Boy Meets Girl: How Facebook Functions In Modern Romance.

There’s no denying that Facebook has had an impact on the way the younger set flirt, fall in love and break up. Now,Seventeen magazine has released a study that depicts just what kind of repercussions the social networking site has had on modern courtship.

“Teens are incredibly social, and Facebook plays a huge role in their love lives,” says Ann Shoket, editor-in-chief of Seventeenmagazine.

According to the study — which polled 10,000 guys and girls ages 16 to 21 — Facebook plays an important part in how amorous teens make a connection. Within one week of meeting a new person, 79% of people click “friend,” and after adding a new friend; 60% of people stalk their crush’s profile once a day (40% check in on their would-be soulmate several times a day). Moreover, contrary to beliefs that social networking is erroding interpersonal communication, 72% of those surveyed said that talking to someone online brings you closer to them IRL.

After Presenting my case study the last class, I found all the opinions and thoughts interesting on the subject of how teens use facebook to find love and stalk one another.

Who's Tracking My Social Media Posts?

YouTube


Having used YouTube over the last 4 years I have noticed the changes the video search engine has gone through. But none more than what stood out with the YouTube analytics. We always hear about "Oh, such and such video got a million hits!" I wondered too and then it just passed as a thought. We all moved on to the next "YouTube phenom" with two million hits.


Who's Watching?


Well- who's watching that video? What countries is your video being watched in? Who likes it and who dislikes it? What demographic of users are watching your video? When onwards did your video start getting attention? These were all questions that remained unanswered till YouTube inserted the "Like and Dislike" button under every video be it user generated or sponsored ones. So now we know how much of an audience our video has. Congratulations,buzz has been created!


YouTube Analytics

That was a small step. But, YouTube being smart took it to the next level. All hail analytics. The analytics on today's YouTube page is a tiny button (see picture insert below) that allows any user with a click to have all those previously mentioned questions answered in an instant. Not to mention, for corporations it comes as a huge tool to see how effective their social media campaigns are and who they might be missing.

Blog with Kean University

Kean University offers a wide range of courses which will allow Kean students to have a better understanding of social media tools.

During my experience here at Kean University, I have learned the meaning of social media along with digital writing skills.

For example, I never knew that blogging relates to social media.

The marketing and social media classes available here at Kean University are considered to be a great learning experience especially for the upcoming generation.

Personally, I would recommend this marketing course as a requirement because of how useful social media is today.

GeT ALL THE LATTEST NEWS ON HIGH SCHOOL COLLEGE AND NBA BASKETBALL

One site that i follow almosrt religiously is Rival.com It keeps me alert with all the latest news that are going around through basketball whether its is from high school at the way to the pros.

it follows the early procces of thousands of prospects as they go though the process of recruitment to colleges and the ultimately being drafted to pro teams. the web site allows users to rank these prospects and blog comments on them.

The page uses great ditigal writing to draw good attention by putting Eye-catching headlines. for example "RODLIN PIERRE HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO BE THE #1 PICK IN THIS YEARS DRAFT" just an example but the editors on this site do a great job on that. i first was involed with this website when my cousin became a national prospect years ago. then more and more of family members and friends i knew became prospects with a rivals profile. this site does a great job in tracking elite h.s. basketball players in the country and follows them though out the years on their college recruiting process and if good enough their professional playing process

over the years the site have become bigger and bigger to the point that it was purchased my Yahoo a few years ago..

increasing SEO to our blog

2 ideas that i have on increasing SEO to our blog site are

1. Using FaceBook.
Using Facebook can increase the blog SEO because of the popularity of the Facebook site. By increasing the SEO using Facebook we can set a group about our blog. (Ive seen that by doing so it comes up once you have type it on Google. i see that it comes very useful as a promotional tool for up and coming companies).

2. More Visits More Popularity.
based on my experience during my time playing basketball here at Kean University, and on our game recaps and box-score that are sent out throughout the internet i notice that the game that were more searched for was the game results that were more popular and a lot easier to find as the day progressed. So it would be wise to visit an edit our blog as mush as possible.
