Blog: Next New

     If a ginie would grant me a wish, I would want it to grant me a new media social networking meant specifically for teens, 13-19 years of age. This will cater solely to this segment of the online social networking community.
Teens get into so much trouble with Social Media often without knowing it at all. And most often than not the problem is in the language of their messages.
     Akin to Snapchat's disappearing photos sent between and among friends, except this will have the consolidated capability to delete messages after it's read by friends.

     Allowing friends and friends of friends read messages sent to each other, this messaging feature will ensure teens' typical  reckless, dangerous and life-haunting comments are tamed and put to extinction with immediacy after being read. This distinguishing feature will put many teens out of trouble which currently seems to haunt many affecting job and career prospects, and general marketability.

     Such a site will ensure parents of a safer online community void of threat to their kids' safety as a result of dangerous messages, comments & other harmful things today's online teen seem to be deeply rooted into.

    It is an interesting idea. It would also be a good thing if current social networking sites have age restrictions. As every social networking is free, teens are learning both good and bad things from the internet these days.

BLOG: Blog v Wiki

Blogs or wikis is the question. While both are interactive and incorporate "community," amongst users, blogs stem from a more centralized place of creation whereas a wiki is more decentralized. This suggests that Wikis are more susceptible to "wrong information" due to its decentralized nature that allows anyone, educated, experienced or not to have a say in a specified topic. A blog comes from an author who has somewhat a more reliable amount of information on a given topic. The reality is that both are crucial in today's modern-day and age. Wikis are more appropriate in some instances while blogs are advisable over wikis in other circumstances. For example, for a politician running a campaign, a wiki that allows voters to say and voice their opinion can be pretty helpful to tap into helping with the "grassroots" mobilization (as mentioned in the article about grassroots mobilization). The sample politician may prefer a blog in setting the tone for ...

Blog: Privacy

     For all the great uses and perks of new media, privacy may well be the biggest issue that bedevils it. It is simply a huge issue. New media companies collect, store and monetize troves of consumer data.
