My Interviewees on Social Media

This blog post will cover my interviewees and their presence on social media.

Linda Price

Social Media Presence: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Youtube

What do they talk about on Social Media?: On Facebook, I didn't find many posts that she wrote, mostly she posted pictures of her and her friends. Her Twitter account was very professional and she posts links to other articles on politics and business. I didn't see many of her own tweets with opinions, only links to news articles. I learned that she mostly has social media accounts for business purposes, besides Facebook, her work life and social media life are intertwined.

How do they differ on Social Media as opposed to their Published Writings?: Linda Price's social media was mostly professional. Her Facebook was the most casual but everything else was about news, her work, or watching her talks. They were obviously less casual than a research paper or a book, but they were still scholarly.

Trish Winter-Hunt

Social Media Presence: Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+

What do they talk about on Social Media?: On social media like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, she posts what a normal person would put on those. She talks about her kids a lot and posts her opinions and just personal things that aren't tied really to school or work. On LinkedIn and Google+ however, they are much more professional and about her work life. I learned that she loves to talk about her kids and she likes to keep her personal life and work life separate. I also learned that she knows where to post her social life and where to post her professional life, which is a very important thing.

How do they differ on Social Media as opposed to their Published Writings?: Because I couldn't find and of her published writings online, I cannot compare them to her social media postings. However, because her social media is so relaxed, I could guess that would write more professional in published articles than social media.
