    The article itself was very interesting to see how they wanted to go about in filling these positions and why they needed new recruits. With a company such as Facebook it's no wonder they do need new recruits constantly.

    I tend to agree with Morrison in the article, emojis can definitely be used creatively and are a good way to set the tone of your text message.

    This is very true, emoji can have multiple meanings, an angry face can be seen as playful or serious, and since tone is sometimes hard to distinguish, misunderstanding may occur.

    Emoticons have a powerful effect on how we receive written information. Emojis are an easy shortcut to communicate informally. This is because the tone of a conversation affects how we react, and because physical cues help set the tone. Furthermore, emojis help bridge the gap between writing and emotion, which is responsible for causing misunderstanding.

    Emoji's are a useful way of reducing the amount of misunderstandings and misinterpretations that can happen online. These misunderstandings happen since we can't hear the tone of the voice or the body language used, therefore emoji's make it a little easier to understand whoever is on the other side.

    It feels like we've reached a point where in some cases, emojis have started to replace altogether, the words we send each other digitally, whether in an email,text messages or facebook.

    I absolutety agree with this article. Emojis has a lot of meaning and really useful, the typical example is that Facebook was updated 5 emoticons next Like button, the symbol of love, haha, surprised, sad and angry. I feel quite excited with the new logo because the Like button has indeed become too boring and there is something wrong when people click on the button Like for a sad status of their friends.

    I hadn't considered that emojis might actually eventually replace words. I've heard people end a joke with the phrase, 'ha ha, smiley face-poo' (which refers to the disappointment of receiving the smiling turd emoji). I think context plays an important part in this though and I can't ever imagine seeing emojis appear in a formal document

    I agree with using emojis to express your feelings or put a message aross

social communication

  • These online platforms are already transforming the way we operate by allowing an instantaneous flow of information and suggestions on how best to manage local healthcare services.
  • Thanks to social media, we no longer need to rely on face-to-face meetings or long chains of emails to share ideas and hold discussions. It is like an online meeting with real-time minutes that can be easily accessed and updated at any time.
  • The ease with which local information like this can be accessed is proving beneficial for all kinds of doctors. While there are still a number of GPs who do not use social media, newly qualified doctors have found our group particularly useful when familiarising themselves with services in the area.

  • Concerns will always exist around internet security and privacy for instance, though we have mitigated these with meticulous moderation and full use of Facebook's multitude of security settings. All of the group's conversations are "closed" and only visible to group members. Instead, we use our Twitter feed to keep the public up-to-date on our work.
  • Doctors' online conduct is also a concern. Most health professionals are sensible in their social media etiquette. But there is always the risk that GPs will share inappropriate material or identifiable information about patients.
