Good/Bad Website Smackdown

 For my good website I selected Youtube and for my bad website I selected Vimeo. These two websites are designed for one to watch and post videos.When comparing these two websites I was mainly focusing on two things- accessibility and audience. Youtube is free to watch and post videos. The user is also given an unlimited amount of videos they can post for free. Vimeo costs money to post and has different plans with restrictions on how many videos the user can post (according to the plan they selected). 


When talking about the audience Vimeo has 70 million active users. Youtube is the second most popular search engine behind Google, ringing in 2.6 billion active users. When choosing vimeo over youtube, you are losing a big chunk of potential viewers. From the perspective of someone who is going into the Public relations and Advertising field, audience is everything. When selling or promoting a product you want as many eyes as possible as these eyes belong to potential consumers. I know this would be a huge factor for me and I would want the website with a Karger number of users.

    Hi Ava, I had never heard of Vimeo before your presentation, but I will check it out. Your comparison of Vimeo versus Youtube was excellent.

    Hello Ava, thank you for sharing your 2.0 smackdown on YouTube and Vimeo. I like how you compare what makes YouTube a stand-out website more than Vimeo, such as free video posts and more feature options.

       Chapter Six of the Connected Educator  tackles the topic of personal networking. The chapter talks about how "networks help you leverage deeper connections and relationships, and from those networked relationships you grow a community of connected learners and leaders". What I thought was extremely interesting was how the chapter opens up with Sheryl talking about how networking used to be like in the early 1990s. She talks about using a science board named "Newton". I never heard of this before and I'm not sure how this science board works.      As someone who plans on entering the public relations and advertising field networking is a huge factor of my job. I am required to connect to the public and communicate through my company. Networking and creating bonds can result in huge positive results and can make or break my ability to promote/sell a product. If I have good relationships with the people I am promoting the products too, there is more likely t

    Decades ago, who would have grasped how beneficial technological aspects would be in the work place. Myself, I can say I would have not even  acknowledge this fact even twelve years ago when I was just a kid. In todays world, businesses use social media platforms such as Instagram and Tik Tok to promote their merchandise.             The Connected Educator  explains the topic of professional learning communities and the tools, skills and resources to keep these environments thriving. The Connected Educator explains how web-based technology tools can be used to connect and collaborate. Using cites such as blogs and wiki, members of these communities can transfer their learning to professional practices.      I have a passion for public relations and  advertising, despite not knowing the exact job title I wish to claim after college, I do know my job will lay within that field. Chapter two connects to my career by discussing technology to connect. As a communications major, I am awar
