21A – Reading Reflection No. 2


1)    The book that I’ve chosen was the Art of Social Media. The argument of the book concerns the important role that social media is playing in our society nowadays. Social media is a platform that can help your business very successful.
2)    This book has a lot of connection with what I’m learning in my class. First, I can say that social media can help me even promote my future business, which is basically a free add that I will be using to make my business well known. Also, the way we are doing our assignment requires us to use a little bit of social media such as YouTube, and some video websites.
3)    An exercise I would design would be about what the students think about social.  Also, I would ask them to identify one positive effect that social can have on their future business. Also, I will ask them to do few interviews with 3 managers and report their opinions about the relationship between social media and their businesses,
4)    I was not surprised at all. The interesting thing I found is when the book was sharing about how to gain more followers and how to reply to negative reviews. I liked the fact that it was mentioned that it is better to respond to negative comments on our websites only one time. Also, it is shared in the book that in order to gain more followers, the website has to be updated by using new platforms whenever something new comes out. Thus, you will have more viewers than your competitors, which is great for your business.

  1. I agree that incorporating an exercise using social media would be good for students. Social media is a big part of most everyone's daily activities. If used correctly by a new business, social media can help it grow by gaining attention. If I were asked to use Social media as an assignment for my venture, it would cause me to brain storm creative ways to get the word out about the problem I am trying to solve. For example, I might would record video of the dangerous intersections and make the videos funny to gather a following. I would maybe challenge other followers to make their own videos about a crosswalk and @ city officials to let them know other people see this problem too.
