After this week’s reading, I found an interesting journal article
titled: The Benefits of Friends written by Brian Morrissey. He talks about how
social network websites like Facebook and Twitter can be a rich source for data
merchants. He claims that according to their customers’ sharing and communication
habits, advertisers are now made capable of searching for possible customers
utilizing social data. “Emerging advertising companies such as Media6Degrees,
33Across, and RadiumOne are licensing huge amounts of data from instant-message
clients and by sharing applications and blog services.”
In addition, I also found this instructive Ted Talk, which
was made by Juan Enriquez in 2013. He uses a metaphor of tattoo to describe the
influences and effects brought by the social media, and even the digital era. And
he uses five enlightening stories from Ancient Greek to give instructions to
deal with the situation, which is vivid and funny.
