For my glitch social network experiment I decided to take on one of breaches described from socialmediacollective.org. The glitch I decided to do was the oversharer. For 24 hours I was to message someone everything I was doing. For this project to get the best results it had to be someone who I hardly knew or didn\u2019t know at all. Luckily for me I had received a friend request on Friday from this woman from the Philippines who I had never met in my life. I then decided to message her a majority of what I did from 5pm on Friday to around 6pm on Saturday night. I let this woman know everything I was doing.
\nThe results I got from this experiment were just a few replies. When I started to send the messages to her she initially didn\u2019t reply to any of them. After sending five messages she then replied with a thumbs up and said, \u201c Sorry but I\u2019m not asking what ur doing.\u201d I didn\u2019t reply to that with an answer and I continued to share with her what I was doing at that moment. She didn\u2019t respond to me again until I told he I was brushing my teeth. She then replied by saying \u201cOkay U may brush ur teeth.\u201d I then let her know that I was at my internship, then leaving my internship and then said that I was back home. At that point the 24-hour period was up and I had no intention of messaging her again. Then to my surprise on Sunday morning she replied to me with a Good Morning picture.
\nI classify this as breaking the space in which messaging on social media is typically pertained to. People normally use the messaging system to talk and get to know someone. It\u2019s designed to be a space for conversation online. If someone were to actually let the others know what they were doing on Facebook all day they would most likely just leave a post and maybe tag some friends if they really wanted them to see it. I used this space as if I was posting. I was taking the actions of what one normally does when sharing some information, but instead I shared almost everything I was doing in a space normally used for conversations.
\nThis exercise has made me realize that there are certain social guidelines we follow when using parts of social networks. A social network like Facebook has many ways of using it. The messaging area of the social network is to get to know someone or keep in touch with those you already talk to on a daily basis. It\u2019s meant for having a conversation privately and not constantly telling the other person what you are doing. I think direct messaging has a type of experience attached to whoever uses it and using it for reasons other than messaging seems weird and unwelcome.
\nBy looking at the first chapter of Clay Shirky\u2019s Here Comes Everybody, this exercise helped me realize how our social interactions are determined by the ways in which they work. This reading helped me comprehend the usage of our online social experiences, while also thinking about the ways in which these situations can be used in other ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
