Blog Social Networking





 Many social networking sites have been modified to fit the increase in companies' demands. Most companies have now resorted to hiring employees based on their social networking sites. For example, Langfitt states in "Social Networking Technology Boosts Job Recruiting" that "using Linkedin, Steckerl says he can scout a group of job candidates in just half an hour." Linkedin has been developed to categorize employees  based on their qualifications and employers for their company's  standards. Using Linkedin is like an online resume that allows you to easily let recruits know your qualification by searching you up.  While, Facebook has made it easier for employees to investigate the company they will be working, before being hired. Thus, the Facebook search feature mentioned in  the article "Facebook search- Facebook adding search features" will not only benefit Facebook users but also help businesses market their products. For example, a company will be able to market their customer  based on how "Zuckerberg promised users will be able to tailor their searches, such as by specifying music and restaurants that their friends like, or their favorite dentist." In my opinion, I believed that over time social networking sites will create a controversy where one's private social networking site such as Facebook should not be part of the hiring process.

The strong presence of new media in today's society, provides us with different ways to improve Baruch College. First I believe improving the virtual campus tour will be a great start. The current virtual tour is outdated that it does not provide enough information of the campus. The tour should be similar to a life tour in order to provide upcoming students with the real student life at Baruch. Thus, this will avoid new students from being lost in the first day of class. In addition, there needs to be a social media platform for each class. This will helps students to be more engage in the class and aware of upcoming deadlines.  Furthermore, Twitter should be use as a discussion platform instead of blackboard. Twitter, will help more students to be engage and learn from others.
