Social Media, Part Two, Analysis Activity #1, PH402

After looking at the analysis of both county’s pages, each has their own unique strengths and weaknesses. 

San Diego: San Diego’s page has a small following (17,642), relative to San Francisco’s (225,053) which is unusual because San Diego county has over two million more residents than SF. Their page posts daily, which is good and they should continue doing that, but they could post at a more optimal time (between 00-03 GMT which is 4-7pm in San Diego) to get more likes, shares and comments from their users. They also need to vary the types of posts they make, especially including more picture posts and posts with less text (ideally less than 500 words) because users engage more with those two types of posts. The San Diego page needs to interact more with other pages and create a network between county services pages - that way they can promote posts that appeal to different users with different interests. Their top post described the waiving of the adoption fee of county animal shelters for veterans and their families over the past weekend. The high level of attention to this post indicates that they could benefit from networking with a county page offering services to veterans or the pages of the county’s pet adoption shelters. They can also use more hashtags to bring in users looking for more broad search topics, that wouldn’t normally interact with their page. Compared to San Francisco’s page, they have a much higher engagement rate (SD: 4.96%; SF: 0.08) and a lot more “people talking about this” (SD: 875; SF: 199). To me, this indicates that while a lot more people like San Francisco’s page, the people who like San Diego’s page are more engaged with the content. 

San Francisco: San Francisco has a high following, but low user engagement. To increase their engagement, they definitely need to start posting more often. Right now they post 1.5 times a week on average, so followers have less opportunity to interact with their posts. If they started posting more frequently, they could also appeal to a wider audience with more varied content. San Francisco’s page does a good job of varying the types of posts they make though, they post primarily text, but also have a large proportion of photos and videos as well. Their follows respond most to photo posts, so they could even increase the frequency at which they make those posts, and post them at the optimal time (00-03GMT which is 4-7pm in San Francisco) to see even more community engagement. Their page is doing a good job of using hashtags and creating a network between other San Francisco public pages like the San Francisco County Works page and the SF Emergency Management page. The analysis also suggests using the Milestone feature more. They’ve used it once, but it could be a great way to create buzz about public projects and things that are happening in the city because based on SF’s top post, that is what is being commented on and shared most by it’s likers.

I agree with you that each county in California have unique and different aspect. As you said san Diego County page needs to interact more with other pages and create a network between county services pages. However, San Francisco page have more followers than San Diego because it’s a big city, but the people who like San Diego’s page are more engaged with the content. Both county doing a great job by providing news and activities to make it better county. As you mentioned before San Diego have less follower, but more engagement and San Diego is conversely because I think san Diego county trying to provide more activity and news about the county each day such as animals, health, and safety.

Social Media, Analysis #1, Research Activity, PH 402

When comparing San Diego and San Francisco County’s top 5 Facebook posts, the first thing I noticed is that San Diego had more posts that were updated recently in their top 5 than San Francisco had.  More people liked San Diego County’s posts within the past month than within the San Francisco community. Another thing I noticed right away was that San Francisco’s top liked posts were more community involved versus individually involved posts. Something that San Diego can work on is posting more about what the community is doing at any given time. San Diego has some great community aspects around it such as Petco park and the Padres Foundation, Quartyard in the Downtown area, multiple dog parks, and lots of craft breweries that love to honor themselves. There are multiple events going on at any given week and San Diego would be at an advantage if they posted more about what the community it doing around it. San Francisco on the other hand didn’t have as many likes or share as San Diego did. It would be beneficial of them to possibly post things at a critical time or hour to gain more attention from the Facebook user.  If San Francisco could improve their likes, comments and share rate, the articles are more likely to pop up more frequently on a persons page as advertisement. One thing that San Francisco had on San Diego was a high character count per article. This can be a benefit or a downfall to gaining attention of a reader. Some people prefer an article to be short and sweet and others like tons of details. I think it would be beneficial for San Diego to vary their article size more often. It might attract other readers and thus encouraging more likes, comments and shares. One final thing the County of San Francisco can improve on is how frequently they post. In comparison to San Diego, the County of San Francisco post almost half as much as San Diego does. This relates to videos, links, articles etc. If they could increase how often they post it would increase the viral activity among their community.

I agree with you each county have different information and rules. In addition, each county has presentable number to present the county which is 49 for san Francisco and 52 for San Diego. In addition, each county has provided specific information about each city such as newest news and relevant information about each county.  I agree with you that San Francisco could improve their likes, comments and share rate and san Diego county also could improve their work by providing more information about health. I think I think each county should continue doing the same thing by keeping all the information up to date whether about health or about education.

I really like the two county after reviewing each one. Each county is different and same in the same time, both of these county trying to improve their city by providing links, posts, and recommendation. The difference between these two county that each one present different county such as county of San Diego and county of San Francisco.  However, each county has presentable number to present the county which is 49 for San Francisco and 52 for San Diego. In addition, each county has provided specific information about each city such as newest news and relevant information about each county.  

I think they doing better by providing information about each county whether about health, new, or education.  In addition, each county provides newest information and updates in general way about how to improve them county. What I think they should continue doing is keeping all the information up to date whether about health or about education.  

Each county is doing a great job, but I think county of San Diego is doing a better job than San Francisco because county of San Diego providing more and important information about health and news such as votes, avoiding mosquitoes. However, the good thing that San Francisco county provide better than San Diego County is proving more information about social media fair street and film festival.

The five recommendation per city of san Diego are proving educated information about school roles and how to improve student life, provide more health information about vaccinations and describe how important it is, third providing about environment and how to reduce climate change, also, provide information how smoking is bad for health for both smoker and nonsmoker such as second hand smoker. Last provide information about alcohol and drug and how to work hard to reduce the amount of drug use in San Diego county.

The other five recommendations for San Francisco county is providing information about the newest environment problem which is earthquake and educate people how to prevent being injured or death. The second thing is to provide information about how to reduce health problem such as HIV/ Adis. The third recommendation is to also provide information about how to improve school and education. the fourth recommendation is to provide information on their page to reduce the emission of CO2. Last and not least is visiting schools and colleges to educate students about health in general.

The ad shown above is using a front door/central route approach. Throughout its add it is using real data and showing people in dollar amount how much it takes to raise a child by the bare minimum. The mood of this ad is serious and will get people talking about how they can prevent or prepare for unexpected pregnancies. 

http://img.tyt.by/n/04/6/socreklama_ksenevich_.png

This second ad above shows a back door/ peripheral route approach. I find the content in the ad itself is light and engaging. However, nothing really past that. It is not sparking outrage or changing nations impact on birth control or planned pregnancies. 

[the-queenr-blog]

I agree with you I have put frontddor approach for the first picture because it more involvement with the issue of having children s at early ages. This ad using frontdoor approach because this ad trying to communicate the message to the audience that personally relevant of having kids and not using a birth control. However, I agree with you that the first picture is central because the ad is trying to send a message to teens of how important to use birth control. In addition, the second picture present the backdoor approach and its peripheral route with is low involvement with the topic about using birth control and not that effective.

I chose the songs War- Bob Marley and Happy Xmas(war is over) by John Lennon. The song “War” is based on their being war everywhere until we see basic human rights, equality and colorblind judgements. In the “Happy Xmas” song it’s based on wishing his listeners of all colors a happy christmas yet, reminding us of that there’s still wrong in the world. He’s reminding us that even though we are beginning a new year that the same problems and wrongs in the world will carry over to the new year. Yet, we can end this wrongs in the world and war ourselves if we really want it. I chose these two songs because even though they are different they are both goaled in motivating its listeners to believing in the possibility of a world without war, hate, discrimination and all the wrongs in it. I believe the “War” by Bob Marley is more effective than “Happy Xmas” by John Lennon. The “happy Xmas” song isn’t as in depth while, “War” is extremely persuasive to me since it speaks on many world wrongs in just its few minutes. Yet, they both use try and persuade their audiences by informing them on what could be. I do not believe either one is violating a contract.

I really like these two songs War- Bob Marley and Happy Xmas (war is over) by John Lennon. Each one of these song have different meaning that behind each song. I agree with you that the first song war is about being war everywhere until we see basic human rights, equality and colorblind judgements. However, the second song which is about happy Xmas which is even if it is new year time but the same problem of the world will be the same. Each song has different message that trying to send it to the audience.

The first and the second song that I have choose are Beds Are Burning and black man. I think these two songs have similar topics or messages which is about freedom and being free. The similar message between these two songs that both of them taking about social justice and being free in free country. The difference between these two songs that the black man talks about black people and how they want to be free and having freedom. The beds are burning talking about having a fair life, which is protest song in support of giving native Australian lands back to the Pintupi, who were among the very last people to come in from the desert. The primary goal of black man song is about having freedom. However, the foal of the second song is also to support giving land back to pintupi. Each song is effective because it trying to make people feel and understand what happing by listing to these songs. However, I don’t think these two songs are violating a contract because each song has message that want to be send to the people.

-          Sell (human body donation)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDsymJlJdss

I believe the goal of this piece is showing how important organ body donation and how it could change many people lives within a seconds. This commercial shows the sell stuff through marketing and commercial to educate people how this body donation can make difference. I think I match the intent of the piece well because the channel trying to educate and shows many people how important to register for organ donation and how it will benefit many others.

-          Inform (awareness of how important to vote)

I believe the goal of this piece is to aware many people how important to vote for this election in this newspaper. I think the destination of this piece is showing each state who vote already and the percentage of people who vote and who did not vote yet. I think this channel provide educational knowledge and information about how election is important.

-          Change behavior (rising smoking age to 21)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSwWFUTs3yM

rising the smoking age in California to 21 years old is one of the most important thing in public health. The goal of the piece is to educate people and especially young adult and teens how smoking is bad for health and how it’s the time to change the policy. The channel of this piece to show the good side of rising the age of smoking to 21 and how it will reduce many of the side effect in the future such as lung cancer.

-          Entertain (The Voice)

-          http://www.tellymix.co.uk/reality-tv/the-voice/272724-voice-uk-kids-starts-auditions-first-ever-series.html

I think the goal of Entertain is to encourage people to discover their talent and specially kids and young adults. I think the destination of this TV show is to make kids knowing what kind of talent they have and motivate them.  I think the channel match the intent of the piece as well because it’s Entertain and educational for kids in the same time.

I think the first ad used frontdoor approach because it more involvement with the issue of having children at early ages. This ad using frontdoor approach because this ad trying to communicate the message to the audience that personally relevant of having kids and not using a birth control. The first ad providing a fact that having a kid means spending thousands of money each year. However, I think the second ad used backdoor approach using low-involvement with the issue by providing a picture of a teen with weak message about having kids at this age. The second ad is not that effective about convince teens to use birth control. I think the first one is central route and the second one is peripheral route. The first ad is central route because the ad is trying to send a message to teens of how important to use birth control. The second ad is peripheral route with is low involvement with the topic about using birth control and not that effective. Also, the second ad is peripheral route because it less encourages of behavior change.

The very first thing that I think of is celebrities that endorse weight loss products, such as teas or diet pills that are suppose to make you lose weight faster with minimal work. It is clear that these people do not just take these products and magically remain thin, they are often exercising regularly and intensely but fail to mention that when they endorse these product. People then believe that these kinds of products and do things for them that they do no even do for the person advertising them. Although it allows the company to reach a large amount of their audience, once there it fails to deliver and they lose their credibility. If there was honesty among the endorser as to how much the product actually help in leu of other things, then it would make the celebrity a very appropriate channel but the misguided information leads to a lack of credibility.  

[the-queenr-blog]

I agree with you that this ad is one of the  health communication, social marketing that appears to be inappropriate to the apparent purpose of the message. many people and specially women think that they will lose weight by taking these diet pills or tea, but in reality it’s not. there are many social marking that appear these days and some people don’t understand that this is not true to loss weight. This kind of social marking affect people by not just losing their money, but they will make them depressed if they didn’t lose weight.

Any type of Texting and Driving PSA videos always make me remember to not use my phone when I’m driving. This latest PSA video has young adults discuss their reasons why they text while driving (something which I am still guilty of doing from time to time). One of the young men had asked themselves why are they even checking their phone, but still continue to do the action anyways. It’s frustrating to watch, but I’m just like these young adults who look at their phones while driving due to: boredness or FOMO (fear of missing out). The source of credibility are peers around early 20s/college years, which makes this video very relatable and provokes fear because I could potentially harm a family if I don’t stop texting while driving. After taking so many public health classes that aims to reduce the use of cell phone usage for drivers, I’ve been leaving my phone either in my backpack or the back seat to avoid wanting to look at my notifications. 

When Supersize me came out my boyfriend and I had felt disgusted about eating fast foods. Although we typically make food at home or eat healthier options when we do dine out, I can’t help but think of this documentary or reference it when I’m out with friends or family who want to eat at Jack in the Box or McDonald’s. Not saying that there is anything wrong with these restaurants and understanding that moderation is key to a healthy balanced diet, but it just was not the same after watching this documentary. If I do happen to eat at a McDonald’s I would order something from the dollar menu (small fries, 4 piece chicken nuggets) rather than a full on McDonald’s meal and super large fries which contains high levels of trans fat that is not good for your body and increases LDL cholesterol levels.  I felt that the source of the narrator, Morgan Spurlock was credible in that he was just a regular joe eating McDonald’s for a month. I have friends who eat McDonald’s almost every day as well and to see this person documenting that eating habit for a month because of his choice for the documentary is realistic than hearing a personal trainer say those foods are bad for you.

We do have same health communication messages that have helped change our behavior which is texting while driving. I think this is one of the most important health communication problem that everyone needs to improve to avoid whether having an accident or dying while using the phone. Many people don’t know or realize how dangerous is driving and texting or using their phones in general. only seconds can change person life without realizing what just happened because texting. I have learned a lot from my public heath class last semester how to avoid using my phone by creating aims and objective. I agree with you that this problem is one of the top health communication problems and people needs to learn and know how dangerous it is.

I don’t think this is an appropriate choice to choice about driving while drunk. I think this ad not present or sending the message to audience in appropriate way because the purpose of the ad is to don’t drive drunk. However, many people may see this and not get the point of this ad because she’s talk about not to drive while being drunk and having beer at the end of the ad. I don’t give a lot of credibility to this ad because it presents something and saying something else.

There are many health communication, social marketing or standard marketing piece that are inappropriate to the apparent purpose of the audience, but I will focus more on fast food advertisement. This is one of the most social marking that everyone can see these days on TV., street, and on social media. I think this is a poor choice because it has a hug influence and impact on people specially kids. First these ads are inappropriate to watch because the ad present fast food as a sex ad. However, it causes kids to buy fast food and this will lead to unhealthy habit and to obesity.

There are many health communications that helped me change my behavior and lifestyle such as stop texting while driving and sleeping more. The first health communication is stop texting; this is one of the most health communication message that helped me to save my life everyday while driving. Many people and young adult die every day because of using the phone while driving and this cause the person to day in the car and maybe another person in the other car to die too. however, ten percent of drivers aged 15 to 19 who were involved in fatal automobile accidents were reported as distracted at the time of the crashes. There are many sources that impact me to stop texting while driving such as high insurance rate, take few seconds to have an accident, and it’s illegal. the other health communication message that helped me to improve my lifestyle is eating healthy and sleeping more. Sleeping less can lead to sleep deprivation and that could lead to some chronic health problem in the future such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. All these could be cause to death too. however, what impact me to change my health communication behavior is to sleep more so I can focus more while studying to get better grade.

I agree with you both of these pictures have a strong meaning whether smoking or driving. I like both of these pictures and both of them lead to the same answer which is death. I agree with you smoking ad have more details than the driving ad, but both of these ad is the number one cause of death among youth these days. However, number one death in united states is lung cancer whether because of smoking or second hand smoking. The other image shows the difference between the two speeding 30 and 40 MPH. some people or teenager don’t see any difference between the two speeds, but in reality 10 MPH could make a difference in some people lives.

I like the advice example of HIV/ADIS. I really like the horse example for HIV/ADIS prevention. HIV prevention is one of the important topics in public health. Numbers of HIV patients is starting to increase these days specially form the 1990’s until now. I like the idea of leading people to the service, using hands-on activities involving yoga, fitness, gardening and nutrition, challenge courses, ecology, and horses to prevent HIV/ADIDS to change behavior among youth. However, I like the other example you have provide for advocacy which is talk about lung cancer and air quality for breathing. This is a good example of advocacy because it explains climate change, smoking free flight, and many other things that effect the air in general and effect human health.
