  • Most U.S. adult Twitter users don’t engage much.

      Most Twitter users are lurkers... what do you all think about that?
  • A new Pew Research Center study goes a step further. First, we asked survey respondents whether they use Twitter and, if so, for permission to look at their Twitter accounts. After reviewing each account, we quantified these Americans’ tweets, likes, followers and followings. The result is the Center’s first study of Twitter behavior that’s based on a representative sample of U.S. adults who use the platform.

    I can definitely see most Twitter users being lurkers. I lurk on Instagram quite a bit, but I have become more active in liking posts since taking this class!

    I am also an Instagram lurker. I was curious and looked at my three most recent posts... June 2, May 9, and March 2! Very little production happening.

    I am an invisible learner on Instagram. I have never posted on Instagram, but just like some of the posts. :-)

    I'm definitely a lurker when it comes to Twitter.

    This is so useful, especially after this class. Saved this and will share further.

    I think it's funny how a lot of these platforms hide this option. Out of all of the web 2.0 platforms, I really enjoy Instagram. That is one I will NOT delete

Twitter engagement university social

    In this article, two Australian researchers investigated whether Twitter can be used to foster enhanced student engagement within a university level sport marketing course. 68 students participated in the study. 59% of the class did not have an existing Twitter account and had to sign up for one to participate in the study. There were two aspects of Twitter user during the course. First, students would participate in two discussion lectures, which was structured much the same as a Twitter chat, with questions posted in advance of the actual discussion. The second aspect was to regularly post contemporary issues in sport marketing that coincided with the course content. Much like EME 6414, students used a hashtagged course code to be able to track the activity and respond to their classmates. I thought it was interesting that the researchers explicitly advised existing Twitter users that they did not have to censor their regular Twitter activity, as the instructor would only follow the course hashtag. This appears to be a clear acknowledgement of the potential for context collapse when social media is incorporated into an educational setting. Questionnaires were administered to broadly measure aspects of student engagement. The results suggest that Twitter was effective in the university classroom as engagement levels increased over the semester. Twitter made it easier for students to connect with both the instructor and other students and extend that connection beyond the lecture time in the classroom. These networking tools also allow students to take on a more active role in the co-creation of the course content. I think this is one of the most significant advantages of incorporating social networking elements into the classroom. The biggest limitations of the study were its small sample size and homogeneous population. Future studies should include more students from various disciplines.

    It took me a very long time to find the comment button to add another thought to my original post. Not nearly as noticeable as other discussion platforms. Anyway...I wanted to add that this article was very appropriate right now because the TA for EME 5608 is currently conducting research on a very similar topic, specifically "when and how social media apps like Instagram are used by students (without instructor participation) to support social interaction and build social connections in online courses." I know some of you are also in that course and I'm curious what your opinions are on the experiment? Do you think that interacting on Instagram has increased your social connections and added benefit to the learning experience?

Understanding Context Collapse Can Mean a More Fulfilling Online Life | Rewire - 2 views

  • Tech researchers say this is partially the fault of a phenomenon called "context collapse," a sociological concept that describes what happens when many social groups exist in one space.Here's how context collapse plays out online. When you have Facebook friends numbering in the thousands, your audience becomes a little difficult to speak to all at once.In an article for sapiens.org, Sophia Goodman described it as “trying to comfortably chat with your mother, bar buddy, work colleague, and ex-boyfriend at the same time.”In a place where parents, colleagues, bosses and friends all congregate, you can find it difficult to be yourself. Or, rather, to decide which self to be.

  • Understanding the sociology of social media means you can be more mindful about how you use it. Hopefully, your online life will be more fulfilling because of it. Or, maybe you'll decide to give it up all together.If you do stick around, don’t expect to ever find that “authentic” online version of yourself.“There really isn’t such a thing,” Marwick said. “It’s really always a performance."

  • There are three basic strategies people have adopted to deal with the reality of posting online.The "lowest common denominator” strategy, or only making posts that you're comfortable with anybody seeing, staying away from anything controversial or overly personal.“Social syphentation,” or migrating your conversation to a place where you have a smaller audience, like a group text, Instagram DMs or Snapchat, where the context and audience are clear.People are also avoiding context collapse by turning to more ephemeral mediums, like Instagram stories and Snapchat. These posts don’t stick around, so you can share without as much worry about the consequences.

      Lowest common denominator is usually the way I go. Although, I am opening up more within my social media outlets
  • And remember those privacy settings, and use them. Not everyone needs to see every post you make. And if you see something you don't want to see, feel free to mute it.

    I appreciate the explanation in this article about context collapse. It makes sense. This article definitely made me want to go back and check privacy settings and to think more about my likes.
