Facebook Groups

In chapter 9  our book “Social Media for Strategic Communication” discusses shared media. Shared media involves interacting with others through a medium. Conversations usually begin through shared or linked content. Then groups may branch off from this comment. One group that I am actually apart of a group that is a fan base from a Canadian Television show called “Letterkenny.” This show focuses on three groups of people from Letterkenny, Canada. These specific groups are Farmers, Hicks, and Hockey Players. The show has acquired a fanbase across Canada and the United States. This group is called Letterkenny Degen memes. The group is dedicated to creating memes from quotes of the show or using scenes from the show. Recently the show released a new season. After about a week from the season is available on the Hulu streaming platform, the group on Facebook began discussing the season and dissected each part of each episode throughout the season. Groups like this allow for specific discussion among a central topic. Other Facebook groups may be broadened about a topic or even specified even further. Over the past year, Facebook has looked into ways to involve more of its users in Facebook Groups. The push for this is seen in creating communities revolving around centralized topics. Allowing a sense of community throughout the platform. One of the groups that Facebook sponsors are a group called Dads with Daughters. This group focuses on a specific niche of Dads with Daughters. This group allows the community to share ideas and post any struggles they may have. Each platform appears to have a niche. This I believe is the peak of Facebook and its niche for the social media industry.

    Facebook groups are always a great thing to be a part of. In fact, my hometown has its very own Facebook group. Thus, it houses a place for all the moms in the town to complain about their kid not getting enough recognition when the reality is that their kid does not deserve the recognition in the first place. The internet really is a magical place.

Escaping Reality

Well, I am a few blog posts behind and will be attempting to release 6 posts this week. Two posts each day, maybe not two today. This week is looking very hectic now that I have done this to myself. Last week got away from me having me miss a lot of what was happening around me. This week and the next few I am looking to focus on my surrounding world, ensuring I take time to stop and look around. This past week I missed the ability to relax for a bit, creating more stress than needed. Recently it has been a struggle to find a routine to follow, that allows for a little bit of free time to take that step back. Allowing time each day to reflect, listen, and just be in the environment around me helps me center myself and assists in creating a peaceful moment. With today being the first day of fall I made a deal to a friend that we would go for bike rides every weekend until it finally got too cold to go outside. This creates at least two hours of time immersed in nature and the surroundin...

Thanksgiving is Christmas' Shadow

With the holiday season quickly approaching it appears that Thanksgiving always gets the short end of the stick. With Christmas and the entire season of Winter, this holiday tends to be forgotten. Stores like Walmart, Target, Meijer, Hobby Lobby, Kroger put up Christmas decorations directly after Halloween. Fall decorations disappear after October 31, and immediately winter decorations get placed out. These decorations usually consist of Christmas trees, lights, nativity scenes, snowmen, snowflakes. All the colors change from bright reds, yellows, oranges, transitions to reds and greens . This gives Thanksgiving a very short period, specifically three days. The rule in my family has always been Thanksgiving before Christmas, in the house the Christmas season does not begin until Black Friday shopping begins. This has always been the case for our family because of downtown Cincinnati hosts a tree lighting to officially kick off the Christmas season. This has been a tradition in our ...

Beautiful Mind Records

Welcome to the more random posts on my blog. These uploads can range from new music finds that I think the readers should listen to through items that are just absolutely random. This is just how my mind works, and processes information, so buckle up cause this could be a rollercoaster. This blog will focus on musical talents and how the music industry works. Artists like Ariana Grande, Drake, Jon Bellion, Logic, etc… all work for a music label. Some of these artists venture out to create their own labels to assist other rising artists. One example of this happening is with Jon Bellion. This is my favorite musical artist to listen to, the rhythm and style of his albums are never the same and in interviews, he has stated that he would rather make music that spoke to the audience, rather than following the classic four-chord structure that allows a song to become a hit. Artists like Jon Bellion have opened a door for rising groups like Lawrence the Band. Jon used his own label, Beautiful...
