1. I tried the majority of the different social
media in order to find relevant information on my topic dealing with
anesthesia. In attempt to keep it broad, I just simply searched anesthesia to
see what would come up. Facebook and Twitter were not very successful. A great
deal of posts came up relating to anesthesia, but nothing medically relevant. Reddit
and Newsvine were a little more productive in my research, but still nothing
that really sparked my interest in the way of research.
2. The Social Medias that I use on a regular basis
are Facebook and Pinterest. Facebook is my original social media that I use to
keep in touch with people who I do not see on a regular basis. It gives me a
way of seeing how their lives are going that I normally wouldn’t get to see
through just a phone call or text message. It is also a way of learning about
new friends whom you do not know much about yet. Pinterest is my new favorite
social media. It is a community of mainly woman where ideas, pictures, jokes,
fashion, and more are shared through people’s “pinboards” on their personal
profile.
