Social Media and Tracking

Measure What Matters Chapter 1

Measuring social media is a necessary aspect of any organization or business that utilizes real-time and social media. Keeping track of pages, traffic and other information is vital to staying on top of what is going on and how to improve. This can be dangerous for customers. When a customer creates an account and puts their personal information on their profile it then becomes free game for companies to use when determining their target audience and finding ways to connect with customers. Nothing you put on the internet is completely private. Never put anything online that you wouldn't want a future employer to see and never put anything online that could potentially be used to steal your identity or incriminate you in any way.

My usual route is to only put necessary information and if you don't need to put it online then I don't post that information. It's just safer and easier to keep track of if I don't post things I don't have to post. I'd rather be safe and have to tell people things I haven't posted than post more than necessary and end up having someone use the information maliciously. The internet is a wonderful invention that creates tons of connections but you have to use it wisely.

Dressing Up and Getting Down

This weekend was formals for Kappa Phi. The theme was Once Upon a Time and it was great fun getting to decorate, dance and spend time with my sisters as well as my boyfriend who was able to come visit and go to formals with me. This weekend was the first time he was able to see me dressed up so it was kind of fun getting to see his reaction. He also was able to help set up for the dance which was a huge blessing and we managed to work together really well despite both of us being extremely opinionated which is a good sign. I was in charge of the center pieces for the tables and he made it a point to come over and tell me how great they looked which I really appreciated.

The day after formals I went home with my boyfriend to attend a concert he was playing in at the local community college where he lives. It was a lot of fun getting to see and hear him play for the first time and I got to spend some time with his family which was a lot of fun. My boyfriend also taught me how to play Magic over the weekend which was a lot of fun. He'd been planning to teach me for awhile but he finally got around to teaching me.

Overall this weekend was a lot of fun. The only downside was somehow my boyfriend managed to lose his phone somewhere on campus. We're not really sure how but hopefully it'll turn up as he needs the SIM card in order to upgrade to a better phone. Ironically he managed to lose his phone two days before he was able to upgrade. Here's hoping it turns up.
