My blog was divided into 3 sections\u00a0this\u00a0topic:
\n1) Summarising why having an professional profile (particularly and authentic one) was important to provide some premise to the next sections
\n2) How to create one, practical advice and ideas drawing on research
\n3) Reflecting on my personal experience, as I also wanted to offer ideas which I discovered\u00a0in the midst of my profile building\u00a0which may be useful to know from the offset<\/p>\n

After posting an idea on twitter and receiving replies\u00a0I wrote\u00a0a second blog post<\/a> reflecting on the experience and expanding my original blog post ideas further, it was a really good example of peer learning and the value of social networks. The feedback from this on twitter and through comments was really positive and Christina Costa<\/a>\u00a0shared a really useful link to a theorist with very similar ideas to what I had put in my post.\u00a0 Essentially,\u00a0this lead me to expand my idea of not putting false information on professional to include also being mindful of putting up false information accidently -always find an original source and consider whether you have a confirmation bias when researching!<\/p>\n

This week I put my blog post up later than intended and I think this has had a detrimental effect on the number of comments compared to usual so I will try and put my next post up a bit quicker. Kaya<\/a>‘s comment was very positive and\u00a0she gave me some helpful advice to further my use of the ‘Wordle’ tool I mentioned. It was interesting to see the article<\/a> Laura<\/a>\u00a0linked me in reply to my comment on her blog made use of Wordle.<\/p>\n

I had some really good responses to comments I left on other peoples blogs.
\nYee-ping <\/a>and I debated the conversational aspect of twitter;\u00a0I argued the 140 character limit though concise restricted conversation, could be frustrating and required\u00a0you to switch social media platforms\u00a0make\u00a0full use of conversational opportunities\u00a0with connections but her counter argument about\u00a0the uniqueness of twitter\u00a0as a social media platform\u00a0I completely agreed with. George<\/a> also mentions on his post that ‘The power of twitter is in its concise limitations of 140 characters where a person\u2019s understanding and opinion all have to come across in a small package’.
\nI’m tending towards commenting on Laura’s blog<\/a>\u00a0as her replies to comments are generally really helpful. She draws on her own experiences well and\u00a0provides really interesting and relevant resources\/ ideas. I hadn’t considered media market trends before the article she gave me but its such a good idea. Considering how\u00a0social media platforms\u00a0might adapt, grow or decline in the future; from a business point of view it makes sense as these ideas can help inform where to invest more resources. The power of research and thinking ahead.<\/p>\n
