Twitter Accounts

I chose to follow up on the twitter accounts of the people whose visual media I analyzed:

 1.) Lost LeBlanc- twitter

Christian LeBlanc hasn't quite translated his YouTube and Instagram following to Twitter, though he still has a decent 12.5K followers.  Mr. LeBlanc has done a good job at keeping his page consistent with his other social media: he has a consistent headline photo that contains his logo and his profile photo is the same as his instagram.   As for his posting: LeBlanc has done a decent job at mixing original twitter content with reposts from his YouTube.  Interestingly, I noticed a collaborative campaign with Skype to promote the SkypeBot.

 2.) Monica Church- twitter

Like "Lost LeBlanc," Monica Church hasn't amassed the twitter following that she has on YouTube and Instagram, but still has a respectable 86.2K followers on Twitter.  Ms. Church has a few YouTube channels, one on travel, another on gymnastics, another on fashion, but only one Twitter page where she retweets some of her content and has a few original posts as well.  Ms. Church doesn't tweet daily, but maintains a fairly consistent stream of content, posting a few times a week.  

 3.) Thomas Allen Norman- twitter

Thomas Allen Norman hasn't translated his YouTube following into twitter.  At 545 followers, Mr. Norman appears to have abandoned his twitter, as his posts are fairly sporadic. Nonetheless, the account has a decent branding with a headline photo and a clear profile likeness of Mr. Norman.  

 4.) Cody Ko- twitter

 Cody Ko has been successful at translating his YouTube and Instagram followers to Twitter.  At 684K followers, his Twitter content is highly original, peppered in with reposts from his YouTube.  I believe that one of the reasons Ko's fans follow him no matter the forum is that his content is good- it's original, it's funny and it's relatable.  People want to hear what he has to say so they have their ears open on all of the major social media platforms.

Week 1A: My Template

Image
Ever since I was a kid I thought to myself, "simplicity of actions; complexity of mind."  Following this maxim, I chose a simple template for my blog.  I think that the dominant social media forums follow a similar idea: "simplicity of layout, complexity of content."  Indeed, I believe that social media forums like Instagram and Snapchat are successful due to their clean, streamlined, yet highly visual layouts.  In regards to my template, I plan on posting photos and short videos, accompanied by my own writing.  I believe that successful content engages the senses, sight being one of the most important.  Considering this, I look forward to creating simple, yet engaging posts using the simple layout.

Week 3: Communicating via Socials with Brands

A customer's communication with a business can end up creating an evangelist for the company, or an enemy of the brand.  I recently booked a trip to Cabo San Lucas on Alaska Air.  I was hoping to bring my surfboard and I had read a blog post that Alaska was now only charging a regular baggage fee of $25 for a checked surfboard.  I wanted to confirm that the baggage fee was indeed this low so I called.  After a short wait of a few minutes, I was pleasantly surprised to be able to speak to a representative who clearly and pleasantly answered my question.  Conversely,  a few weeks ago, I called Intuit with a question I had regarding my subscription to Quickbooks Online.  I had called Intuit before with a technical question and had been pleasantly surprised with the high level of customer service and technical knowledge.  Unfortunately, on this call, I was connected with somebody who was difficult to understand, possibly due to a language barrier.  The most disappointing part of this

Week 4: Aesthetics, Design, and Branding _ Website Analysis

Does a good website create a good brand or is it the other way around? Having recently designed a website for a startup, I enjoyed the opportunity to analyze the do's and don'ts of other sites.  I looked at 4 websites total, 2 sites to critique for problems and 2 to critique for successes.  It seemed that both pairs of sites either failed or succeeded based on how they organized and presented the relevant information. To start, let's look at 2 sites that could use some improvement.  I reviewed the two sites: www.roverp6cars.com www.gatesnfences.com Both of these sites create an information overload for viewers.  For each of the sites, the home pages are structured as if they were a page in a catalog, versus as an effective table of contents or launch point for information.  Both of these sites could benefit from having a more cleanly laid-out, better organized homepage, thus better helping visitors in their searches.  Another issue these sites suffer fr
