Reflection on Social Media Case 12: United Breaks Guitars

United Airlines United Airlines…. Where to begin. It is very unfortunate that they have had so many problems and that these problems have been shared across almost every social media plat form, news media outlet, and printed publication.  I heard all about the instance where they physically forced a passenger off of a plane to … More Reflection on Social Media Case 12: United Breaks Guitars

Reflection on Social Media Case 11: OK Go Gravity Song

We have talked at length in class about how Facebook and YouTube don’t get along.  What makes this case interesting is that a user (in this case the band OK Go) challenged YouTube and ultimately Google in an attempt to avoid sharing their video on a google platform.  What is also interesting is that S7 … More Reflection on Social Media Case 11: OK Go Gravity Song

Reflection on Social Media Case 10: Miracle Mattress Twin Tower Sale

Reflection on Social Media Case 7: Anthony Weiner’s Post

We live in a world of unlimited access to personal … More Reflection on Social Media Case 7: Anthony Weiner’s Post

Online Reputation

**DISCLAIMER** This is quite possibly the most creepy I have ever felt in my lifetime.  While the assignment was not meant for this I now feel qualified to work for the FBI in the internet intelligence department. Because Landen (most likely for fear of something unfortunate like this happening to him) has excellent privacy restrictions … More Online Reputation

Reflection on Social Media Case 5: Paypal Deleted Comments

It is my theory that when given the opportunity people will complain online.  When PayPal posted to their Facebook page they opened themselves up to ridicule.  Which can be the case anytime a large company posts on social media platforms.  There will always be both negativity and positivity associated with social media posting.  Where I … More Reflection on Social Media Case 5: Paypal Deleted Comments
