I thought the mandatory social media accounts we were required to create helped us understand the importance and how enjoyable each were. I wasn’t really involved in Twitter or Tumblr before this class, and now I find myself checking both on a regular basis.

I thought the...

Vine lets people shoot and share six-second looped videos, similiar to apps such as Socialcam, Viddy, or even Instagram-for-video, but it is entirely different. It’s a code that unlocks creativity in six-second bursts, a powerful tool for real-time journalism, an entirely new art form. According to this article, the most interesting thing about Vine hasn’t been fully established yet, and it is already a trending craze in the social media sphere. There’s no way to edit your footage, no filters, no red “record” button. No play button, even. It’s touch to shoot; scroll to play, so controversy has already rose over this app. The corruption spread throughout Vine like pornography material, and inappropriate images with drugs, alcohol leave Vine in a serious and urgent filtering revision. This lack of legal restraints leaves many social and political issues for Vine and it’s reputation. Images and information that leak instantly are always a governmental issue, and the privacy of certain events that are shown can negatively affect the future of Vine’s success if it isn’t dealt with in a timely and effective manner. This app is inevitably growing at a fast pace, and the success of it relies on legal and appropriate privacy standards placed in the terms and conditions, and if it isn’t, Vine could just end up being categorized as a novelty that could have been.

This article posted in on The Washington Posts website illustrates how consumed and engaged our society has become with regard to social media. Attending the White House correspondents dinner is something so prestigious and remarkable to be a part of, wouldn’t you think the people would live in the moment and take in the opportunity of being there? Not so much. Tweets and posts of pictures of celebrities and others who attended dominated Facebook and Twitter news feeds throughout the night. Comedian Conan O’Brien pokes fun, but raises a good point of how our society is too consumed in social media by saying, ““please use the hashtag #incapableoflivinginthemoment.” Although there were no comments about the article, I think we can all learn something from this. No matter how minuscule or major an event may be, you can always be assured that our society will tweet, post, blog, and re-blog it’s significance, or lack thereof. Social media isn’t going anywhere, and whether we oppose or embrace the direction it’s heading toward, it is and will always be a part of our society, most likely growing further than we may like. The importance of face-to-face conversations, letters, and even phone conversations have been trampled over via social media, and as our technology expands, so too will the loss of genuine relationships we used to cherish. Sure, we gain relationships and “friends” over the internet, but some of the most memorable and life long relationships are made outside the internet. For marketers, this everlasting popularity of social media will always provide new and exciting ways to advertise products, but for society, I think we should take Conan O’Brien’s advise and live in the moment rather than glued to a computer.
