Blog Social Networking

 




Social media technology has become a primary form of communication in the modern day. Not only do we use it to communicate and share with family and friends, but it has now become a primary resource for the corporate world. For example, LinkedIn has become the leading business network social media platform. There, working individuals are able to create a resume like profile with past work experience, education and even interests. According to NPR's "Social Networking Technology Boosts Job Recruiting" article professional recruiters have now started to hunt for candidates through platforms such as LinkedIn. Maureen Crawford-Hentz, a recruiter for Osram Sylvania was able to find a potential candidate for a marketing manager by searching key words and reviewing people's profiles in order to reach out. This creates a fast and efficient way to recruit for both potential employees and recruiters. On the other hand, putting not only your personal information on casual social networking sites such as Facebook in addition to your job information can create opportunities for identity theft. As mentioned on Wharton, University of Pennsylvania's article with all these combined new technologies for gathering and compiling data it would not be difficult for imposters to steal information or even find you and your family. Since we excessively use these technologies for everyday life, they might potentially create new forms of proving identification.

Some suggestions I would make using new media to improve Baruch College would be making different social media platforms in order the bring the school together. As you all may know, Baruch has many different clubs and organizations. In order to bring the different organizations and clubs together, maybe a social media platform where everyone can connect is a good idea. Aside from this and moving onto the learning perspective, I believe that school can use different streaming services in order to improve the classroom experience. Rather than having everyone in a zoom call, professors can stream their classes which will probably make classes a little more structured and give students the opportunity to have a better experience. I don't really like zoom itself and would prefer to watch lectures through a streaming service.

Blog: Wiki So Far

 Though I have not worked on the wiki yet or contributed to any of the pages, I know that I will be adding to the economics portion of the wikipedia. I saw that there are already information about how social media effects the economy and the use or bitcoin, but I did not see anyone talk about current websites that provide real time data. One of the big differences between new media and old media is the speed of information being processed and distributed to the viewers. We already know of existing companies that take advantage of real-time news and data such as Bloomberg and virtually any news outlet. The importance of real-time data for the markets and the economy will effect the decisions of traders, big or small, around the world. People who not only invest in domestic fixed income or equities but international as well. Getting information the fastest and most accurate is what sets these new outlets apart.
