Since there were no readings this week and in recognition of our pause before the final sprint to the finish line, I thought I'd share some news: I'm getting married next month! We're looking for a local honeymoon and have considered Disney World, but if anyone has any Florida-based recommendations, I'd love to hear them!

    Oh wow! Congratulations!! I'm not a big fan of the parks unless I have grandchildren in tow. My choice would be Grayton or Rosemary Beach, something quiet but the beaches are beautiful!

    Congrats! I second Rosemary Beach if you want to stay on the northing part of the state. There's also lots of cute little resorts in the Keys that are unique.

So, one of our readings this week relayed the story of Trudy and Peter Johnson-Lenz and how they used social media networking to request help following an accident that necessitated Trudy's admission to the hospital for a head injury and subsequent medical care. The part of the story that struck me most was Peter's admission that he and his wife were not much for 'schmoozing and socializing' therefore the help that they could receive from their local community was limited. Consequently, (and partly due to their careers) they were instead able to reach out to their online community to get the help they needed.  The Johnson-Lenz' situation made me think about other groups of people that may not be able to obtain help locally, and how social media networking can offer a suitable substitute. The first group that came to mind was introverts because introverts, especially those in small-town or rural areas, may benefit from enhanced social networking skills to find like-m...

Hi all,  So as I was completing the readings for this week, I had a few more questions about crowdsourcing, specifically, how it is done in a practical sense and examples of real-life benefits. To that end, I began searching articles related to past crowdsourcing efforts, leaning towards the ones that highlighted major successes or failures. I was able to find several, but I'd like to share one in particular because it illuminates how successful crowdsourcing efforts have affected our everyday lives. Have you ever wondered how Netflix knows what to recommend you, or how collective knowledge about public wi-fi has come about? It's all right here! What crowdsourcing efforts are you aware of that affect our daily lives? 5 Radically Different, Real-Life Examples of Crowdsourcing Success

 Hi all,  So, I thought I'd complete my reflection post first this week since I've been giving a lot of thought to the upcoming assignment. First, while I do think I have the hang of it and can create an adequate deliverable, I'm a little disappointed in the response/engagement rate. To provide just a bit of information about my project: I am curating a list of books that have been part of the ALA's Top Ten Most Challenged Books List. I have 22 books total; I'm posting two per day and I've increased the tags from one to two. Before I get to the end of the list I intend on having a total of four tags (which will hopefully boost engagement). I wanted to use our class tag last (#eme6414) last because I felt like including it earlier might artificially boost the engagement rate and I was curious as to what the rate for each tweet would be on its own merits.  Turns out - not much. Which is fine, I started this account for the purposes of this class and therefore any ...
