What i think of social media.

Social media is a great way to connect with people without being near them. However, this can lead to an argument about if it is good or not.

Some reasons why it is good is that you can talk to people who you may not be able to see everyday. Also it is a great way to arrange things which will happen in real life. Not Facebook. Also, it is a great way to publicize new products and ideas. Mainly larger brands with big profits.

Some negative reasons are that you cannot bond on Facebook. You cannot have the sense of reality in the chats. Also this can lead to cyber bullying as many people can say things on Facebook but not say it in real life.

In my opinion, I believe that Facebook can be a great way to talk but not long term. People would rather see each other in person and talk.

Promoting labels in music

What I would do to promote a record labels music is have accounts/pages dedicated to the brand. I would have small chunks of music for free as samples and maybe give out a free song if you like the page/account. This will then give a clear indication of what the target audience will be. As people can see what other things you have liked. I would sponsor other record company's to make sure people notice my company as well as listen to the songs. I would also have small advertisements on Facebook to make people aware of the brand.

What is posted on facebook?

On my Facebook feed there are many different types of media. Advertisements, songs, pictures and many others. However not many news articles get posted on Facebook. About once every 2 or 3 days. However, funny videos and advertisements for company's are very common. Everytime I look on Facebook there are always advertisements as people know that they will be seen regularly.  Music videos are hardly ever posted, unless it is by the original producer on their Facebook page.

Many people use Facebook as a way to have free advertisement. However, this may annoy people as Facebook is a social network. Using the uses and gratification theory I believe that people use media on Facebook and other social networking sites as a way to escape everyday life. I think advertisements on Facebook are essential as it gives people more things to see and enjoy.

Why do i use the internet like this?

About 80% of the time I use on the internet I'm sat around wasting time. This isn't a good thing as sometimes I cannot get myself to come off. YouTube is a very hard website to quit off. As so many new videos are released everyday. Only a small amount of time is used to actually look up facts for homework or something i can get something out of it. Overall, I think that I waste too much time on the internet
