ADVICE

As a new hire at Baruch college, I'm here to help with new media. The first step is the Marketing / Promotion of the school. Having a website that is easy to navigate is always a plus.Baruch already has social network which allows student to keep up with school events. A great tool that I would suggest for Baruch is google analytics, this will help examine and view how people are viewing and analyzing their site.In addition possibly creating an app for the school that inform students on current events about the school.

The Topic of my project is" How Social Media creates a loss of Privacy" .With the exposure to social media, our society feel the need to share everything on social media. Our society share almost everything from pictures, moods,  feelings, life events, current activity etc. While social media connects us with one another  whenever users share information with friend list  that information can also be shared with other individuals who aren't on their friend list. Yes social media is a great tool but it contains many negative aspects.

Social media is a beneficial technology for business because it helps increase brand recognition. With social media, business are able to promote their product.   The company and product becomes more accessible to its consumers. In addition social media help view feedback from consumers and create a relationship with the customers.. Social media is beneficial to society by allowing convenient communication throughout the world. Social media also allows society to be interconnected.For example in the reading entitled in India using Facebook to catch scofflaw drivers"We find that Police officers created a Facebook page, where individuals who are driving recklessly are posted into that Facebook page. This Facebook page allows the Indian society to view who has been driving recklessly. One of the Dark side of social media is the fact that if a customer writes a bad review, it can ruin it for other customers which is bad for the business.
