Online communities are important because they allow for social connections and sharing. They empower users to be media owners and participate in non-linear conversations. While content was once king, community engagement is now more important, as people value relationships over information. To build a successful online community, one must understand people, listen to the community, get involved in discussions, and create remarkable content that adds value and can be shared.
Social Media 101 for Associations with notesDeirdre Reid
Social media provides new opportunities for associations to engage members and the public. It allows two-way communication beyond traditional one-way broadcasting. To be successful, associations should begin with strategic goals and objectives, and tie social media strategies and actions to these goals. Associations can use social media to share resources with members, facilitate networking and community building, and promote their brand through viral sharing. However, associations must adopt a culture of transparency, authenticity and collaboration to build trust and relationships through social media.
The document discusses whether social media is making people less intelligent by promoting quick, superficial engagement with information over deeper understanding. It argues that social media encourages consuming headlines, short blog posts and videos rather than longer texts. This may allow people to falsely portray themselves as experts. However, others counter that brevity has always been important in communication and social media does not necessarily mean people are "getting dumber."

Beyond Balance: Participatory Librarianship for Creating, Connecting, C...Buffy Hamilton
This document discusses the concept of participatory librarianship and moving beyond a focus on balance. It argues that libraries should facilitate participation in the community and engage patrons in conversations around topics like reading, media literacy, collections and spaces. Participatory librarians approach their work as facilitators of conversations rather than just providers of information. The document also discusses traits of participatory librarians, such as being curious, willing to take risks and embrace new ideas. It encourages librarians to ask how they can invite participation rather than just find balance.

The document discusses 6 reasons why militaries have been slow to adopt social media from the perspective of an information operations officer. It notes that there is a generation gap between decision makers and the target audience for social media. Militaries are also structured differently than the collaborative nature of social media platforms. Militaries require well detailed plans while social media operates at a faster speed. Information sharing through social media also poses operational security risks that militaries aim to avoid.

Megan and Shay wrote a report on how to use social media for advertising. They explain that identifying the target audience and choosing the best social media platform is important. Facebook, email and text messaging would be good options to reach people interested in athletic clothing brands. The report also notes that social media reaches more people all the time, including older demographics, but that direct advertising using a personal social network is more effective than display ads.
Social media can have both positive and negative impacts on individuals and society. The document discusses some of the benefits of social media, such as enabling connection with friends and family, facilitating information sharing, and aiding in business and political organizing.

How Social Media Affects Our Self-PerceptionBy Kelsey Sunstrum.docxadampcarr67227
How Social Media Affects Our Self-Perception
By Kelsey Sunstrum
Not long ago, a friend of mine deleted her Instagram account. I couldn’t understand why one would ever do such a thing, so I asked and her response caught me off-guard.
She deleted her Instagram because she felt herself becoming depressed by it. The pressure of taking the right picture, with the right filter, wearing the right outfit, at the right place, with the right people was too much pressure.
We are conditioned to project only our best, albeit unrealistic, selves on our social media profiles as a modern way of virtually keeping up with the Joneses.
Regardless of whether you realize it, you’re spending a great deal of time and effort on the creation of your digital identity. The molding of this alternate self depends heavily on how others are projecting themselves in these arenas as well. What happens to your ‘real’ self, then?
Enter ‘smiling depression.’
Smiling depression is a term used to describe people who are depressed but do not appear so. In America today, 6.7 percent of the population over the age of 18 suffers from major depression, and it is the leading cause of disability in the 15-44 age range.
If you were to meet me for the first time, you would be very surprised to learn I have major depression. It is second nature to me to put on a mask of a happy person. Not only do I talk with people, I’m often the loudest person at a gathering and can always find something to joke or laugh about. This is smiling depression.
Social media puts an interesting lens on the creation of the self, and how this construction affects our mental well-being. The ideal self is the self we aspire to be. My ideal self would be a 25-year-old successful freelance writer who lives in a perpetually clean house and who always takes the time to put on makeup before she leaves the house.
One’s self-image is the person we actually are based on the actions, behaviors, and habits currently possessed. My self-image would be of a 25-year-old freelance writer just starting her business in a house that’s mostly clean most of the time and who forces herself not to wear pajamas everywhere.
According to Carl Rogers’s theory of personality, every human has the basic instinct to improve herself and realize her full potential. Like Abraham Maslow, he called this achievement self-actualization. He believed this state was attained when the ideal self and the person’s self-image were in line with each other. This person would be deemed a fully functioning person.
Each of us carries what Robert Firestone termed the critical inner voice. It is a dynamic that exists within every individual that offers a negative filter through which to view our life. It is theorized that the voice is created at an early age during times of stress or trauma.
Social media is not only extremely pervasive, it is an activity in which you are expected to participate. Not all social media is Facebook and Instagram. Think LinkedIn, the.
The Online Persona: How an Online Reputation can be HarmfulE Weir
This document discusses the potential harms of obsessively curating one's social media persona. It notes that many people, especially youth, feel pressure to brand themselves online and receive validation through likes and comments. However, this obsession with numbers of likes and followers can lead to negative mental health effects like depression. The document cites studies that link greater social media usage to higher rates of depression in young adults, likely due to unrealistic comparisons to curated profiles of peers. It warns that both adults and children can experience feelings of low self-worth and anxiety due to the pressure to portray an idealized online image.
The document discusses privacy issues related to social media use. It provides examples of how oversharing personal information on social media platforms like Facebook can negatively impact people's lives and careers. One example is a teacher who was asked to resign after posting negative comments about her students and their families on her personal Facebook page. While social media allows for greater connectivity, it also decreases privacy as personal information is shared publicly without considering how it could affect one's reputation or safety. The document advises social media users to understand privacy settings, be aware of who can see their posts, and take responsibility for managing their digital footprint and online reputation.
The document discusses identity in social media versus real life. It notes that social networking sites allow teenagers to express different personas than in real life. While social media gives users tools to create and share their identity, it can also lead to confusion between one's online and real-life identity. The research aims to understand why people present different identities online versus offline and the impact of having split identities across social and real worlds. The methodology will include interviews, surveys, and research on social media use and identity representation to analyze the differences between online and real-life identities.
This document discusses how social media has become deeply embedded in our daily lives and influenced society in many ways. It notes that there are over 1.65 billion monthly active Facebook users and 3.17 billion internet users, many of whom are active on social media. While social media allows people to connect with others and share aspects of their lives, it can also be distracting and negatively impact productivity, concentration, and deep reading. Additionally, overuse of social media has been linked to increased feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and depression in some users. However, social media also provides benefits like helping people research companies and brands, with 77% of LinkedIn users saying it helped their careers. In the end, the document questions whether
Young people are increasingly engaging in participatory culture and creative production through digital media. They can develop their identities as media creators by interacting with engaged audiences online. Popular YouTuber Nicholle337 illustrates this as she gained a following by sharing videos of herself singing and has become a mentor within the autistic community. Creating profiles, photos, videos and other media allows for self-expression and social connection with peers, and the ease of access to production tools means more people can engage in creative work. Feedback from others and gaining audiences provides motivation to improve skills and engagement.

The document discusses social media, including its definition, history, popular platforms, and effects on youth. It provides statistics on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and WhatsApp. Both positive and negative effects are outlined. Positives include connecting with others and sharing information, while negatives include technology overuse, distraction from schoolwork, and risks like cyberbullying. The document concludes by emphasizing the need for internet safety education for youth.
Social media applications and arguments1Martin Hirst
This document discusses applications and arguments regarding social media and professional communicators. Key points include:
- Social media represents an important new communication channel that professionals can no longer afford to ignore. However, too much hype is marketing driven and a critical perspective is needed.
- Most journalists use social media to research stories but view information from social media as less reliable than traditional sources.
- Social media is increasingly being used in public relations for conversational marketing, reaching influencers, and empowering customers.
- Small and medium enterprises are also adopting social media for purposes like improving brand awareness, increasing traffic and leads, and generating repeat sales.
Connectivity of Ideas— Social media allows people all over the world to share ideas and collaborate. Creative entrepreneurs are now able to make their own jobs and gain audiences through platforms like YouTube. However, social media can also spread cyberbullying rapidly and negatively impact individuals.
Generation of Funding and Sharing of Innovation— Social media has enabled widespread sharing of technology and ideas. It has also become a major platform for crowdfunding projects and allowing individuals to gain support for causes. For example, a young girl was able to raise $2,000 for Syrian children through a Kickstarter campaign shared on her social media.
Loss of Privacy and Negative Publicity— While social media encourages sharing personal lives, it
Using Social Media (SoME) as a Teaching Tool in Your Residency ProgramBob Connelly
This document outlines a presentation on using social media as a teaching tool in medical residency programs. It discusses mapping one's own web engagement and sharing the map. Several case studies of social media use are presented and analyzed. The document encourages attendees to think about their audience, where they are located online, how to create and share content, and how to curate, comment and facilitate personal learning networks through social media. Potential pitfalls of social media use are also acknowledged. The presenter provides his Twitter handle and email for further contact.
This document summarizes social media impersonation on platforms like Twitter. It discusses how some individuals assume the identities of famous people or brands on social media to influence others or increase their own self-esteem. While some impersonation is meant humorously, others can be deceptive. The rapid rise of social media has allowed this new form of impersonation to spread quickly. Brands and celebrities now have to deal with maintaining their image in the face of impersonators on social media platforms.
Young people are increasingly getting fired or not hired for content on their social media profiles. Approximately one in 10 young people have lost a job due to posts on social media. Examples of problematic posts include photos of drinking and then calling in sick to work. While many young people are worried about social media affecting their careers, they may have different ideas than employers about what is appropriate to share. This disconnect could be because young people lack work experience or are not used to limiting what they post due to growing up in a time of oversharing on social media. Employers continue checking social media and firing employees for posts they view as unacceptable.
The document provides an overview of the University of Miami's use of social media for recruitment purposes. It discusses how UM maintains profiles on Facebook, blogs, YouTube, Flickr and Twitter to engage with prospects, current students and alumni. It also outlines challenges like having a small staff but emphasizes that social media is about building relationships rather than just pushing messages. The future of their social media strategy will focus on virtual tours and adapting different media as tools change over time.

that social media afford opportunities for
new expressions of friendship, intimacy
