Hi Aaron,
ReplyDeleteI as well chose to read The Art of Social Media, Power Tips for Power Users because of how relevant this topic is in our society today. The assignment I created was similar because people need to understand the importance of social media and how to use it to its advantage. I was also surprised by how many social media sites there are and how different yet similar they all are.
