Week 7 ① : Participating in Facebook "Travel Community" Group

-
 
As can be seen from the screenshot above, the first online community I participated for this week's assignment is a public group in Facebook called "Travel Community". In the description section, the group introduces itself as 'a place for like-minded people to engage with others that love to discuss travel.' There are 21,173 members in this group which include 4 admins and 7 moderators.
 

 
I commented to a member of the group who was concerned about whether to book a hotel room or choose Airbnb because he is going to travel internationally for the first time. From my own experience of travelling to Paris, I recommended him to choose Airbnb :)


In addition, this was a post by a new member (just like me) discussing about her brilliant idea of starting a podcast about people who have gone on an adventure to research something they are passionate about or to uncover a mystery, I definitely thought it was an amazing idea and found out that many other participants were also thinking the same way by reading the previous comments.

Week 10 : Wrapping Up

-

 The picture above is a beautiful tree of cherry blossoms which I took a year ago in Korea. Enjoy your spring everyone!    Now that the class has ended, I am uploading this final post to wrap it up. However, this might not be the last post if I keep working on it. Over 10 weeks of assignments, some of them were very easy but some of them needed more time to complete. It was a great opportunity to experience and actually use different types of social media, such as Twitter and LinkedIn. Those two media were very strange and unfamiliar at first, but now those feelings are gone. Also, I liked how people commented on each of my works and how we shared our thoughts on our class blog. Lastly, the greatest take-away of the course I think is that now I have my own personal blog. It was my first time to constantly keep up my blog with the topics that I am interested in. When I look back what I have done...

The second online group I joined is also in Facebook and the name of the group is called "California Photography." In the 'About' section, their description is "Welcome to California Photography to share photographs and memories of our Golden State." There are 6,748 members in this group and I am one of them, including 6 admins and moderators. In this community, members upload their photos that are taken in California. All of the pictures are really fascinating and make me want to grab my camera and visit that places someday! I really think the 'Recommendations' section is useful because the members in the group actually recommends that places by posting a photograph that one has taken of oneself.

Spring is coming along the way. It's already March and almost getting close to the end of quarter! On the first week of March's assignment, I am going to talk about my statistics on my personal sites I have participated so far. These sites include Facebook, Blog, LinkedIn and Twitter! Let's see one by one. On Facebook, I have posted 2 times in January and 6 times in February, and this post is going to be the first post in March. Currently I have 27 friends. Most of them are Social Media Marketing course classmates but few of them are friends from the Facebook group I joined. Also, I joined one more public group which is "PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games." Statistics are more interesting about my personal blog. Until now, 773 pageviews were made and I have 10 followers. The audience part is the most amazing. Total of 370 audiences came from United States of America which ranked the highest and it followed by Poland (210), Ukraine (50), Jap...
