked people what
they don’t like about
social media, and I got
a response such as
there is a possibility
that your accounts
aren't as private as
you think they are.
People also said that it
causes a lot of drama
such as celebrity
fueds.Other reasons
like “innoproiate
people”.
57. Survey Monkey Analysis-Question 8.
Question 8:
In this question I asked
people what their
favourite social media site
was and why, many
people said that they liked
“snapchat” the most as it
has fun effects on it such
as “face swap”, although
other people said they
liked Instagram as you are
able to post pictures and
edit them to how you
want to. As well as this
people said that they are
able to follow what their
friends are doing as well
as their favourite
celebrities.

61. First Idea Purpose.
• My first idea is based on Twitter and WhatsApp.
My social media app is going to allow users to be
able to text and communicate with other on
personal chat groups as well as send each other
images or videos, as well as this, which is where I
am linking Twitter into it this is where users are
going to be able to tweet their views about things
or retweet and favorite certain Tweets and this will
be visible on peoples timelines.
62. Purpose.
Katz Theory:
• They would be “diversion” this is because they would use my social media
site, so that they are able to escape from reality, and day to day life.
Maslow Theory:
• When it comes to Maslow they would be “social Climbers” this is because
they are driven by the change in social media and what goes on in the
social media world, and that they are attracted to keep up with it, they are
also driven to keeping up with gossip and what is going on in peoples lives
such as being “materialistic”.
Socio-Economic:
• When it comes to the socio-economics' my target they would fit into the
category A-E when it comes to the socio-economic needs, however when
it comes to the demographics they are more likely to be in category E
because my target audience will likely teenagers and young people
therefore they are likely going to use social media as a form of
communications to keep up to date with others.

64. Colour Scheme and Font Styles-First Idea.
As I have taken inspiration from two social media sites Twitter and WhatsApp I have decided
to have my colour scheme based around their particular colours.
The colours I will be using are, Light Blue for the main parts of the social media site, as well
as using White within the Logo on the App and for the chat background, which people will
be able to customize themselves. I will also be using black for the font colour and the writing
within the logo and this will stand out against the bright colours.
I decided to take inspiration from the App Twitter, as I liked the colour scheme they have, as
well as this I chose the colour blue as Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body. It
slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect. Blue is strongly associated with
tranquility and calmness. In heraldry, blue is used to symbolize piety and sincerity.
I also decided to take inspiration from WhatsApp as it was one social media site which I was
really interested in and use a lot myself.
65. Font Ideas-First Idea.
Here are my font style ideas, I
have decided to go with simple
font ideas even though I want my
app to be professional I want then
main focus to be the content.
I have decided to go with the first
font style this is because it is
professional looking I have chosen
this font as it is bold, and
therefore will stand out against
my color scheme, as the colors I
am using are simple and elegant
therefore this works well with the
professional look that my house
colors give off.
66. Format and Style
• Homepage:
This is going to be where the newsfeed will be as well, seeing the drop down sections
such as “settings” “inbox” ect.This also is going to be where it will come up with
“suggested people” to follow will be.
• Profile page:
This is going to be where your profile page is this is where it will be a feed of what
you have posted as well as anything you have shared on your profile.. This is also
going to be where it will show you who you are following and who is following you.
• Friends:
You are able to see your friends by clicking onto your “profile page” and click on the
“followers” which will be followed by a number depending on who is following you.
This will then show you who is following you as well as if you are following them
which will be shown via a small button.
• Settings:
This is accessed via a button on the homepage, this is where it will show the Data
Protection Act and any terms and conditions regarding the app itself, this is also
where you are able to edit your profile such as changing your email or your password.
• Inbox:
This is where you are able to message people privately and this is where your will
have a list of your conversations which will stay there as long as you delete them
yourself.
67. Copyright Information.
• The copyright information for my social media app will be put in the
settings section of my app.This will allow the reader to read the list
of terms and conditions regarding the app.Within the copyright
information it will also list what my app with show and wont show
regarding personal information, I will also have evidence that my
app is registered trademark which is copyright protected.
• The copyright information will go in the settings page this is
because not all users will be interested in the copyright section such
as teenagers they would more interested in the app itself, therefore
it wont distract users from the content of the app.Although,for
those who are interested in the copyright information I will be
putting it in the “settings” as it is easy to locate and this means the
user wont have to browse through every page and link to find the
copyright information.
68. Competitors.
• My App will compete with other social
media platforms likeWhatsApp, and
Twitter. My app will be competing
against these two as my app has
aspects from both products as I took
inspiration from both of them, this is
because as Twitter and WhatsApp are
popular apps this may make them
interested in mine if they see similar
factors.
69. Slogan-First Idea-”Screen Share”.
• The Slogan for Screen Share is “Screening in
Believing". I have chosen this slogan because
this is the main aim of my social media site, I
want to insure that target audience stay in
contact with friends and family.
• The slogan is simply and easy for the user to
understand, it is also catchy therefore they are
more likely to remember it.
70. Synergy.
• There will be synergy with Facebook and Gmail,
this is where users will be able to sign up via
these apps.
• By having this synergy with Facebook and
Google Mail will make it easier for users to use
the site.
71. Sign Up Page Graphic Layout-First Idea.

74. Hand Drawn Draft-Homepage.
Slogan: My slogan
for my social media
site is going to go in
the top right hand
corner of the
homepage, I am
placing it here near
my name of my site
so that users will
remember my
catching slogan.
Navigation Bar: here is the navigation bar
of my site there are drop downs, such as
Home, Profile, Chats, Calls and Settings. I
have made my navigation bar simple and
easy to use.
Timeline: Here is the timeline of
the homepage, this is where
tweets and messages will be
displayed of your tweets and
people that you follow.
75. Hand Drawn Draft-Sign Up page.
Logo: Here is my
logo I have decided
to have my logo
quite big so that it
attracts users to my
site, also having it
big and bold ensures
that they remember
it.
Username and
password: This is where
users will logo in they
are able to create a new
account or above, there
is a second where they
are able to log in with
their Gmail account or
their Facebook account
if they have one.
Synergy with other social
media products: Here users
are able to sign up users other
social media products, doing
allows a quicker and easier
sign up process.
76. Technological
Convergence.
• My social media product is
showing technical convergence,
as it can be used on any apple
devices with IOS, the app is called
“screen share” so this means it Is
easy to search on the app store,
my app will also be available on
Iphones, Ipads, and Apple
Watches.
78. Social Hunt.
• The Social Hunt is a mobile app focused around a
community shopping experience. If you are looking for
a particular item and don’t know where to find it you
can start a Social Hunt by posting a picture and the
community will solve your Hunt by posting links to
stores where you can purchase it. If you’re an expert
shopper or love a challenge, you can help other people
looking for particular items. As well as this you are also
able to sell items on your page which may prove to be
a interest to some, and maybe what they are looking
for. Social Hunt is also a great place to browse and
discover new trends and stores.
79. Purpose and Target Audience.
• When it comes to the socio-economics' my target they would fit into the category A-
E when it comes to the socio-economic needs, however when it comes to the
demographics they are more likely to be in category E because my target audience
will likely teenagers and young people therefore they are likely going to use social
media as a form of communications to keep up to date with others. Although my
some of my target audience may fit into the category B which is for those who are
of a middle management such as teachers, fashion teachers, and those of a creative
mind who may use my app for some inspiration.
• As well as those who are not only interested in fashion, but other categories.
• They would be “diversion” this is because they would use my social media site, so
that they are able to escape from reality, and day to day life.
• When it comes to Maslow they would be “social Climbers” this is because they are
driven by the change in social media and what goes on in the social media world,
and that they are attracted to keep up with it, they are also driven to keeping up
with gossip and what is going on in peoples lives such as being “materialistic". They
would also be “social climbers” as they are driven by change such as the latest
fashion ideas.

86. Technological Convergence.
• My social media product is
showing technical convergence, as
it can be used on any apple
devices with IOS, the app is called
“Social Hunt” so this means it Is
easy to search on the app store,
my app will also be available on
IPhones, Ipads, and Apple
Watches.
87. Synergy.
• There will be synergy with Instagram this is where
users will be able to sign up via these apps.
• By having this synergy with Instagram will make it
easier for users to use the site, and provide them
with a quicker sign in process as they will be able
to use their same log in and password they would
use for Instagram, or if they don’t have Instagram
they will have to sign up manually.
My 2nd Idea using Synergy
with Instagram.
88. Font Ideas-Second Idea.
Here are samples of my font style
idea, I first decided to go with bold
fonts which would make my social
media’s name stand out there and
be recognized against other social
media sites, although I thought
they were too bold for the type of
app my app is going to be. I then
decided to go with the first font
which is ‘lauren-regular” I picked
this font over the others as it was
very simple, girly which reflects
my app(fashion,make-up ect). I
thought that this font would give
my social media site a girl touch.
89. Copyright Information.
• The copyright information for my social media app will be put in the
settings section of my app.This will allow the reader to read the list
of terms and conditions regarding the app.Within the copyright
information it will also list what my app with show and wont show
regarding personal information, I will also have evidence that my
app is registered trademark which is copyright protected.
• The copyright information will go in the settings page this is
because not all users will be interested in the copyright section such
as teenagers they would more interested in the app itself, therefore
it wont distract users from the content of the app.Although,for
those who are interested in the copyright information I will be
putting it in the “settings” as it is easy to locate and this means the
user wont have to browse through every page and link to find the
copyright information.
90. Competitors.
• My App will compete with other
social media platforms like Pinterest,
and BlogLovin’. My app will be
competing against these two as my
app has aspects from both products
as I took inspiration from both of
them, this is because as Pinterest
and BlogLovin’ are popular apps this
may make them interested in mine if
they see similar factors.
91. Slogan-Social Hunt.
• The slogan for my app “Social Hunt” is going to be
“hunt for the things you need". I decided to go
with this particular slogan as its catchy and
remembered, I also decided to go with this slogan
as it represents what my app is about.
94. Purpose.
• The Social Hunt is a mobile app focused
around a community shopping experience. If
you are looking for a particular item and
don’t know where to find it you can start a
Social Hunt by posting a picture and the
community will solve your Hunt by posting
links to stores where you can purchase it, as
well as this if someone sees an item you are
looking for an happen to be selling it this is
where you are able to purchase it.
• If you’re an expert shopper or love a
challenge, you can help other people looking
for particular items. As well as this you are
also able to sell items on your page which
may prove to be a interest to some, and
maybe what they are looking for. Social Hunt
is also a great place to browse and discover
new trends and stores.
95. Competitors-
• My App will compete with other social media
platforms like Pinterest, and BlogLovin’. My
app will be competing against these two as my
app has aspects from both products as I took
inspiration from both of them, this is because
as Pinterest and BlogLovin’ are popular apps
this may make them interested in mine if they
see similar factors.
96. Competitors-
• My app will also have although aspects from
different apps such as, as people are able to
sell and buy items within my app there are
other apps which do this as well which will
provide some competition to my app.
• These are apps like ‘depot’ which is an site
where people are able to buy, sell and share
items.
97. Content.
• Pages:
There are 6 main pages for Social Hunt, Sign Up, Home, Profile,
Trending, Latest and Search.
• Home Page:
On the home page there is going to be a news feed of things
that you are interested in, this information is gathered during
the sign up process where it tells you to click on as many
things as you want which you take an interest in such as
Fashion,Sport,Make Up, Electronics ect.This is then finalized
where the app will bring up anything to do with them items
and put them into categories, this is where users can then
gather information and idea or even buy items that they like.
There will also be a button in which users are able to post
pictures, or status which can get sent out this will be seen via
people who follow them or if there is a topic that many people
are talking about this will come under the trending section.
98. Content
• Profile:
This is going to be your own personal page, users will be able to
design their own page by choosing a color and theme, as well as
choosing their own profile picture, this is also where users will see
their own posts as well as seeing from the number under their profile
picture how many people they are following and who follows them.

things which are currently trending, as well as this, this shows users
what most people are hunting for.

112. Features-Navigation Bar.
The Navigation Bar I have designed has 5 main buttons,
Home, Sell, Inbox, Search and New Post. I have decided
to go with only 5 buttons as I want my social media site
to be easy to use, and to navigate around so the user
doesn't’t get confused on how to use it.
Sell Button:
The Sell button allows users to click on this and post an
picture and a 140 character limit, this is where users
are able to post items and a description of the item,
such a price, quality, post and packaging, description of
the item itself.
Inbox:
This is where users can check their inbox, they may get
an message from someone regarding an item they are
wishing to buy off you or maybe having a conversation
with you regarding an item you are wishing to buy from
the, all conversations are kept privately and the only
people who can view them are you and the other user
you are having the conversation with.
113. Navigation Bar-Continued.
Search:
This is the search bar button, this is where users
are able to search for a particular item they are
looking for or they can search other accounts.
New Post:
This is where they can write a post this is similar
to the ‘sell button’ although on the sell button, it
asks for more detail such as has a section for
more detail, such as has drop downs where you
enter your address, details of the products .So
therefore the post section is where you can write
about things such inspiration, wish lists, write
that you are looking for an certain item to see if
anyone is selling it.
114. Revenue.
• The Hunt which is my inspiration for my app, even though The
Hunt doesn’t advertise products clearly such as Facebook
does, where they actually display the products they advertise.
• The Hunt advertises shops and brands, this is what my app
will do as people are looking for an item or selling and item
they are advertising a particular brand in some way.
115. Pay Per Click Advertising.
• Social Hunt will include
Pay Per Click Advertising.
This is going to be where
when the user will load a
new page a pop up
advertisement will pop
up this is when the user
is able to click on the
advertisement, once the
user has clicked on the
advertisement it will take
them to a page regarding
that advertisement.
116. Pop Ups.
• A pop up is a third party advert that can spawn when prompted
by a website that the user has opened.
• There will be no pop ups on my social media site ‘Social Hunt'.
The reason for this is because pop ups can be annoying to some
users especially if they are continually popping up it can get
irritating to the user, and I don’t want them to annoy any of my
users as it may make them not want to use my site.
• As well as this if anything I want to promote my social media site,
and attract as many users as possible and not want them to be
attracted to any of site as this would prove to be a lot of
competition.
117. Legal and Ethical.
• My social media app will have to have moral and professional obligations that they
must follow to ensure that we don’t give out anyone’s personal data, this is
especially important when customers are putting in their bank details, address, ect
when coming to sell an item or purchase one.
• This also links into the Data Protection act where we are protecting everyone's
personal data.
Social hunts policies are intended to:
• Support laws and regulations
• Minimize risks to sellers Provide equal opportunity to all sellers
• Protect intellectual property rights
• Provide an enjoyable buying experience
• Support the values of the Social Hunt Community
• Potentially infringing items may be in violation of certain copyrights, trademarks,
or other intellectual property rights. So some items aren't allowed (even though
they may be legal) because they often violate copyright or trademark laws.
http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/policies.html
118. Legal and Ethical Issues.
Limitations on member-to-member contact:
• Social Hunt will only share your personal information with other Social
Hunt members in accordance with our Privacy Policy to facilitate
transactions and to enable members to contact you when you've
completed a transaction together.

119. IP
Registering a Trademark:
On the GOV.uk website you are able to register a trademark, by this you
must complete a survey of questions which will begin the process of
getting your trademark registered, this will protect your companies
IP(Intellecutal Property) by registering your company this will reduce the
likelihood of people stealing and information from your company as well
as copying information such as company logo ect.

trade-mark
120. Data Protection Act(1998).
• The Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) is a United Kingdom Act of Parliament
which defines the law on the processing of data on identifiable living
people and is the main piece of legislation that governs the data
protection.
• Social media products need to confirm within the legislations of the Data
Protection Act 1998.Although, when you process any personal information
the Data Protection Act will not apply. This is evident in section 36 of the
act where it states that “personal data processed by an individual only for
the purpose of that individual or their family, the act doesn’t apply to
them in this case”.
• Although this changes if you are an organization section 36 cannot be used
this is because they have responsibilities under the Data Protection Act
which are “if they post personal data on their website or anyone else's,
and that if they run a website which includes third parties personal
information where people are able to comment about people, this
therefore is apart of the Data Protection Act and cannot be done.
121. Data Protection Act(1998) -Social Hunt.
• When it comes to my social media site, I am going to
ensure that I follow the Date Protection Act. By this I will
ensure that as an app we don’t not share any personal
information of the user.
• The Data Protection Act 1998 protects people’s personal
data and defines the UK law on the processing of this
data:
• Everyone who uses data has to follow the Data
Protection Principles they are as followed:
This information must be:
1. Used fairly and lawfully.
2. Used for limited, specifically stated process.
3. Used in a way that is not adequate, relevant and not
excessive.
4. Accurate
5. Kept for no longer than absolutely necessary
6. Handled according to peoples data protection rights.
7. Kept safe and secure
8. Not transferred outside the European Economic Area
without adequate protection.
122. ASA-Advertising Standards
Association.
• Before Social Hunt can be published there factors which need to be covered before my app is
released to the public. The two main companies which cover the media publishing, these re
Independent Press Standards Organisation(IPSO) and Advertisement Standard
Authority(ASA).This both companies are based in the UK and work with dealing with any
complaints that have been made in the media industry. Some of the things they deal with is
Copyright, ethical issues, discrimination, children and accuracy.
Copyright- (LEGAL CONSTRAINTS)
• Copyright is a form of protection given to the authors or creators of "original works of
authorship," including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic and other intellectual works copyright
is massively important when it comes to producing my app the editors and producers of my
app would have to insure that they are aren't using any images without the persons
permission, or this could be seen as breaking the laws of copyright.
The Right To Privacy-(LEGAL CONSTRAINTS)
• Everyone is entitled to their rights of privacy. Therefore when it comes to publishing content
about people I need to make sure that I am not breaching anyone privacy or any regulations. To
make sure that all content is acceptable, and not breaching anyone's privacy, I must ask all the
people who are featuring in my app for their permission to use photos and information about
them.
• http://www.unicef.org/magic/briefing/childmedia_internet.html
123. Copyright Information.
• The copyright information for my social media app will be put in the
settings section of my app.This will allow the reader to read the list
of terms and conditions regarding the app.Within the copyright
information it will also list what my app with show and wont show
regarding personal information, I will also have evidence that my
app is registered trademark which is copyright protected.
• The copyright information will go in the settings page this is
because not all users will be interested in the copyright section such
as teenagers they would more interested in the app itself, therefore
it wont distract users from the content of the app.Although,for
those who are interested in the copyright information I will be
putting it in the “settings” as it is easy to locate and this means the
user wont have to browse through every page and link to find the
copyright information.
124. Conclusion.
• In this Learning Outcome, I generated more
ideas for my social media page, such as
created a site map, doing this allowed me to
know exactly how my navigation bar was
going to work, and which tabs linked to other
ones.
• I also created a graphic layout of all my
homepage, profile, and sign up page.

have been searching/looking for and these are the most popular the most trending items.
132. Web Address.
• The web address for our social media page will be
www.socialhunt.co.uk this is because it’s a simple, and
therefore users will be able to remember it easily.
• I have taken inspiration from The Hunt- as their web
address is
https://www.thehunt.com/?page=2&feed_type=popular
133. WSP-And how it is going to apply to my social media site.
• The WSP is the Web Standards Project. The WSP battles to decrease the costs and
complexity of web development.
How does/will the WSP apply to Social Hunt?
• The WSP applies to my social media product because they are one of the ‘leading
technical professional services firm’ by which they will be able to help with the
development of my social media product.
How is WSP going to apply to my social media product?
• This applies to my social media product by which ‘Social Hunt’ is a start up
business and may need help from the WSP to develop and decrease the cost of
how much the social media site is loosing and gain followers.
• Social Hunt, within the first year would have had a decrease in costs as the site
would have only just got up and running. Therefore it is looking to develop as a
product with the help of WSP.
• The WSP will help various business and product develop.
http://www.webstandards.org/
134. W3C-How this will apply to my social
media site.
• My Social Media Product has to follow the accessibility guidelines
made by the WSC.The guidelines state the although some people with
disabilities cannot access some media which may hold information
which isn’t correct for the user to read or listen to.
• Some information is required to serve the same purpose as the
content that cannot be accessed by the user.
• W3C will apply to my social media product, by I will have a section on
my site in the settings part called accessibility with a range of different
settings for the user to access if they are struggling with accessing the
website to its full capacity.
http://www.w3.org/
135. Terms and Conditions.
• Social Hunt will have to include a terms and conditions page for
the user to read and browse through if they have any concerns
