       Twitter ad such as these do very well because people tend to follow and retweet them, since they have a chance of gaining something from it, even if the chances are very slim. However, since it is easy to just follow the account and retweet the post(literally takes a few seconds), people tend to do it. I believe its a great way to gain followers, that is, if you have the money. The ad includes a simple image to inform the viewer about the prize of the giveaway and use simple words to inform them how they could win it. 

      Signal's biggest selling point, in my opinion, is that its a secure encrypted messaging app, which means that it is a lot safer than messaging apps like Facebook messenger, WhatsApp, Skype, etc. Signal is developed by a non-profit organization, it doesn’t try to gather a bunch of data on you or show you any advertisements. While Signal has a very familiar interface with most messaging apps on the market, it’s very different under the hood. Your conversations in Signal are end-to-end encrypted, which means that not even the owners of Signal can monitor them. Only the people in the conversation can see them. In today's time and age, due to the steadily growing number of cybercrimes, people start to take more and more precaution in protecting their private information. Which means that Signal would attract a lot people who want to take measures to protect their data. Therefore, I think Signal will have great success in the near future. 

       I think the rebranding of Facebook overall did not have that much of an impact so far. There is very little change in most of the social media that the company owns. I had already done some research about the rebranding before I took this class about why the company rebranded. Therefore, I think the rebranding of Facebook to Meta is a pretty smart move, because the if you have a company named Meta, it directly assembles itself to Metaverse, which is a network of 3D virtual worlds focused on social connection. Which I believe that as AR and VR technology grows, more people and things will become affected by it. Metaverse is considered the next big thing by a lot of people. Although Meta didn't release news of major break through in any Metaverse technology, changing its name just shows that their desire to become the  monopoly in the field of Metaverse.

       Upon find out that I had to complete this week's course work on a site I had no idea existed, I felt a bit skeptical about what it actually had to offer. Anyhow, I created an account, went through the course and it was actually pretty impressive how much I learned through in a single chapter. The website ran pretty smoothly and I was able to complete my work without much delay. I look forward to what more Hootsuite has to offer in the course, and how I can use these tactics I've learned to grow my own social media.  Social Media Communication - Free image on Pixabay

       Welcome to my blog, My name is Ivan and I'm just a Junior at BHS that's currently enrolled in the LCCC early college program. I was born in New York City, but I now live in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. I spent a good chunk of my childhood in China until I moved back to the U.S. I started attending elementary school in the U.S from third grade. At first, I felted rather alienated because I didn't speak any English, despite that, I still made friends in my first year. As time pass, I eventually became fluent in English. I've started using the internet at a young age, like most young people have in our generation. I have always been fascinated by social media and how it can be use as a tool to bring such a large amount of people together. I have used pretty much every popular social media there is and I believe I have a decent understanding of how each one of them work. As for my hobbies, I enjoy playing video games and I sometimes record and post it on sites like Y...
