According to the Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs suggest that the target audience

Facebook- Sources of Revenue
• Facebook generates income through advertisement, Facebook made $3.7
billion from just the advertisement. People want make sure that they are
advertising on Facebook because they have 900 million active users online.
Depending on the things you like on Facebook will depend on what kind of
advertising you get. Facebook also makes money through mobile apps such as
Farmville and Candy Crush. They are linked to the network so users can ask
other users to play the game with them online using the mobile app. If you
were to advertise on Facebook it will cost you minimum $1.00 daily. With this
low of a bid you wont get many people looking at the advert. The more you
bid the more of a chance people will see the advert on their newsfeed.

Facebook- Sources of Revenue
• They can generate income through Pay Per click, this is an way of internet marketing.
Whenever the ad is clicked and then sent to the website thee website then must pay a
small fee to the search engine. This could then generate a lot of income for Facebook.
Below is an example of the that get posted on my personal news feed. Most of the
adverts are sponsored which creates a bigger income. On my personal profile I have
liked a lot of football related products such as Adidas football. This then links to why I
have football related sponsored adverts on my newsfeed as you can see below in the
print screen. Facebook earns $21.5 million per day from advertisement.

Legal and Ethical – Does Facebook put
you in a bad mood ?
• Facebook has been a part of one of the many problems over social media
in terms of changing peoples behavioral traits. People scroll through their
social media and find out that people have posted stuff that you may not
have been invited to. This then leads people into depression in some
cases. People also like to express what they are feeling about on
Facebook. The majority of them are all based on bad news. This then puts
other people in bad moods when they then go to see the post appear on
their newsfeed.

Facebook – Legal/ethical issues
• Lawsuit Target Facebook Privacy Issues case study
• Facebook users are at risk at having their personal information such as
pictures on things such as advertisement without their consent. This
required 5 Californians to file a lawsuit against Facebook. Facebook says
that they don’t sell personal photos to people for advertisement. This
would be against Facebook’s policy so the advert was removed from
Facebook.
• 10 days after the lawsuit Facebook decided to give all the users more
control over their personal accounts. Facebook conformed to this case
study by allowing people to gain for control of what people see on your
profile.

Facebook – Legal/ethical issues
• Facebook have to agree to the Data Protection Act (1998). This is to ensure that
the users have their personal data that they give to Facebook is kept safe from
hackers. When you sign up to Facebook you have to fill in your date of birth and
other details. Facebook by law have to keep your details safe and only visible by
you. The screen shot below shows the privacy page that Facebook have created.
This allows you to be in control of what people see on Facebook regarding to your
personal details.
Facebook – Legal/ethical issues
• Facebook faces the most common problem
that social media sites have to face. That is
cyber bullying, due to a article on the mail
online Facebook has become the worst social
media network for bullying with 19 year olds
being the most common victims. The report
says that the people who get bullied on the
social media site suffer depression, self
harming and truancy. This can all then lead to
serious and tragic events such as death.
• Facebook has taken steps to make sure that this
doesn’t happen on the social media site by
creating a help page. Below is a screen shot of
what the help page looks like. They offer you
advice on how you should deal with the
bullying online.

• In a recent article that I have researched on the internet, Facebook can cause
people to have a lot of stress on them. This is caused by other users on Facebook
posting something stressful online, it can then make you get stressed out as well.
People would want to help out with situations on Facebook which then causes
stress on themselves according to this recent study. This is known as people having
a “cost of care” when they see stressful posts on Facebook. The chart below is
from the article I found online. This explains how people that don’t use Facebook
have a lower stress level than the people that do use Facebook.

follow procedures to keep personal data safe from other
people using it. It provides a way for you to be in control for
who sees the data for the magazine.

Negative publicity Facebook
• Facebook faces a common social media online problem known as cyber bullying. In
a recent article I had found was about a consumer that ended up hanging himself
when he was getting bullied on Facebook. The bullies were targeting the 19 year
old by posting some incorrect rumors. Therefore the negative side of Facebook
there is no control over what people are posting online. This has lead to someone
taking their own life because of the negative side.

The verbal code “warns of dangers” connotes how the newspaper are trying to create a

Snap Chat- Purpose
Snap Chat is a social media platform that you can use on mainly mobile devices. You can
also use Snap Chat on computers if you download a program called BLUESTACKS. As long as

This connotes how hard Evan had to work to make the app successful.

Snap Chat- Purpose
• Snapchat have the slogan saying that they allow people to have real time picture
chatting for I phone and android. This connotes that they want to promote the
fact that you picture chat for real. This is the only real way that you can talk to
other people using pictures. Below I have taken a screen shot of Snapchats slogan
from their Facebook page as I am unable to access their website.
Other media websites I have researched have commented on the purpose saying
“Snapchat is a photo-sharing app that changes privacy norms in a very novel way. The
free app allows users to send others photos and control how long receivers can see
them. These photos last for up to 10 seconds, before they disappear forever. If you try
to take a screenshot, the app will notify the sender”. The description then moves on to
what Snapchat mostly is used for. This is sexting people explicit pictures of themselves
to other users. The media makes this to be a big things with Snapchat.

Snap Chat – Content
• The Snap Chat ident is yellow which means that the
on going house style will be yellow. From this screen
shot on the left you are able to see the main screen
when you open up the app. This display shows you
who you have sent Snap Chats to and who has sent
them back. The Snaps are color coordinated by red
being a picture and blue being a simple typed
message. This connotes the red being more of an
important message because it’s a picture and
message. Blue is less important as its just a basic
message. If you then swipe with your finger to the
right, users can then take a picture of themselves
along with using the edit tools. Swipe one more time
to the right and you are able to access other peoples
stories along with your own.

remember. This so you can access your account from any electrical device that has
access to the internet.
• As you can see from the diagram below the age category that uses the application the
most is the 18-25. This is because younger people are more into taking pictures of
themselves also know as selfies. Snap chat have 100 million users that are on the app
everyday. 65% of people that uses the app contributes to the content of media, this
can mean posting pictures to your story for people to see or simply sending friends

Snap Chat – Target Audience
• Katz’ Uses and Gratification theory suggest that the users of Snap Chat can post
stories of events and situations for other friends to be able to see. They can take
pictures and then wright on it a type of situation that they may be in. they can
then keep this story online for 24 hours. People are able to then relate and
express what they might be feeling. People can also use instant messaging on this
social media product which then can create a bond between people chatting. This
is classed as the personal relationships that users develop.
• Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory suggests that the users are Social climbers as
they can send pictures of something they may have achieved. They can then also
put this on their stories. They can show people that they have improved their
status In society.
• Hartley’s seven subjectivities theory suggests that the age is 13+ as this is what
the Snapchat team have enforced. The gender is both male and females that are
being targeted. You have to be middle class due to you having to be able to afford
an I phone or Android phone to be able to use the app.
Snap Chat- Sources of Revenue
• Snap Chat generates its money through mainly
advertisement that they allow people on Snap
Chat to look at. They also offer the users to have
a better version of the app such as being able to
replay snaps that have disappeared after the
timer runs out to look at the snap. They charge
you 99p for the new feature of the app. Snap
Chat makes on average £750,000 a day from just
the advertisement that they put on the
application.
• In June 2015 Snap Chat raised £60 million just
from the investors that they have. They then
valued the company for a good £800 million.
There is no other way that the app can generate
the money by the users.

Snap Chat- Sources of Revenue
• According to an article that I have researched, Snapchat had turned down a 4$ Billion
deal from Facebook and Google. They had turned this huge offer down because they
said “it would be hard to build a business out of Snapchat”. With having 400 million
people using Snapchat each day, they could make loads of money from simple
advertisement on their app.
• They can earn up to $3 million for making sure that someone's 10 second video
advertisement is on the application. This then makes the a huge and sustainable
revenue for the company.

Snapchat- Legal and Ethical Issues
• One of the biggest issues that Snap chat faces is children sending nude pictures to
each other via the application. There have been cases where children have been
sending nudes to each other as a form of child pornography. In November , ten
boys near Montreal were being investigated due to the nude pictures. This then
was turned into a court case. Snapchat can be very fun and popular as this is the
third most popular social media social site in the world. However it is dangerous
due to the events involving the nude pictures from children.
• Furthermore Snapchat could be set for being band from the UK along side
WhatsApp if controversial Snooper Charter legislation is passed. Prim minister
David Cameron is paining to stop encrypted messages being sent to other people
through these applications. Communication data bill.

Snapchat- Negative Publicity
• The main issue that Snapchat faces with the users is Sexting. In a recent article that
I found online was about Snap chat cracking down on sexting teen by telling them
to keep their clothes on. This is due to the number of concerned parents that are
against sexting in Snapchat. The issue has only recently been brought to the
headlines as the under aged Teens have been using the app to send naked pictures
to other people using it. Snapchat were quick to take action as they have enforced
some rules on their website for the app. The rules state that you must keep your
clothes on , especially if you are the under the age of 18.

‘racy’ Snapchat photos hitting the Internet. The negative publicity surrounding this
speculation has caused lots chaos surrounding Snapchat and its security. This
product therefore ‘erodes normal social behaviour’ (Noam Chomsky) as thousands
of users can send these ‘racy’ photos that are hitting the Internet. Therefore, it
highlights the internet and apps are ‘eroding normal social behaviour’.

WhatsApp- Target Audience Audience
Theories
• According to Katz’ Uses & Gratifications theory the target audience is aimed at
‘personal identification’. This is because on the application you are able to relate to
a character and their situation. You are able to contact people in your phone book
and use the instant messaging. People can write their own personal statuses on
their profile which can the allow other contacts to see.
• According to the Hartley’s seven subjectivities the target audience is aimed at 16+
due to the rules that have been enforced by WhatApp. The gender is aimed at
men and women. You have to be at a middle class stage to be able to afford a
smart phone to use the application.
• According to the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs the target audience is aimed at
‘Caregivers’. This is because people are able to comment on their status saying that
they are in a bad state. Other users can see that and then sympathise the
characters situation.
WhatsApp- Sources of Revenue
• WhatsApp generates most of the money through Facebook. In the year 2014
Facebook decided that they should buy the application company for the cost of
$19 billion. Through the Facebook company they made around $1,289,000 in nine
months.
• WhatsApp makes most of the money simply buy charging people on the app stores
$1.00 for the app. This means that they have some revenue coming in for every
person that has WhatsApp on their mobile phone. In the UK WhatsApp is free for
the first year. They then charge you £1.00 to use the app for another year.
WhatsApp have around 700 million people using the app. This means they then

WhatsApp- Legal and Ethical Issues
• WhatsApp breached data privacy laws by storing non-user contact details
• WhatsApp have been found guilty for breaching the users personal information on
peoples phones. “It indiscriminately retains all that information, meaning millions
of non-consenting, non-users have had their data given up over the years”
• Furthermore WhatsApp could be set for being band from the UK along side Snap
Chat if controversial Snooper Charter legislation is passed. Prim minister David
Cameron is paining to stop encrypted messages being sent to other people
through these applications. Communication data bill is a draft legislation that was
introduced to parliament in May 2012. this is to help seek the compel ISPs to store
the details of what WhatsApp’s communication usage.

WhatsApp- Legal and Ethical Issues
• Whatsapp have issued a new security encryption techniques to keep the
users safe. On the India radar they have noticed that they haven't done so
as said. The Indians have tested the security of the service and failed. They
were able to beat the tech and hack other messages with very little
prevention. This has been called for a band in India due to the service
stating false information.

WhatsApp- Legal and Ethical Issues
• WhatsApp have caused problems with people mentally in society for some
people. When you send a message to some one, there is a green tick that pops
up telling you that the message has been delivered. Then a second green tick
will pop up telling you that the message has been read. For one women this
caused depression. She had messaged a man she asked a number for during
the week. She sent a message to this man over WhatsApp. The green tick had
been shown to say that it had been delivered. Then the second tock had then
been shown. This mean that he had read her message. The reply never
happened. The women then felt very sad and then lead to depression. She
knew that the man had read the message and hadn't replied to her. This made
her feel lonely and unwanted. This is all because of the WhatsApp feature that
they have placed on their mobile messaging service.

WhatsApp- Is this Ethical ?
WhatsApp have been breaching privacy laws by accessing users contact
address book which is imbedded into the phone.
Is this ethical? Yes it is because they are pertaining to the right and wrong in
conduct. Breaching privacy is morally wrong so should not have been done.
Do they still do this? This was issued in 2012, this was an on going
investigation. WhatsApp had to the year 2013 to fix what they had done by
officials. WhatsApp then made the changes to the breaching of privacy on
peoples phones through the new update.

Noam Chomsky, social media “erodes
normal social behavior”
• This theory suggests that the social media that we have
today erodes the normal social behaviour that we have
today. Noam Chomsky has noticed the change in normal
behaviour through watching his grandchildren. People
are becoming very shallow when it comes to talking to
other people face to face. The rate of violence has come
up especially from male teenager boys.

According to Noam Chomsky, social
media “erodes normal social
behavior”
• I agree with this statement about Facebook as I have done some research about
the social media site. According to my source people spend up to 7 hours a month
on the social media site. This then erodes the normal social behavior that people
should be having. This Is Facebook's mission statement, "Facebook's mission is to
give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected.
People use Facebook to stay connected with friends and family, to discover
what's going on in the world, and to share and express what matters to them.”
• This shows you how much Facebook wants you to be on the social media site, they
want you to be on their site staying connected with other people. They also want
people to express what they are feeling on Facebook which can also cause
problems with normal behavior.

media “erodes normal social
behavior” –
• I agree also with the next social media product I have chosen to research.
SnapChat have caused many problems with normal social behavior, usually they
are effecting couples that are together. The source that I have researched tells me
that is causes Jealously in normal social behavior.
• This is because SnapChat allows people to send pictures to each other. This can be
anyone which is why people get jealous when partners see each other sending and
receiving pictures from other people. 14.2% of the users use Snap chat for
“sexting” people. Which means that they are sending explicit pictures of
themselves to other people.

I agree with this because there have been many people that have quit using this
application. I have researched some sources and found out that there have been 3
main reasons for quitting. The first being the application being slow, the second
annoying group chats and lastly the last seen messages. The case study I have found
on the internet tells me about a man who got emotionally put down because of the
messages he had sent. The man had sent messages to people which has been read
easily identified by the applications feature.
This then made the man sad and effected how he then socialized with people because
he had lost his confidence with talking to other people.
Convergence theory –
Henry Jenkins (2006)
"the kinds of entertainment
experiences they want"
• Facebook gives consumers “the kinds of entertainment experience that they want”
as consumers are able to share YouTube videos on their news feed, watch
Memes/Vines they are able to “like” posts and also Facebook have now brought in
more Emojis that have a meaning behind them like the thumbs up. Therefore
instead of just liking something on Facebook you can now have different emotions
such as “Haha”, “Yay”, “Wow”, “Sad” and “Angry”. This gives consumers “the kinds
of entertainment experiences they want” because they are now able to share
different emotions and can also get more involved by sharing videos on their
newsfeed and sharing from others.

Yik Yak
• Yik Yak is a social media peoduct which allows people to post and say
whatever they like about a certain topic. This website is very popular for
university students. This means that the target audience are between 18-
24. Andrew Keen (2011) suggests that this is an example of social media
product that encourages “shameless” behaviour. Andrew Keen wants to
convey the message to say how morally wrong it is to post things that are
on your mind. People are posting stuff on Yik Yak which people simply
does not matter.
Yik Yak in trouble with the media
• The social media site has been a very successful site for college students
to go on and communicate to each other. However they are causing loads
of problems with local schools. There have been a number of bullying
cases that lead to young people getting hurt by. Students have been
getting death threats from other users of the social media site. People
have also been getting bomb threats. This has lead to loads of schools
having to block the social media site.

Positive side of – Facebook
Facebook has many good sides to its site such as:
• It can be very beneficial for consumers that live far apart that are living
far apart from each other. Because of Facebook they are able to keep
in touch with each other. Families can share family photos and different
videos with each other on the social media site.
• It can good for making new friends that may live near by, this can then
make people have a happy relationships using the messaging
application they have. Or you can still keep in touch with old friends
that you miss.
• Support- recently there have been terrorist attacks in Paris, Facebook
have allowed people to show their support by changing their profile
picture to a French flag. This then sends a message to society that
people want to unite and support the country for what they have been
through.

that you want to share with, you have a contacts list
where you are able to choose who you would like to

• Lawsuit Target Facebook Privacy Issues case study
• Facebook users are at risk at having their personal information such as
pictures on things such as advertisement without their consent. This
required 5 Californians to file a lawsuit against Facebook. Facebook says
that they don’t sell personal photos to people for advertisement. This
would be against Facebook’s policy so the advert was removed from
Facebook.
• 10 days after the lawsuit Facebook decided to give all the users more
control over their personal accounts. Facebook conformed to this case
study by allowing people to gain for control of what people see on your
profile.

Negative side of Facebook
• Facebook faces a common social media online problem known as cyber bullying. In
a recent article I had found was about a consumer that ended up hanging himself
when he was getting bullied on Facebook. The bullies were targeting the 19 year
old by posting some incorrect rumors. Therefore the negative side of Facebook
there is no control over what people are posting online. This has lead to someone
taking their own life because of the negative side.

Negative side of Snap Chat
• One of the biggest issues that SnapChat faces is children sending nude pictures to
each other via the application. There have been cases where children have been
sending nudes to each other as a form of child pornography. In November , ten
boys near Montreal were being investigated due to the nude pictures. This then
was turned into a court case. Snapchat can be very fun and popular as this is the
third most popular social media social site in the world. However it is dangerous
due to the events involving the nude pictures from children.
• Furthermore Snapchat could be set for being band from the UK along side
WhatsApp if controversial Snooper Charter legislation is passed. Prim minister
David Cameron is paining to stop encrypted messages being sent to other people
through these applications. Communication data bill.

Snapchat- Negative Publicity
• The main issue that Snapchat faces with the users is Sexting. In a recent article that
I found online was about Snap chat cracking down on sexting teen by telling them
to keep their clothes on. This is due to the number of concerned parents that are
against sexting in Snapchat. The issue has only recently been brought to the
headlines as the under aged Teens have been using the app to send naked pictures
to other people using it. Snapchat were quick to take action as they have enforced
some rules on their website for the app. The rules state that you must keep your
clothes on , especially if you are the under the age of 18.

Primary Research
• For my primary research I have used survey monkey which is an online survey
website that allows you to produce and then send to people. You can then review
the results online. I have created a survey online to ask my peers what they think
the positives and the negatives about social media.
• I will then screenshot the results then analyze them in the following slides. I have
asked my peers questions such as , what do you think the positive effects of social
media have on you ?
Primary Research
This response denotes that everyone who has responded to the survey has said
that they all use the popular social media sites that I have suggested. This
connotes that most of the class like to use the popular social media sites.
Primary Research
Here I have received a responses to the question “What do you think the positives
of social media are?“ people have responded saying that they find social media
positive because they are able to keep in contact with people such as family. You can
also invite people to events. This is what people find positive about social media.
• Here I have received responses to the question “What do you think the negatives
of social media are?“ I have received responses that tell me that cyber bullying and
being made unsociable. People can hack into your accounts and steal your details.
Theses are the negative impacts that the social media sites can have on you .
Primary Research
Primary Research
This is an answer I have received to the question of “why do you use social media?”
I had a few responses saying that they use social media mainly for keeping in touch
with other people. This is what Facebook’s mission statement is to make sure
people stay connected with each other.
Primary Research
I wanted to ask people this question due to the latest terrorist attacks in Paris, I wanted
to find out if it had an impact on my peers social media. People have said that their
social media makes them happy. This shows that people are not being impacted by the
recent attacks via social media. Others has said that it doesn't’ bother them at all.
Primary Research
This question that I have asked people is to find out if people use social media
as a newspaper. The answer was yes, as you can see the everyone in the survey
has selected yes to using the social media website as a newspaper. You are able
to read the news on the social media website.
Primary Research
In this question I wanted to find out if people feel safe with having
their data on the social media site. When you sign up for the social
media website you need to fill in some personal details. The responses
I have got shows that everyone does not feel safe about the details
being in their social media.
Primary Research
In this question I wanted to find out how many times a week people use the social
media. From the responses it shows that people use the social media site more than
10 times a week. This means that people are on the social media sites nearly
everyday.
Primary Research
From this open answer question I wanted to find out what appeals to people
the most on social media. I got responses saying that they like the ability to be
able to communicate to each other. Others say that they enjoy seeing peoples
photos of families and friends.
P3
P3 Breakdown
• Within P3 I will be looking at how the social media products
are being advertised. This may be through the internet or on
TV. I will be also looking at viral marketing for the social media
products that have been made. Finally I will be looking at the
product service reviews that have been based on the social
media products.
Pay per click advertising
• This is a very popular way of advertising on social media. Whenever an
advert is clicked on, the advertisers then pay a fee to the website. This
means that they are paying a fair amount of money for the people that
have seen it. This type of advertising can be seen on a lot of websites.
Including social media sites. Such as Facebook, Instagram and twitter.
Usually people will pay around £3 per click on their advertisement. This
can bring out a good profit if you end up with people buying your product
for £50 over a £3.00 fee.

Sponsored Advertisement
• Sponsored advertisement is known as advertisement that is placed on a
social media website as well as other websites. It becomes apart of the
content for the social media. This is popular on social media websites. This
is because the social media website will place the advert depending on
what you have liked already on Facebook onto your social media feed. For
example if I like the Top Gear page, then I'm going to get car product
sponsored advertisement on my feed.

papers/the-definition-of-sponsored-content/
Peer to Peer advertisement
• This is when you encourage other people to promote your product to other
people. This can be done through virtual and real shopping in the high-street.
Some shops will say that if you recommend a friend to the product then you will
get some sort of discount of prize. This is mainly done through band cards when
receiving rewards on your card. This will then encourage people to then share the
product with other people.

Advert - Facebook
I have researched
Facebook’s TV advert that
they have recently brought
out to people on the TV.
What they aim to promote
on the advert is making
friends. The target audience
is aimed at young adults as
they use young adults in the
adverts.
They make sure the adverts
are showing people having
fun in their social time. This
is what Facebook to
promote. You can make new
friends on Facebook and
have good times together.
The connotations conveyed in this
advert is all about being friends.
The screen shots are of Facebook’s
TV advert. They have shown
friends in real life socializing
The Verbal code
connotes that the
message Facebook
wants to get across to
the audience is that
they want people to
be friends and
embrace the ‘global
village’ (McLuhan –
1967) this product
seems to conform to.
That is their one
simple message that
they want to convey.
Advert- Snap Chat
This bill board that has been advertised by Snap
Chat conveys to the audience that this is the best
social media product. They have focused the
advert on just the logo to make the product the
center of attention.
They have used the
house style to convey
the product to the
audience. The house
style is yellow which
also makes the advert
eye catching to look
at.
They have made
this advert very
simple because its
over a main road.
People will not
have time to slow
down and read
content on the
advert
Advert- Snapchat
• SnapChat have used a popular film to
advertise their product. They have set
up a fan page on the SnapChat app
that features the stars of the film
feature in story's people can access on
the app.
• The verbal code connotes that Snap
Chat are advertising the new movie
called Pitch Perfect 2.
• The Movie then decided that they
should let everyone know what they
can do on SnapChat by making an
advert on it. Source:
http://marketingland.com/super-
bowl-commercials-hashtags-slips-
50-2015-116658
Advert-WhatsApp
The verbal code connotes
here that the service is
quick and easy to use. They
have used verbal codes
such as “Simple, personal
and real time messaging”
as they are trying to convey
that their service is very
quick and easy to use for
everyone.
At the bottom of the advert you are able to
see all the different types of smart phone you
can buy. This is conveying to the audience that
you are able to use this service with any type
of these smart phones.
Advert-WhatsApp
• WhatsApp doesn’t have any type of advertisement in the social media business,
they have a different way of making sure that they have the company promoted.
They have done this by selling the company to Facebook. Facebook have bought
WhatsApp which means now that Facebook have the job of making sure that they
are being advertised.
• Facebook do this by making their own adverts and new features that link to
WhatsApp. This then shows people on Facebook that they have partnered with
WhatsApp.
• As I had researched earlier about the
movie Pitch Perfect, I have also
found that they have video shared
the two social media products.
Facebook and SnapChat have both
offered the same thing, this was to
advertise the movie thorough the
social media sites. This then allowed
them to be video shared as you can
see on the left with the movie
advert. This advert was advertised
on the TV. This means that people
will then sign up and take part in
finding out more about the movie
via the social media sites.
• This is an example of what video sharing is with the social media synergy. The new
movie ‘Deadpool’ has shared its video that has been uploaded to YouTube through
Facebook. People are then able to share this and also comment and like.
• People are able to then view this video by Deadpool on YouTube through the
Facebook link.
Distribution by users
• On Facebook people are able to
comment on new releases of TV
programs, films and other news
articles. On Facebook I have found a
post from Top Gear. They have
posted their trailer for their new
episode. People have been able to
comment on what they think.
Distribution by users
• On Snapchat people can create story's on
their account. People who are friends
with the user are able to then view the
story. They appear in the recent updates
section of the app. People can take
pictures then type a short message across
the photo. Friends can view this and then
message the user about the story that has
been posted. The story will only remain
on the account for 24 hours before It then
deletes itself.
Distribution by users
• On your WhatsApp profile you are
able to change your status and your
profile picture. At the moment my
profile status just says available.
People that are in my WhatsApp
contacts are able to contact me and
question my status. You can the
change your status at any other
time.
Viral marketing
• Viral marketing is when you have the product sold electronic, this means
that the apps have to be accessed from the app store. This store is where
you access the apps if you have an apple product. This is a good techniques
that allows you to be able websites to pas s on a marketing message to
other sites. This then creates the growth of the messages as it becomes
more visible to people. People can promote what they sell using e-mail
news letters. This has become a very popular method that people have used
to sell on the web.
• Sourcce: http://searchsalesforce.techtarget.com/definition/viral-marketing
Reviews of the product
• You are able to see the reviews of the products on the app store from people that
have downloaded the product. Apple have then abled people to get their say on
what they think of the app. This then gives other people on the app store an idea
of what the application is like. I have researched Facebooks reviews on the app
store and have found out as you can see below that they have had some good
reviews from people that have bought the app.

Reviews of the product
• This is an review that has been taken from a social media review website. They have
said that the social media product has been rated a 16+. People have said that this app
is a great social media product that gets used for the wrong reasons. The application
has been rated through a chart for parents to read. They are then displayed on the
website page for people to see. The screen shot is displayed below on the right hand
side. People have said that the app is very swear word based and slightly sexual. This is
why the review has been given a 16+.

Reviews of the product
• WhatsApp has been given a good review by the people who run this social media
review website. They have said that this a 16+ social media product as this is a

the new features that they have brought out to the users this
year. Such as allowing people to use face swap on their
accounts. People that use this have taken to Facebook to
share their experience using the new feature.
• From Facebook they have then liked and shared all the
pictured and videos that have been uploaded. This then
creates enough publicity they need to then go on and produce
more.
How do you advertise ?
• Many different types of social media like to make sure that they are advertising to promote the
product. The internet is the best place because that’s where everyone goes to look for products.
The internet says that the price of the advert is decided on how many pixels you wish to use on the
advertisement.
• You then must decide where the advert is going to go, where on the screen where would you like to
see it go? You then need to consider the advert performance. The size, location and quality of the
advert.
• The market demand is then decided when the publisher will decide on a setting rate card level to
be able to sell out the bulk of the inventory. Below you can see the standard rates you would have
to pay for the advertisement on the internet.

Purpose
• The purpose of this social media website is to be able to bring football
fans together to bond and have a great match day. Its been designed to
make finding venues on match days easy. The social media website also
provides the users with latest football gossip and news about football in
the premier and championship leagues. This then keeps the football fans
with the up to date news and gossip of the latest transfer rumors. The
target audience will want to seek news to see if their football club they are
supporting appears in it.
Purpose
• The purpose of this social media website is to bring all the Forza game fans
together to engage. They are able to talk to each other over the website, post
pictures that are relevant to the game, write reviews on the new Forza games that
come out and comment on other users posts.
• The site gives people the power to organise events online using X BOX LIVE on the
game Forza. The site will give you times and dates and event types , this then
creates a group of people online that can organise this and take part online. There
are competitions and leader boards that the users can try and beat and take part
in.
Competitors
I will have the competitors of smart glass as they have a similar target audience and
offer many other features. They allow users to post recording and achievements that
they have made on X BOX games. With my social media product is focuses on the X
BOX game Forza. SmartGlass focus on any kind of X BOX game. Because my social
media product is exclusive to Forza it means I can offer the users more interesting
features that are exclusive to the game.
Web Colour
• I have been inspired by the sport radio show called “talk sport”. They uses
a yellow and black house style for their logo. This makes the website look
sporty, and football specific. The colour connotes the stereotypical a
football team would play in. This also makes the website look passionate
and serious about the game of football.
Inspiration for Football Go GO !
• I have been inspire to create this social media site by a radio station called
talkSPORT. They have become so popular that they now have their own website
and app. This is all about football fans coming together to have a discussion about
transfer rumor and matches. I have been inspired by their choice of colour and
content. This has inspired me to make a football website with the similar objective.
Which is to bring all the football fans together.
Web Colours
I have decided that I am going to use the colour of purple and pink
and white as the main colour scheme for the website. I have
decided that if I use the theme colours that the game Forza uses.
This will then convey to the users that colours have been inspired
by the game itself. The colours suit the theme of racing.
Inspiration for Forza Morza
• I have been inspired by the social media website called Facebook. This has been
my inspiration because there has been many ways that the users can interact and
socialize. The profile page has been based on something simple, this makes it
accessible to everyone that wants to use the site. The colour is very simple and
stylish for everyone to enjoy. I was also inspired by the messaging that you can
perform online. This makes it easy for people to be able to communicate online to
each other. I have decided to use Facebook as a source of my inspiration.
Inspiration for Forza Morza continued
• I have also been inspired by the social media products such as Instagram. I
have been inspired by the social media product as its fun and very easy to
use. You are able to sign up using Facebook which makes it very quick to
be able to sign in. The profile is very easy to be able to use. You are able to
edit the profile name and picture quick and easy. You can tag other people
in pictures that you post online.
Copyright © location
• For both social media websites the location for the copyright information
will be displayed at the bottom of the home page in the right hand corner.
You will be able to click on the copyright link which will then take you to a
separate page on the social media website page. In the screen shot below
you will be able to find this mini bar which will give you the trade mark
rights page. I have been inspired to place this down at the bottom through
other social media site such as Facebook and Instagram.
Synergy with other social media
• There will be synergy with both social media sites. On the sign up page you will be
given the option to be able to sing up with Facebook. This will make it easier and
quicker to be able to sign up. There will also be social media links on the home
pages so people can like and share the social media website, this will be part of
the peer to peer advertising. Below I have placed a screen shot of the option you
get given when you go to sign up for the page.
Abbreviated Logo
• I have created an Abbreviated version of the Logo which is FM. This stands
for Forza Morza. I have created a logo which has been made quick and
simple so people are able to work out what it means instantly. I have done
the same for the other social media site called Football Go Go ! This has
been shortened down to just FGG. Below on the right hand side I have
created the Abbreviated Logo for Forza Morza.
Font styles
I have decided to use this as a type of font style due to
the game inspiring me to use similar colour schemes and
font styles. They suit the game along with the social
website colour. I have used the cars in the font style to
connote what the website is really about. This will be the
first thing that the users will see when they log on to the
website.
Connotations- Forza Morza
• This social media site is used specifically for the X BOX game FORZA. This
allows FORZA fans to log in and see who’s available to paly the game. On
the site you are able to select the FORZA game, Time and Date you want
to go online. Once you have filled out these boxes you press go, this then
takes you to the requested time, date and game page. On this page shows
you who else is interested in going online on that date, time and game.
You are able to upload photos and comments to this page.
• The colour scheme for this site will be purple to connote the racing
theme. The colour connotes the game being “powerful” , “Pulse Raising”
and “Attractive”. This site is targeted at teenagers that play X BOX and
FORZA. The slogan for this site will be “Be the best forget the rest” , this
connotes the site wanting to bring out the best of you in FORZA.
Connotations- Football Go Go!
• I have called my second idea for a social media website, “Football Go Go!”.
This gives the users a good idea of what the social media website is about.
For example the name football gives away that the social media website is
all about football. Therefore football fans being the main target audience. I
have used Go Go! To connote to the readers that the social media is easy
and fast to use. I have created the name that sounds catchy so people will
easily be able to remember what the social media website is about.
Navigation bar
• This is where people are able to see what pages are on the
online social media site. The navigation bar will have a
drop down menu which users can put their mouse over to
make drop. The users will be able to access all the pages
from this bar. The bar will be located below the screen
shot that is displayed below.
Navigation bar
• The navigation bar is where you are able to access all the pages that are
located on the site. As you can see from below the screen shot shows the
navigation bar options. When you role over the button the text change
color. The navigation is black and yellow, this colour came from a football
related radio station called “talk sport”. This colour inspired me to use to
make the website look sporty and specific to football.
Content
• Within the website there will be a news section that gives you all the up to
date news about the new game releases of Forza. The leader board will be
located within the social news feed post on the side of the screen. News
articles that are related to the game will be on the social news feed from

Products that inspired me -
Talk Sport and Smart glass.
Talk sport inspired me
because its football focused
and gives you live football
updates on the radio. This is
therefore similar to my
product because its football
focused. But I have the
difference because mine
gives you up to date locations
you can visit on match days.
Smart Glass inspired me
because its XBOX specific to
the users. This is similar to
mine as Forza Morza is also X
BOX specific.
Forza Morza
I went onto Dafont.com to
find some font styles for
my web page. These are a
few ideas that I found that
gave me the basic design. I
wanted to find basic fonts
so that they can easily be
read on the screen. By
looking at the fonts I
decided that I didn’t like
the look of the Weknow
font as it is too bold.
Social media
synergy is used on the
sites to help promote the
product. I will have
Facebook, twitter and
Instagram on the social
media sites. This can
then lead to people liking
and sharing the post that
I have created. You will
also be able to log on
with Facebook.

I went to Dafont.com to

few ideas that I liked. I
have chosen them
because they look bold
and appealing to look at.
Looking at the fonts I
decided that I didn't’t like
the wood cutter the most.
This was because it looks
to fancy for the social
website.

Audience Interest
• Within the social media product they will want to interact with
other people who also love the game. I have created a page on
the social media site to allow the users to be able to post pictures
and videos of the video game Forza. The age of the intended
target audience is aimed at young people 7+. This is because the
game has been rated a 7+, most of the users will be aimed at 16+
due to the use of social media.
Katz Uses and Gratification
• The users for this site will want to have Surveillance as they want to know
information of what the new Forza games have to offer. Diversion will also
be an area as people come to this site to socialise and engage with people
who love the game Forza.
• They will also be classed as personnel relationships on the social website.
As people will be allowed to discuss recent articles from Facebook on the
site. People are able to comment on the article and engage with other
people to give their opinions.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs
• The users that use this site will be classed as social climbers as they would
want to improve their social status. They also want to know what new
news has come out regarding the new Forza games. Users are able to
comment and discuss theses news articles. They can share their opinion
on what they think the article is about and what it means for the game.
• Users will wan to show and post their current pictures of how well they
are doing on the Forza games. This may be a new car that they designed or
an achievement that they have unlocked.
Hartley’s 7 Subjectivities
• The majority of the users that will be on the site will be from the USA as
online gamming is very popular there. Compared to the UK the Americans
will find this site more appealing to them. Some of the greatest cars and
race tracks are from the USA. As the game is based on racing this will
appeal to them as part of the American culture is fast muscle cars and
good race tracks.
Socio economic needs
• The users will be within the C2- B as
this will b mostly interested in the
new news about the new Forza
games. They will have to also be in
this class to stereotypically have a
good job to be able to afford the
Forza games, XBOX and the online
fee you have to pay to go online.
Psychographics
• You have to be over the age of 13 as this is the same requirements as
Facebook’s. this is for the newsfeed page, as the articles are coming from
Facebook. The users have to be old enough to see the Facebook’s post. Users
that are below this age can still use the site but not access the newsfeed page.
• The majority of the age range will be 16+ as this is what interests young
people when they need excitement and entertainment. Younger people like
to socialise more than older people. This is because older people have other
commitments to life and have to use money wisely.

Online Disinhibiton
• This is when there is a loosening of social restrictions and inhibitions that would
normally have someone with a normal face to face interaction. People tend to
have a different attitude when they are online. This is compared to how people
behave when they are talking to someone face to face. Online people tend to
become more confident compared to themselves in a face to face situation.
• There are six factors that have contributed to this effect, they are the following…
“dissociative anonymity, invisibility, asynchronicity, solipsistic introjection,
dissociative imagination, and minimization of authority”. For example on Snap
Chat people tend to send explicit pictures of themselves, but then appear shy and
self conscious in person.

good job to be able to afford the
Forza games, XBOX and the online
fee you have to pay to go online.
Psychographics
• You have to be over the age of 13 as this is the same requirements as
Facebook’s. this is for the newsfeed page, as the articles are coming from
Facebook. The users have to be old enough to see the Facebook’s post. Users
that are below this age can still use the site but not access the newsfeed page.
• The majority of the age range will be 16+ as this is what interests young
people when they need excitement and entertainment. Younger people like
to socialise more than older people. This is because older people have other
commitments to life and have to use money wisely.

Interaction Targets
• I am planning to get as many people on my social media site. I need to
make a big progress jump over the first 3 years from launching the
product. I have created a table below to denote the target that can be
reasonably achievable. I have looked at how many Facebook have
gathered over the few years as a guideline for my target that I have
created below. After the first year I will be creating some new features and
exciting news to draw in some more users. I will be using social Media
synergy to post the new features.
1-3 years Amount of users
Year 1 10,000
Year 2 150,000
Year 3 1 million
Navigation bar Comparison
• This is where people are able to see what pages are on the online social media site.
The navigation bar will have a drop down menu which users can put their mouse
over to make drop. The users will be able to access all the pages from this bar. The
bar will be located below in the screen shot. I have placed a screen shot of what
the Facebook navigation area looks like. As you can see, there are some similarities
and differences. I have made the navigation bar into a straight line like Facebook's.
I have also used rectangle boxes as buttons for the site. The difference is that
Facebook have used pictures of icons such as speech bubbles and a globe. Instead
of naming the buttons they have been made as picture icons.
Profile Page instead of Home Page
• There is a reason why I have placed the status bar on the profile page instead
of the home page. I have placed it on this page because on the profile page
you are able to edit your whole profile. You can edit your picture, name and
status on one page. This page is personal to the user so the user can make the
status visible to whoever they want. The home page purpose is to find online
sessions to play the game Forza with other friends. You will find that Facebook
have done the same thing with their profile page. The screen shot below on
the right is the navigation bar on the profile page of Facebook. This is where
you are able to update your status.
Site Map
Competitors
I will have the competitors of smart glass as they have a similar target audience and
offer many other features. They allow users to post recording and achievements that
they have made on X BOX games. With my social media product is focuses on the X
BOX game Forza. SmartGlass focus on any kind of X BOX game. Because my social
media product is exclusive to Forza it means I can offer the users more interesting
features that are exclusive to the game.
Font styles
I have decided to use this as a type of font style due to
the game inspiring me to use similar colour schemes and
font styles. They suit the game along with the social
website colour. I have used the cars in the font style to
connote what the website is really about. This will be the
first thing that the users will see when they log on to the
website.
Types of pages
• I will be having many different pages for the users to be able
to explore on my website. They will have to use the navigation
bar to find out what pages they want to use and where they
currently are. The main pages the users will first see on the
website will be Home, Contact us and Terms and conditions.
Other pages will have features where the users will be able to
interact with other users that like the website.
Sign up Page
Home Page
Profile page
Profile Page References
I have used Instagram and Facebook as a reference and a guidance to my final
idea for my profile page. I have used a the boxes to make the profile page easily
identify. The profile picture is placed as the biggest box on the page which Is also
what I have done. This gave me the decision to then produce the profile page like
this. Information about the users will then fall into the boxes below the picture
which makes the page more personal to the users.
Web colors
I have decided that I am going to use the colour of purtple and
pink and white as the main colour scheme for the website. I have
decided that if I use the theme colours that the game Forza uses.
This will then convey to the users that colours have been inspired
by the game itself. The colours suit the theme of racing.

Launch Information – 17th September
2016
• I am going to have my release date be on 17th September this year, this is
because this will be the day that one of the new Forza games gets
released. This will then make the social media product a lot more exciting
and exclusive to use for the new game that is coming out. For gamers this
will be a big weekend for them. Releasing the social media website on this
date will create a good promotion for the site. Users will want to post
pictures and videos of the new game online. They are able to do that on
my social media website.
Advertisement
• I will be using social media which is below the
platform. This is because it is very effective,
easy and free to use. Above the line
advertisement is when you pay to have the
advert placed on TV and banners for people to
see. The social media website synergy will be
more effective to use as most of the target
audience use Social media websites such as
Facebook and Twitter.
• On the below the line adverts I will be using
pay per click. This will allow people to click on
the advert and the get taken directly to the
home page on my social media website.
Adverting space
• The adverting space will be located on the right hand side of the home page. I
have chosen to locate the adverting space to the right hand side as Facebook
have also done the same. As you can see from the screen shot below. They
have placed their advisement on the right hand side. Putting the
advertisement to the side make it less annoying for the users to see. Its put to
the side from the main content. As the social media website is a very popular
site I have chosen to follow what they have produced.
Advertisement price
• I have chosen to also follow what Facebook have charged people for the
advertisement on the site. They have come up with a system that charges
you more money for the amount of likes your advisement page has, this is
because more people are seeing it which means that its worth more value.
Sign up fee
• There will be no sign up fee to the social media website. This is because I
want the users to be encouraged to sign up. A few users will disagree with
the sign up fee to the website because Facebook because don’t charge
people. This would give my competitors the edge if I make people pay to
sign up to the site. The income will be produced through the
advertisement that will be featured on my social media website.
Pay per Click advertisement
• Pay per click advertise is a good way to advertise a product while paying a good fee
for it. Every time a person clicks on the advert, the company that own the advert
will be paying me around £3.00 for the one click. This then gives the fair fee to pay
for the advertisement. I have been inspired to use this by Facebook as this is what
they use for their advertisement. The people who are paying for the
advertisement can make some good profit if they pay £12 to advertise a product
that is worth around £40. Below is a screen shot of what Facebook will charge you
for the pay per click.
Crowd Funding page
• Here I have created a Crowd funding page
that will help me start up my social media
site. I have created a site using
Gofundme.com. I have placed a target for
£3,000 to help me get the equipment that
I need to be able to start up the social
media sites. The page has been likened
with my Facebook account so I can share
the page. People can then get access to
the page through Facebook.
Copyright
• To make sure that my website doesn’t have any copy
right issues I am going to make sure that its written
on the home page of the website.
• It will say that [COPYRIGHT OWNER’S NAME] all
Rights Reserved. This means that I won the trade
mark and no one can take the idea and use it.

Football Go Go !
• I have called my second idea for a social media website, “Football Go Go!”.
This gives the users a good idea of what the social media website is about.
For example the name football gives away that the social media website is
all about football. Therefore football fans being the main target audience. I
have used Go Go! To connote to the readers that the social media is easy
and fast to use. I have created the name that sounds catchy so people will
easily be able to remember what the social media website is about.
Football Go Go !
I went to Dafont.com to
find some ideas for my
website. I have found a
few ideas that I liked. I
have chosen them
because they look bold
and appealing to look at.
Looking at the fonts I
decided that I didn't’t like
the wood cutter the most.
This was because it looks
to fancy for the social
website.
Goals
• The goals that I have made for this social media website is very simple. To
bring football fans together socially and to promote fast and easy access
to the best areas to socialize before and after a game. For example the
away supporters wont know where the nearest pubs are to the game. All
they have to is select the league then game, then you are given a list of
near by pubs and venues to socialize. This then hopefully creates more
friendships among the supporters.
Purpose
• The purpose of this social media website is to be able to bring football
fans together to bond and have a great match day. Its been designed to
make finding venues on match days easy. The social media website also
provides the users with latest football gossip and news about football in
the premier and championship leagues. This then keeps the football fans
with the up to date news and gossip of the latest transfer rumors. The
target audience will want to seek news to see if their football club they are
supporting appears in it.
Content
• The content of this social media website is all about the news and what
venues are the best to go to on match days near the football stadiums.
The users can check all the up to date news that there is in the football
leagues of the Championship and the Premier league. This creates a lot of
content in the news as the news will be spread out over both of the
leagues. Every weekend within the football season a lot of fixtures take
place. This means there will be a lot of content about the best venues.
Audience interests
• Within the social media product they will want to interact with other
people who also love the game. I have created a page on the social media
site to allow the users to be able to post pictures and videos of the video
game. The age group for the social media website will be aimed at people
who are 18 +. This is because you have to be 18 to be able to drink at the
venues that are found on the social website.
Release date
• The release date for this social media website will be on the August the 8th
as this is when the premier and championship starts. This will create a
good start for the social media website as everyone will be excited for the
new season to start. This will mean a lot of people will be looking to try
the new social media website for the new season.
Katz’ Uses and Gratification
• The users for this site will want to have ‘Surveillance’ as they want
to know information of what the new football games have to offer.
Diversion will also be an area as people come to this site to socialise
and engage with people who love the game.
• They will also be classed as personnel relationships on the social
website. As people will be talking about what they think about the
football gossip.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs
• The users that use this site will be classed as ‘social climbers’ as
they would want to improve their social status. They also want to
know what new news has come out regarding the transfer rumours.
Users are able to comment and discuss theses news articles. They
can share their opinion on what they think the article is about and
what it means for the game.
• Users will wan to show and post their current pictures of how well
their team are doing on the in the games. This may be a new
transfer that they have read about.
Hartley’s 7 Subjectivities
• The majority of the users that will be on the site will be
from the UK as the primer and championship leagues
are only played in the UK. Compared to the USA the
British people will find this site more appealing to
them. Some of the greatest teams and race stadiums
are in the UK. As the game is based on football this will
appeal to them as part of the British culture is football.
Socio economic needs
• The users will be within the C2- B as
this will b mostly interested in the
new news about the transfer gossip.
They will have to also be in this class
to stereotypically have a good job to
be able to afford the football tickets
, drinks and the travel fee you have
to pay to get to the venue.
Psychographics
• You have to be over the age of 17 as this is the legal age for you to be able
to drink alcohol. As this site is based on venues that you can visit to
socialise.
• The majority of the age range will be 18-25 as this is what interests young
people when they need excitement and entertainment. Younger people
like to socialise more than older people. This is because older people have
other commitments to life and have to use money wisely.

Navigation bar
• The navigation bar is where you are able to access all the pages that are
located on the site. As you can see from below the screen shot shows the
navigation bar options. When you role over the button the text change
color. The navigation is black and yellow, this colour came from a football
related radio station called “talk sport”. This colour inspired me to use to
make the website look sporty and specific to football.
Production Plan – Football GO GO!
Week 1
Week 2
Week 3
Week 4
Launch Date – 30th July
• This will be the release date for the social media website because the summer will
give the release a boost. The teenagers would have broken up for the summer
holidays which will get them a chance to use the social website. Even thou most of
the football leagues would have been finished. There will still be some friendly
fixtures that teenagers will be able to attend via the social website that I have
created. Teenagers will be able to spend longer socializing in the summer as all the
exams would have finished. Then social media website would then become more
appealing to the audience throughout the rest of the football season.

and serious about the game of football.

• Trade marks are logos or words that specifically identify anything. Once a
trademark has been produced and registered, they belong to the
business. If the trade mark has been made and then registered and

• For the safety of the users, the website strongly recommends that you keep your
personal data safe. Meaning avoid posting this on the comments page.
Synergy with other social media
products
• Social media websites use Synergy with other social media websites to help
promote the product. I have done some research on to find out what social media
website uses the synergy. The website I have found is called Forza, this is a social
racing game for XBOX. They use synergy on their website to help promote the
game on other social media products. From the screen shot below you can see
that the website has the Facebook logo displayed. The logo is a link to the social
media site Facebook. The link takes you to the Forza page that they have produced
on Facebook.
Synergy with other social media
products case study
• Here I found the Fulham Football Cub website which has an array of
evidence of social media synergy on the football website. As you can see
below I have take a screen shot of all the social media synergy that they
have on the website. Fulham Football Club have done this to help promote
the club. Fixtures and pictures of the club are posted on the social media
sites. This is then shared and liked on them. This creates a good promotion
idea for the football club.
Advertisement+ Revenue
• I will be using social media which is below the
platform. This is because it is very effective,
easy and free to use. Above the line
advertisement is when you pay to have the
advert placed on TV and banners for people to
see. The social media website synergy will be
more effective to use as most of the target
audience use Social media websites such as
Facebook and Twitter.
• On the below the line adverts I will be using
pay per click. This will allow people to click on
the advert and the get taken directly to the
home page on my social media website.
How will adverts appear on my page
• I have decided to place my adverts on the side of my social media site. I
have used Facebook as my inspiration for where to place the adverts for
my social media site. I will be using the pay per click advertisement as this
is a very easy and quick way to make revenue for the social media site.
Every time people click on the advert I will then be getting £4 in profit for
that one click. I have taken a screen shot of Facebook’s advert placement
and also my advert placement .
Advertisement price
• I have chosen to also follow what Facebook have charged people for the
advertisement on the site. They have come up with a system that charges
you more money for the amount of likes your advisement page has, this is
because more people are seeing it which means that its worth more value.
Establish User Trust
• The privacy of the members is something that the website keeps very safe. The
personal data that the users give the sign up page will be stored correctly. The data
will be kept on a separate database server. The server will have a separate software
which prevents the crime of hacking. The website follows the personal data
protection act. This is a law which states that all personal data should be secure and
protected. The data should not be sent to any third party without the personals
consent.
• The users will be the only ones that are able to access their own accounts on the
website. The account will be protected with their own user name (being their e-mail)
and their own password.
Establish User Trust Case study
• There has been a case before that involved Jenifer Lawrence’s iCloud
account being hacked. This lead to the actress then suing Apple over the
fault. This then lead to explicit pictures of the actress then being leaked
online. This is due to Apple not having the correct security settings on the I
cloud accounts. Apple have failed to keep the actresses data safe on their
server. This is why I will be using a safe server to store data called solar
winds. They will give you a very secure server to store the data for the
website.
Wasp Web Standards
• This is the web standards project. This is known as WaSP. The projects fights for
the standards that reduce the cost and and confusing of development. This is for
any site that is published on the web. This project was founded in 1998. The
project work with browser companies and tool makers, they believe that they can
deliver the true power of standards to the medium.
• This will help my social media product improve the standards and the accessibility
for the social media website. This will mean that people will be more able to have
access to the social media website.

news for the game Forza. The content will be about what games and updates there
are on all the latest games for Forza. The users are then able to then comment on
the news posts on the website. The rest of the content will be about which user
has the most points by winning races via the game Forza. People are able to meet
on the website in groups.
• The body text will be like this to help engage the users to then interact on the
website and post on the posting page. I want the body text to help people getting
evolved with what is going on in the website.
• The text will be made bold and easy to use. The connotations behind the text
show that the website is bold and exciting. I have taken a screen shot of the font
styles that I have selected from.
Misrepresentation
• If people are trolled and misrepresented on the social media website
there will be certain legal issues that will need to be considered. The legal
and ethical issue does have a consequence if this issue takes place.
Whoever gets the misrepresentation will then be able to then claim some
compensation.
• The issue will then be dealt with the management team that help run the
social media site. Further actions will then be taken up depending on how
badly effected the victim has been effected.
Misrepresentation Case study
• Trolling has become a serious case on the internet over the past few years.
Recently a troll on the internet has been found out and then jailed for what has
been done. The troll had been mocking dead teenagers on other websites. There
have been public figures such as Stephen fry who have been victims of the trolling
on the internet. Most of the trolling that has been taking place has gone onto
social media website Facebook. Facebook have a security procedure to follow
depending on how bad the case of the trolling has been. For my website I will be
making sure that the procedures have been put in line. This will be incase the
trolling takes place on my website. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-

• If you are looking to make sure that you have a legal trademark registered you have
to log on to an internet website, this website is called the Trademarkhub. They have a
99% success rate which means that they have had successful trade marks that have
been registered.

Potential Risks for my Website
• I have been researching case studies that have occurred over the years to see what
kind of hazards there for having a social media website. Recently at a restaurant a
customer wasn’t happy the fact that on the receipt it said that the waiter has 18%
of the tip from the bill. The customer used a pen and scribbled the % out to a
lower one. The waiter didn't like the fact that the customer had done this so she
posted a picture of this on a social media website. This is violating customers
privacy. People reported this which meant that she got fired.
• To make sure that this doesn't occur on the website where you are able to post
things will have a policy. This is where the users will have to read the policy on the
website which explains to the users what they can and what they cant post. The
policy then goes on to explain what the consequences are if they choose to ignore
it.

Final Idea
I have decided that my final idea will be to go ahead with the social media website
Football Go Go! Over my other idea which is Forza morza. This is because I think that
the Football will create a lot of users than the other one will. Because this is a UK
based website, this will be more popular. This is because the UK hold one of the
biggest football leagues in the world. The Barclays Premier League. Holds some of
the best clubs in the world who are very popular. The big clubs will be drawing
people to use the social website. Other sports websites that are used such as Talk
Sport have become very popular because of the premier league. Because my social
media website is linked to the league as well. It should help my social media website
take off.
Purpose
• The purpose of this social media website is to bring all the Forza game fans
together to engage. They are able to talk to each other over the website, post
pictures that are relevant to the game, write reviews on the new Forza games that
come out and comment on other users posts.
• The site gives people the power to organise events online using X BOX LIVE on the
game Forza. The site will give you times and dates and event types , this then
creates a group of people online that can organise this and take part online. There
are competitions and leader boards that the users can try and beat and take part
in.

W3C Guidelines
• These guidelines make it accessible for people with disability's to use the
website. Websites need to make sure that the colour of the font is friendly
and easy to see. The buttons need to be made clear about where it would
take you on the website. The font size and style needs to be made big
enough to see and simple enough to read. On each page of the website
there is a button that will take you back to the home page should you get
lost. Images needs to be used to make it easy to identify what page you
are on. I have made sure the website buttons have been made accessible.
Meaning that it will work when you click on the buttons. People will be
able to click on a button then be directed to another page that the button
was labeled as.

The free app allows users to send others photos and control how long receivers can see them. These photos last for up to 10 seconds, before they disappear forever. If you try to take a screenshot, the app will notify the sender”. The description then moves on to what Snapchat mostly is used for. This is sexting people explicit pictures of themselves to other users. The media makes this to be a big things with Snapchat. Source: http://techcrunch.com/2012/05/12/snapchat-not-sexting/

People are able to then relate and express what they might be feeling. People can also use instant messaging on this social media product which then can create a bond between people chatting. This is classed as the personal relationships that users develop. • Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory suggests that the users are Social climbers as they can send pictures of something they may have achieved. They can then also put this on their stories. They can show people that they have improved their status In society. • Hartley’s seven subjectivities theory suggests that the age is 13+ as this is what the Snapchat team have enforced. The gender is both male and females that are being targeted. You have to be middle class due to you having to be able to afford an I phone or Android phone to be able to use the app.

They had turned this huge offer down because they said “it would be hard to build a business out of Snapchat”. With having 400 million people using Snapchat each day, they could make loads of money from simple advertisement on their app. • They can earn up to $3 million for making sure that someone's 10 second video advertisement is on the application. This then makes the a huge and sustainable revenue for the company. • Source: http://blog.namomedia.com/post/76243407158/how-snapchat-is-missing-out- on-15m-in-revenue

This then was turned into a court case. Snapchat can be very fun and popular as this is the third most popular social media social site in the world. However it is dangerous due to the events involving the nude pictures from children. • Furthermore Snapchat could be set for being band from the UK along side WhatsApp if controversial Snooper Charter legislation is passed.

In a recent article that I found online was about Snap chat cracking down on sexting teen by telling them to keep their clothes on. This is due to the number of concerned parents that are against sexting in Snapchat. The issue has only recently been brought to the headlines as the under aged Teens have been using the app to send naked pictures to other people using it. Snapchat were quick to take action as they have enforced some rules on their website for the app. The rules state that you must keep your clothes on , especially if you are the under the age of 18.

She sent a message to this man over WhatsApp. The green tick had been shown to say that it had been delivered. Then the second tock had then been shown. This mean that he had read her message. The reply never happened. The women then felt very sad and then lead to depression. She knew that the man had read the message and hadn't replied to her. This made her feel lonely and unwanted.

    Noam Chomsky, socialmedia “erodes normal social behavior” • This theory suggests that the social media that we have today erodes the normal social behaviour that we have today.

    According to NoamChomsky, social media “erodes normal social behavior” • I agree with this statement about Facebook as I have done some research about the social media site. According to my source people spend up to 7 hours a month on the social media site. This then erodes the normal social behavior that people should be having. This Is Facebook's mission statement, "Facebook's mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. People use Facebook to stay connected with friends and family, to discover what's going on in the world, and to share and express what matters to them.” • This shows you how much Facebook wants you to be on the social media site, they want you to be on their site staying connected with other people. They also want people to express what they are feeling on Facebook which can also cause problems with normal behavior.

SnapChat have caused many problems with normal social behavior, usually they are effecting couples that are together. The source that I have researched tells me that is causes Jealously in normal social behavior. • This is because SnapChat allows people to send pictures to each other. This can be anyone which is why people get jealous when partners see each other sending and receiving pictures from other people. 14.2% of the users use Snap chat for “sexting” people.

I have researched some sources and found out that there have been 3 main reasons for quitting. The first being the application being slow, the second annoying group chats and lastly the last seen messages. The case study I have found on the internet tells me about a man who got emotionally put down because of the messages he had sent. The man had sent messages to people which has been read easily identified by the applications feature. This then made the man sad and effected how he then socialized with people because he had lost his confidence with talking to other people.

    Convergence theory – HenryJenkins (2006) "the kinds of entertainment experiences they want" • Facebook gives consumers “the kinds of entertainment experience that they want” as consumers are able to share YouTube videos on their news feed, watch Memes/Vines they are able to “like” posts and also Facebook have now brought in more Emojis that have a meaning behind them like the thumbs up. Therefore instead of just liking something on Facebook you can now have different emotions such as “Haha”, “Yay”, “Wow”, “Sad” and “Angry”. This gives consumers “the kinds of entertainment experiences they want” because they are now able to share different emotions and can also get more involved by sharing videos on their newsfeed and sharing from others.

    Online Disinhibiton • Thisis when there is a loosening of social restrictions and inhibitions that would normally have someone with a normal face to face interaction. People tend to have a different attitude when they are online. This is compared to how people behave when they are talking to someone face to face. Online people tend to become more confident compared to themselves in a face to face situation. • There are six factors that have contributed to this effect, they are the following… “dissociative anonymity, invisibility, asynchronicity, solipsistic introjection, dissociative imagination, and minimization of authority”. For example on Snap Chat people tend to send explicit pictures of themselves, but then appear shy and self conscious in person. • Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15257832

I have made the navigation bar into a straight line like Facebook's. I have also used rectangle boxes as buttons for the site. The difference is that Facebook have used pictures of icons such as speech bubbles and a globe. Instead of naming the buttons they have been made as picture icons.
  • 178.
    Profile Page insteadof Home Page • There is a reason why I have placed the status bar on the profile page instead of the home page.

  • 193.
    Advertisement • I willbe using social media which is below the platform. This is because it is very effective, easy and free to use. Above the line advertisement is when you pay to have the advert placed on TV and banners for people to see. The social media website synergy will be more effective to use as most of the target audience use Social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter. • On the below the line adverts I will be using pay per click. This will allow people to click on the advert and the get taken directly to the home page on my social media website.
  • 194.
    Adverting space • Theadverting space will be located on the right hand side of the home page. I have chosen to locate the adverting space to the right hand side as Facebook have also done the same. As you can see from the screen shot below. They have placed their advisement on the right hand side. Putting the advertisement to the side make it less annoying for the users to see. Its put to the side from the main content. As the social media website is a very popular site I have chosen to follow what they have produced.
  • 195.
    Advertisement price • Ihave chosen to also follow what Facebook have charged people for the advertisement on the site. They have come up with a system that charges you more money for the amount of likes your advisement page has, this is because more people are seeing it which means that its worth more value.
  • 196.
    Sign up fee •There will be no sign up fee to the social media website. This is because I want the users to be encouraged to sign up. A few users will disagree with the sign up fee to the website because Facebook because don’t charge people. This would give my competitors the edge if I make people pay to sign up to the site. The income will be produced through the advertisement that will be featured on my social media website.
  • 197.
    Pay per Clickadvertisement • Pay per click advertise is a good way to advertise a product while paying a good fee for it. Every time a person clicks on the advert, the company that own the advert will be paying me around £3.00 for the one click. This then gives the fair fee to pay for the advertisement. I have been inspired to use this by Facebook as this is what they use for their advertisement. The people who are paying for the advertisement can make some good profit if they pay £12 to advertise a product that is worth around £40. Below is a screen shot of what Facebook will charge you for the pay per click.
  • 198.
    Crowd Funding page •Here I have created a Crowd funding page that will help me start up my social media site. I have created a site using Gofundme.com.

  • 202.
    Goals • The goalsthat I have made for this social media website is very simple. To bring football fans together socially and to promote fast and easy access to the best areas to socialize before and after a game.

This then hopefully creates more friendships among the supporters.

    Establish User TrustCase study • There has been a case before that involved Jenifer Lawrence’s iCloud account being hacked. This lead to the actress then suing Apple over the fault. This then lead to explicit pictures of the actress then being leaked online. This is due to Apple not having the correct security settings on the I cloud accounts. Apple have failed to keep the actresses data safe on their server. This is why I will be using a safe server to store data called solar winds. They will give you a very secure server to store the data for the website.

    Potential Risks formy Website • I have been researching case studies that have occurred over the years to see what kind of hazards there for having a social media website. Recently at a restaurant a customer wasn’t happy the fact that on the receipt it said that the waiter has 18% of the tip from the bill. The customer used a pen and scribbled the % out to a lower one. The waiter didn't like the fact that the customer had done this so she posted a picture of this on a social media website. This is violating customers privacy. People reported this which meant that she got fired. • To make sure that this doesn't occur on the website where you are able to post things will have a policy. This is where the users will have to read the policy on the website which explains to the users what they can and what they cant post. The policy then goes on to explain what the consequences are if they choose to ignore it. • http://oursocialtimes.com/6-examples-of-social-media-crises-what-can-we-learn/

    Final Idea I havedecided that my final idea will be to go ahead with the social media website Football Go Go! Over my other idea which is Forza morza. This is because I think that the Football will create a lot of users than the other one will. Because this is a UK based website, this will be more popular. This is because the UK hold one of the biggest football leagues in the world. The Barclays Premier League. Holds some of the best clubs in the world who are very popular. The big clubs will be drawing people to use the social website. Other sports websites that are used such as Talk Sport have become very popular because of the premier league. Because my social media website is linked to the league as well. It should help my social media website take off.

    Purpose • The purposeof this social media website is to bring all the Forza game fans together to engage. They are able to talk to each other over the website, post pictures that are relevant to the game, write reviews on the new Forza games that come out and comment on other users posts. • The site gives people the power to organise events online using X BOX LIVE on the game Forza. The site will give you times and dates and event types , this then creates a group of people online that can organise this and take part online. There are competitions and leader boards that the users can try and beat and take part in.
