Great presentation! I think the most effective part of your presentation was showing how social media has the ability to spread so quickly and reach so many different people! It’s truly amazing!
How using social media to plan your next...
Imagine this: you are planning a family reunion to Disneyworld. There are a million different obstacles you have to work around: each family member may be working with a different budget, certain family members may require physical or dietary accommodations, your party consists of a wide range of ages which means you want to find activities, attractions, and events that the whole group can enjoy....
The Happiest Place On Earth!

I liked how you tied in the previous three presentations/communities with your own, with regard to “belonging” and “insider information.” That (desire for) senses of belonging and community is probably present in lots of the communities people in our class have been observing.
I definitely agree! I found it so interesting how so many of these online communites...

I thought the point that you made about having a place available to look for advice without worrying about an ulterior motive was really interesting. I feel like people tend to worry when asking the owner of something for advice on their product, or in this case place, that they’ll say something…
Whenver I say, “oh I love Disneyworld!” and people respond with...

I’m not sure why but in your presentation, I really liked the story about the girl who wasn’t sure if she’d be able to go to Disney and online bloggers tried to give her tips. It’s neat hearing how complete strangers will come together to support one another. I never knew…
I’m so glad you were able to take that away from the presentation- it was one of...

I learned many interesting facts from your storify presentation. I never even knew there were blogs discussing topics regarding Disney World. I have a question, you talked about how blogs about coupons were very popular, Do you have a funny example about how people “freaked out” on those blogs?
Actually yes! There is this one forum on theinfomouse.com that was...

fywcoyne: You said your family travels to DisneyWorld a lot, right? So have you guys utilized much of the online resources you spoke of? And what have you found most useful?
Until I started observing the online communities like theinfomouse.com and Disboards.com, my family had never really utilized these sites. However, in planning our upcoming vacation- I definitely used a...

Storify Presentation-DIS Boards
Such a fun presentation! Having also done my project on Disney Vacationing, I thought it was really interesting to compare certain observations we had and I noticed that we both used DISboards as a source!
The Office Storify
dkirkhoff:
I thought your presentation was super interesting and very unique-the concept of a Community of Practice was a great way to structure your project. The Office has experienced some recent big changes, has the activity on the fan websites changed as well?—are people more apt to post when they are pleased or upset with the show?

Great presentation! Do you think the writers of “The Big Bang Theory” ever read the forums about the show...
How Internet Algorithms are like Starbucks...
Today, after watching Eli Pariser’s TEDtalk in class, I opened up Facebook and realized I paid much more attention to the sidebar ads. I wasn’t surprised by any of the advertisements that came up. Here is a breakdown:
The Help now on DVD! = The Help is listed as one of my favorite books
Things to do in Atlanta = I’m from Atlanta
Karaoke GLEE edition = um, I’m obsessed...
Etsy Storify
erinnk:
I had never heard of Etsy, “the world’s handmade marketplace” untile your presentation today! I think it is such a great example of how social media makes us more global by being able to buy and sell from person to person and it creates such a tight community.
Sabermetrics Storify

Great presentation! I never even knew about sabermetrics! I thought the most interesting point you made was how the players and their fans can use social media sabermetrics to help their rank/salary. I also loved the video!

II I actually follow Sara Bareilles on twitter and she often tweets about the Sing-Off so it was really fun to see your presentation! Do you think the social media influences the voting ever?
