Blog post 3: Brainstorming Questions

In this post I am brainstorming some questions I think would be interesting to ask my partner. This list of questions is of the purpose to help my partner making the screencast tour for my first project in this class. By asking these questions I think I will get a pretty good idea of how my partner sees himself on social media and what role social media plays in his life.

Questions I want to ask my partner:

1. If you would analyse yourself, what kind of identity are you trying to create on social media?

2. Do you think that this image you want to convey is received by others in the same way?

3. Do you see yourself as a different or the same person “online” as “offline”? Describe your online vs. offline life.

4. Do you sometimes feel like you don’t get your point trough on social media, if you have limited characters to use?

5. Do you sometime post things on social media “for likes”? If so, what purpose does “likes” play in your life?

6. Why do you “retweet” things on Twitter? What purpose does that play? Do you think retweeting says something about your personality?

7. Do you sometimes choose not to “retweet”, “like”, write a status or post a picture thinking of what others will think?

8. What kinds of people do you “follow” on social media? What does “following” mean to you?

9. Which social media communities do you identify yourself with? What made you “join”? And what are some actions you take within these communities?

10. Have you ever created/started a community on social media? If so, what kind of community?

11. When you “post” on social media, do you think of “how this will look in the future” for ex. Future jobs etc.?

12. Are you active (=as the term of being online) daily on social media or do you log on only sometimes? Are you an “observer” (=not taking that much action once you’re logged on) or are you “active” (=in the term of taking much action once you’re logged on)?
