my topic keeps changing but i think Ive zoned into what i am really interesting in in regards to online social networking. The past two days Ive been researching some aspects of facebook and twitter, and even myspace and how businesses can use these to their advantages to get mass attention with their new products. Today i was looking online and their is actually an online course you can take through facebook to learn how to create fan-pages, groups, and show to use facebook and twitter for promotional needs. Not to long ago the founders and marketing unit of facebook held a seminar in front of a select few companies to promotes the use of their online network for promotional needs. not to mention they have recently developed sites that have a number of instructions for companies to aid in the use of online social networks for business. truly interesting and has definitely caught my attention the past 4 days!

topic

Facebook originally started out as a tool for college students to keep in touch with friends and family as they embark on their four year journey so they could still carry a piece of home with them. Now we see that it can be used as a tools for business to make money off of by promoting products on it, for high school student, and even for older adults to reunite with their high school friends. With this growth and diversity introduced under facebook more manuals are being published as a tool to understand the benefits of this online social network and how to use it to ones advantage. Some debates brought up on this subject lean towards facebook actually being a positive and productive way to promote new technology to younger audiences and if so do these manuals really help the next facebook user. Through research i have gathered a number of information on manuals offered out there. "facebook for dummies" is an actual thing and many new comers have bought this manual to help the in their experiences. Normal when we hear ____ for dummies with think computers, Shakespeare, even math and science. I feel that it is a productive way to learn new information on facebook.

Reading

What is a Multimedia author? its hard to determine what defines an author in terms of multimedia. Everyone has there own view point which is why it is difficult to determine copyrights laws within society.

Taking an example from the reading is one person writes and preforms a song, but passes away after it has been made into a hit, how do we determine is it is raging against copy right laws if someone wants to pay tribute to the person. Right now since Micheal Jackson's passing, a number of recordings artist are taking his old tracks remixing them and making them into something new as a gift and remembrance of the pop king.

Copy right laws are outrageous, quoting someone on your twitter in all actuality is technically plagiarism due to the fact that it is not properly cited but how many people would you have to penalize for these actions, a ton. Think of all the users on facebook, at one point or another every single one of them have quoted someone in their profile, status, or wall post. How do we determine the difference between the two.

I found the article interesting but in my opinion a multimedia author is someone who has been well established in a number of media forms, books, magazines, websites, blogs,and other significant new media sources. I believe that the only credible grounds for infringement on copyright laws are the ones that have been published and state all information need to process a proper citation.

Dradt of trailer

so its not great but it sure is a start

So after doing some more research i am still trying to focus in on one specific aspect to social networking, so far i am looking into the popularity aspect of it and how it has become so popular over the past couple years, i have also looked in to the age range of the popularity and why most of these sites have become so popular.
This is gonna see kinda of odd and funny but for my actual trailer i was thinking pf making a video of my friend meeting new people with a "facebook page" cut out on.. kinda of werid like is aid but i think it would be funny and also is some reason why people know each other so it makes sense in an overall bigger picture. That's all i have so far.

in class topic idea

Popularity of social networking: how fast has popularity of social networking grown. How does this affect our media ideas.
Facebook: is it a good or bad thing for the world to be connected in this aspect. Is it a good or bad concept for us to have instant messaging email, photo up load, and a profile all in one?
Plagiarism: where do we draw the line between what is our own idea and what we take from other. If i use someones quote from twitter did i plagiarize there work, the longest poem ever written taking post from twitter and using it in their poem is that plagiarism, do they contact and ask that person if they can use it or is it just a free for all. What defines plagiarism in regards to that aspect.
