EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.

Today I edited my summary on LinkedIn and added more information on it (major, school, hobbies, likes/dislikes). I also friend requested the people who I worked with on my last internship. I looked up companies that are looking to hire web developers like Clarity Partners LLC, Pearson, and Express Employment Professionals of Chicago - River North. I also joined the Web Designer and HTML/CSS Developer group. I updated my profile because it was out of date. Two ideas for future blog posts:

I have never used Twitter before so this assignment was somewhat difficult. Surprisingly I found that I actually enjoyed tweeting. The hardest thing I found was the character limit. I probably went over the limit on every tweet and had to edit my post several times. I think traditional coverage is more formal because you have an unlimited amount of characters and you don’t include hashtags or mentions.

Here is my twitter list. The people I chose to follow are twitter accounts that all have to do with news and technology. This will help me with my twitter assignment and give me ideas to blog about.

This post’s main use was to inform people how to boost tweet engagement using Emojis. I think it’s creative because they added an interesting statistic and included names of famous people. It only generated 10 likes and 2 shares but that’s because the article was only posted 11 hours ago.

My five blogs:
