    I have gone through the first two chapters of the Hootsuite Social Media Course. These are my thoughts about it so far. I think the Hootsuite program is great for older individuals/ people with no clue how social media works. The program is good for people who need to be refresher/a catch up on social media marketing. However, someone who has slight experience in social media will receive very little from the class. The program seems to be a scam. You pay for basic classes. Then at the end, you can buy a certificate saying you passed. Whether or not these have any value is unknown.

Paying for a program that so far seems to offer little value, in my opinion, Hootsuite is not worth it.

Facebook is now META

Istock Image Credit: GreyParrot Facebook's rebranding to META comes off as a gross att empt to escape the past damage that Facebook has caused. Facebook does this in the wake of multiple problems.  The Facebook Files , an investigation from Wall Street Journal, detailing all of the damage that Facebook had dealt with the help of a whistleblower. Facebook's system had been helping fuel the rise in anti-vaccination campaigns. The creation of White Nationalist groups.

This is resulting in  Facebook and Instagram potentially leaving  Europe .  The attempt to transition the company to META is an attempt to align the company with future innovation in the technology market while abandoning the damaged reputa...

Social Media Advertising (Week #10)

Social media advertising is a constant. An ad needs to fill multiple appeal factors in the short time that it is present in the potential consumers' faces. This ad does it for me. I like this piece of content from Semrush as it piques my interest in their service. I did not know about Semrush before the 13 ads list. It caught my interest with the free trial of their new feature. Scrolling through their page, this struck my interest in their business. I want to use their service to see other keywords and their search volume. The content is short, it is a little joke about well-done steak enjoyers. Something soft and non-offensive to a major that gets a little chuckle. It's also creative it cashes in on an opinion that many lauds when it comes to steak. The content gives a little taste of what is viewable through their service. This piece of content works as an ad for their service.

The Youthful Intro (Week 2)

 I am Mason S. Malloy. I am a Progressive Left-Wing person. My interest in politics starts during the 2016 Presidental election. I found myself disenfranchised by both politicians in the race. Besides the disenfranchisement, I found that my pre-existing values aligned with Left-Wing values. One of passion and giving back to others. I bring the perspective of a young left-winger in the right-wing United States. I want to spread the left-wing philosophy to others.
