International perspective of Social Media

Social media around Manchester has some parts of it going on…

At restaurants you can see a lot of social media icons being used such as Follow us on Twitter or Like a Facebook page. The two social platforms are more popular than any other social platforms, which means this is the only way internationals can contacts it by. I have only seen few QR codes used within a University advertisement and magazines (couldn’t get a hang of any pictures but I do actually remember seeing them in these certain places! sorry)

By sharing information like this through social websites also explains what kind of culture around the Manchester area has from what others see about the Manchester area from other cities.

I have seen a lot of people use Check-in and also other sorts of Social platforms like ‘Foursquare’ (which I personally use my self) which is more like a feedback of the places you been to or you have checked in at so other users can see how much it is rated out of whatever and what the place is all about. This app on phones can help a person learn about the place, town, country or whatever.

This would improve and would also increase a number of buyers and traffic from all over the world.

 

 

Social Media in the Photography industry

Social Media has many advantages in the photography industry around Manchester.

There are many people out in the manchester region who love photography. These photographers show their work through a social platform such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Flickr, name it, they all show their work through these websites. The purpose for this is to connect with potential clients who would love to get professional photos taken for their special day such as, Weddings, Birthdays, or any other private to business events.

I have seen many clubs that also use Facebook to share photos with their clients from the previous nights partying as it is easier to share than getting everyone contact and sending them privately; this option would be the easiest route of all to collect pictures that are at the interest of clients.

For those who are making there way up to becoming a proffesional or just for interest uses, there are mobile apps used for mobile users, which can be taken from anywhere edited and uploaded to a social platform, to show your peice of art work.

Manchester is a creative, energetic and cosmopolitan city noted for its music scene, media links and industrial past.Manchester has many social media scenes, which has the famous Media City UK, that includes channels of Cbeebies and BBC channels as well as ITV. This place is worth visiting. Also the very famous ‘East is East’ film is made in Salford, Manchester, which has captured every ones heart as it is a very funny.

Manchester’s Social Media Scene

There are many locations around Manchester that has many social events happening which is based in anything and that is everywhere.

Photographers, car show room, fashion show, wedding exhibitions, and many other social events, they all involve some sort of media to help people get together and attend these shows. The only way it goes out to everyone is by of course sending them by social media, which can include, Facebook, Twitter to advertise their organisations!

As this is part of a project, I will be attended few events to get some work started with social media scenarios within the Manchester area. Manchester is really known for its social events, as it always has connections with all types of people and culture from all over the world, as it is multicultural so it would be exciting to see many of other events which I have not really seen!

I’m quite looking forward to this so…… Yay

SOPA and PIPA – Copyrights Online

Come on,admit it, how many times do we actually do this everyday? It has become so normal that we even forget that is it even illegal or is it a copyright?… The truth is, if one artist comes up with an idea of an image, and another person reuses that image in a different manner, it can not be considered as an illegal or copyright as this helps other people with bringing out better ideas, and without this, we wouldn’t be able to have access to internet used and today we have many social networks alike, such as Facebook, Hi5, Twitter… These websites may have one purpose, but each manages and functions in few different ways, well it is pretty obvious that one of these social network producers had help from other social network producers!!!…..This is the part where this build an understanding of how things can be made and done.

Let’s say if we all had an assignment to do at uni, and we were told to use references, and we were not allowed to copy it, how would universities or schools manage? If there was no WIKIPEDIA or GOOGLE, we would not have enough knowledge to even carry on, we would be left amazed thinking, how on earth does this damn thing work!.

My heart says as long as its done with good intention and you not EXACTLY copying anyone and your using it to broaden you mind, it should not be considered a bad thing, every little thought has been put into something but gives other a bigger imagination and create into something bigger.

Basic Elements Copy; Transform; Combine … other wise there would not be any mobile rivals, Blackberry vs Apple, O2 vs GiffGaff and etc.

Here is a Video of My mash-up which I have created with my lovely hands :p (joking I am not that vein lol)…..

Clips I used for my mashup were taken from:
