Online Reputation Assignment: Chad Artist

-

When we were introduced to the online reputation assignment, I was shocked. It was weird to me that we had to essentially stalk a person for a grade. At first when I started to research about Chad, it felt fine, but it wasn’t until I couldn’t see some of his social media sites because they were private that I felt I had reached an all time stalker status. I had to go through his girlfriend’s social media accounts so I could find out more information about him, and then I found myself invested in finding out more information about them as a couple. It was just this spiral of digging for more and more information, and by the end of it I felt kind of icky. I felt like I had invaded someone’s else’s life, which I guess I did, just without them knowing. Anyway here are the trends and patterns I found about Chad Artist based off my stalker findings.
Chad Artist is a junior at Utah State University. He is originally from California, but moved to Logan, Utah at some point. Chad went to Logan High School where he was on football team. He was recruited by Matt Wells who is the head coach of the Utah State University Football team. Chad committed to Utah State on a football scholarship. Based off of every single social media account, Chad loves football. The majority of his posts on Facebook and Twitter are about football. This is a common trend that is shown throughout his social media accounts. Chad also retweets and shares posts from Utah State Football, some were about him and some were about his fellow teammates or any upcoming games. On Chad’s Linked profile he also states that he is currently a student at Utah State, and that he is a student athlete, but doesn’t specify what sport.
Another trend that I found was that Chad has had a long time girlfriend named Emma. They both went to high school together, and have been dating for a while now. Emma is also a student at Utah State. What I saw based on his social media accounts is that he shows his support of his girlfriend by sharing posts that she makes. If she is involved in something he shares it on Twitter and Facebook. I thought that was very cute. Both couples also post frequently about each other on their social media accounts. The couple has taken vacations together and appear to be well acquainted with each other's families.
One other trend that I appeared on Chad’s Twitter and most commonly on his Facebook page, is his loves for dogs and cats. Chad has shared posts to support the Cache Valley Humane Society, and has also shared various posts about properly taking care of dogs as pets. I couldn’t see based off of his pictures if he has a pet of his own, but through his social media accounts, it was evident that he has a true care for animals in general. It seems to me that the safety and well being of animals is important to him.
I do apologize Chad, if you’re reading this post, if I’m making false assumptions or just being super creepy. It’s all for the assignment I promise.

Case Reflection 11: Ok Go

https://www.theverge.com/2014/6/30/5856480/ok-go-videography https://www.fastcompany.com/1578965/ok-go-ditches-label-over-youtube-embedding-rights I understand Ok Go's decision to not want to release their new music video on Youtube. With the massive increase in videos being viewed, shared, and posted on Facebook, it makes sense that Ok Go would want to release their new music video to the social media site. The rock band wanted their hard work and music to be spread at a very fast rate, and Facebook was the way to go. The mistake was the airlines posting the music video to Youtube without asking for permission before. This is what lead to a controversial situation between Ok Go, Youtube, Facebook, and the S7 Airline. The S7 Airline was somewhat greedy and selfish in the fact that they wanted to promote and advertise their own company in order to make some sort of profit. The company decided to post the video, breaking the legal contract, before Ok Go even posted it. Because of ...

Case Reflection 10: Miracle Mattress Twin Tower Sale

http://time.com/4484790/mattress-company-911-commercial/ https://www.yelp.com/biz/miracle-mattress-san-antonio I'm from San Antonio, Texas, and I never heard about the mattress company or the sale scandal. When watching the commercial, my mouth was wide open in shock the entire time. I can't believe that a company would try to market and benefit off of something so terrible that happened to our country. There are so many things that are wrong with this concept and commercial, that I couldn't even imagine why the company made this decision. The bottom line is that it is terrible what Miracle Mattress did. I think that Miracle Mattress was trying to increase their sales and profits, and with the constant need to market and advertise, they chose 9/11. There are so many other random holidays that companies choose to have sales that don't make sense, Labor Day, Memorial Day, and many other ones. I always see commercials for these holidays, but they are completely differ...

Reflection on Social Media Case 1: McDStories

-
The case of the Mcdonald’s stories were both terrifying and hilarious to read about. When reading the case summary, I could see where the executives of the multibillion dollar company was coming from when coming up with the infamous hashtag. The thing about Mcdonald's is that there are so many of them, and you can’t always rely on their food or service. Horror stories like finding hairs in their mcdoubles, or fingernails in their bigmac, I could only imagine what was going through corporates heads. What was supposed to be a beneficial and promotional hashtag turned into the decrease in sales and profit of the fast food company. When researching more about what exactly an “expert blind spot” is, I was finding many articles about teaching. According to ascd.org, The expert blind spot can be defined as teaching specific topics or skills without making clear their context in the broader fundamental structure of a field or knowledge. The CEO of Mcdonald’s was looking for a way to pro...
