Roberta Schultz on Social Media

Social media sites Dr. Schultz uses:

LinkedIn

Facebook

Twitter

What was her social media presence like?

Dr. Schultz's social media presence is quite conservative. Her Twitter account is private which leads me to think that it is mainly used to communicate only to friends and family, without being pestered by outside users. Her LinkedIn also is not public to the viewer, as it only shows a small glimpse of her profile. Most information you could find on LinkedIn can be found on her website through Eller (such as past jobs and education). Finally, her Facebook account hasn't been active in almost two years, so it is safe to conclude that Dr. Schultz is not very active on the social media scene.

How does the writing style compare to the last blog post?

Due to Dr. Schultz's lack of social media presence, I couldn't really find a correlation between her published works and her social media image. I could not a find her voice in her social media accounts so the only thing that I can really go off of was her voice in the journals. In the journals she's very concise and to the point, but that's all I could pick up. I think that because Dr. Schultz is on the older side, she isn't super involved in the social media aspect.

Sameera Peri on Social Media

Social media sites Sameera uses:

LinkedIn

Facebook

What was her social media presence like?

On Sameera's Facebook she was basically using it as a place to post pictures of her and her friends, there wasn't any kind of discussion of topics on her wall. She kind of uses Facebook as an Instagram-like place of social media, just displaying travelling images and nothing of greater detail. Her LinkedIn displayed all of her past works and involvements, which included her past job at IBM and her undergraduate education when she was an engineering student. Nothing really stood out on her LinkedIn, it's the usual and typical LinkedIn profile.

How does the writing style compare to the last blog post?

Sameera didn't have any publications so her social media presence is the only genre that we can use to see what she is like. Her social media is conservative, it doesn't really involve anything that pops out as negative or alarming, so it seems to be a pretty typical social media account. This is the only way we can view Sameera, before I meet her in the interview.
