Blog: Advice

I think one issue that has been circling with Baruch for many years is getting people to hangout around campus. Being that this is a commuter school people tend to just come for class and then go straight home. I would incorporate social media more heavily in the school to share what events are happening around campus, and also live stream the events so even if people are unable to come, they feel more connected with the school.

    I definitely agree that it's pretty difficult to socialize and get to know people at Baruch, especially since you probably won't meet the same people the following semester. Baruch seems to be somewhat active with social media, but there is a lack of events that are more relaxed than professional. Live streaming events would be a great way for people to feel like they are a part of a community even when they aren't physically present.

    Hello Yong Mei,
    I totally agree with the fact that it is hard to socialize at Baruch. Joining clubs would definitely be the approach here in order to meet more people at Baruch and build a network if one is willing to. A livestream is definitely resourceful when someone is unable to participate in the event physically, but still would like to know everything that is happening.

Blog: Next New

A new type of new media that currently doesn't exist is where employees from different companies come to discuss issues or anything they have at work anonymously with coworkers or competitors. We would verify they work at a company through a picture of an ID or a paystub to make sure there isn't any people lying. The reason for this type of new media would be equaling the playing field against these corporations. I know there might groups on facebook and reddit but those groups might be hard to find and also the people aren't necessarily "verified".

Blog v Wiki

I think the main difference between blogs and wiki's is that blogs share one person's idea where wiki's is a collaboration of ideas. What you post in a blog is your own idea whereas what you post on a wiki can be edited by someone else and vice versa. In the New York Times article, "Brooklyn Blog Helps Lead to Drug Raid" by Michael Wilson, blogging helped the police out, "the bloggers seemed to know, sometimes chronicling daily activities in details" this shows how blogs are one person's perspective. Both are created by individuals. One use that be used for a wiki that hasn't been done yet is posting directions. I know there is apple and google maps but sometimes they can be very difficult to read or understand and sometimes they are just wrong and at the end of the day. I rather trust a person that has been to the location tell me how to get there rather than a computer. The main issue with this and all wikis is trust. However, in the New Yo...
