This topic was posed to determine our exposure to media. For the
purpose of this blog I broke down my usage of social media per week into
percentages.
Facebook: 65%
Twitter: 25%
LinkedIn: 7%
Blogs: 3%
The results are not too surprising as I have been a member of
Facebook for over 3 years and it is a brilliant way for maintaining relationships
with friends and family away from home and chatting to friends on a
daily basis.Twitter was the second highest result which I have become addicted
to since joining it as part of our E-Tourism module. The key aspect of Twitter
that makes it so popular is that you can follow celebrities, sports people,
news broadcasters and any other website or person that would be of interest to
you as well as following your friends too. I only access LinkedIn 7% as I have
just joined the site and as it is used purely in a professional capacity, I
feel that I may use this site more so in the future when I began my career.
However I do find this site interesting as it allows you to connect to your
classmates, lecturers and the wider professional community. The final 3% is made up of Blogs which is also
a requirement of this module. I am only really getting into the swing of using
Blogs and am not sure whether I will continue to use them after I complete this
module. I feel this is an adequate portrayal
of my media exposure during a normal week, although I feel that perhaps
LinkedIn may take a more prominent position when I leave college.
