You Can't Choose Your Own Nickname (or Social Media Title) - HootSuite Social Media Man... - 3 views

  •  
    "Personal branding, writing a resume, creating an advertisement all have a common theme. When trying to persuade someone, generic statements aren't enough." I take issue with "you can make your own luck," but the post has some merit in terms of the signifiers you use to describe yourself.

When reading Morus', "'The Nervous System of Britain': Space, Time and the Electric Telegraph in the Victorian Age" the section about the re-marketing of the telegraph made me think of this video. The retooling of a commercial at the end of the video around the 12:00 mark is very good, if you can't watch the whole video. It's long but very good. #emac6300

Ad pictures vs Reality. Is it realistic to expect served food to match its photo? - 0 views

  •  
    While I believe it is important to ensure these companies adhere to health regulations as regards, products, processing, preparations, specifications and all that, i think it's unrealistic to expect photo-perfect food orders.

Unintended - and Anti-Social - Consequences of Social Media Use - 0 views

  • Simultaneously, though, we must understand that Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and other profit-driven companies are not neutral platforms for these conversations.
  • tech industrialists are the Rockefellers of this century, with profit, not innovation or the social good, as their primary motive
  • The lobby group FWD.us, brought to us by founders and investors of Facebook, LinkedIn and Spotify, among others, famously supported the Keystone XL oil pipeline with millions in pro-pipeline advertising

  • they're doing everything they can to avoid paying taxes
  • gentrification
  • San Francisco has lost at least 40 percent of its black population since 1990, more than any other major city
  • But the fact is tech companies continue the practices of devaluation of racialized and feminized labor on a global scale
  • There are no easy answers
  • Another answer is for tech workers to, in tech lingo, disrupt the industry's exploitation by developing alternative tools for connecting us all. Firefox, LibreOffice, PirateBay, Wikipedia and WordPress are all widely used technology-based tools created by organizations that don't count profit as their foremost objective.
  • More important, we can organize with and support the media and activists that already are doing this work, like the Bay Area's POOR Magazine
