Twitter reportedly in talks to bring live NFL games and more to the Apple TV

Great News for all you football fans out there, that I know that would love to read about, so pretty much Twitter wants to have favor with you guys so they’re doing the smart “thing” and giving you live streaming of your 2016 season football coming up soon. instead of watching football streaming on you computer or whatever, you get to stream this on your TV live! So how you ask? Twitter teamed up with apple to put their app on apple TV yayy! And it gets better; you may also be able to stream college football as well. This is very important due to the fact that it has been getting harder and harder to split Tv rights between NBC, CBS, and the NFL networks. This is the perfect time for Twitter to present themselves for you guys. Even Though David Rhodes says that networks are still unsure of how to approach working with companies like Twitter.

Quote from David Rhodes:

“We, as a television news organization, and the social media platforms are sort of sizing each other up, trying to figure out what the relationship is going to be,” Rhodes told the New York Times. “Are they distributors? Are they promotional platforms? Are they creators in their own right?”

But we will see what happens right, Check out the article below to read more about it:

Can’t find any GIFs of the Olympics? That’s because they’re banned! Yayy!

So if you’re an Olympic fan and you’re in Rio enjoying yourself sipping on great drinks, listening to Samba and not only that enjoying the Olympic games live over there, and you want to share all this amazing experience with your friends and family. So you can supposedly have some great bragging rights. Well sad to say you can’t, especially for the amazing bloggers, or vloggers out there too …can’t do anything to broadcast, take pictures, live stream, GIF whatever it is that has to do with social media you cannot do.

The lovely Olympic committee(IOC) banned anyone from using any type of social media platform including GIF’s. If you do not know what a GIF is, they are short animated clips that receive heavy circulation online.

So Here is what the IOC has said in this Quote:

“The IOC’s guidelines state the following in regards to online coverage of the Olympics by media companies: “The use of Olympic Material transformed into graphic animated formats such as animated GIFs (i.e. GIFV), GFY, WebM, or short video formats such as Vines and others, is expressly prohibited.”

Of course allot social media people and USA Today thinks it is allot of BS, because to be honest it is going to be hard to band millions of people from using social media to broadcast the Olympics. But you guys read down below for the full story and tell me what you think.

How Social Media can Save Lives!!

 

Hello everyone this is your social media blogger giving you some cool topics today, ok well while I’m not feeling the best today I’m just going to be brief on this one. I read this amazing article that to be honest i which i hooked on this, only reason why I’m saying this is because, if i even knew about this program existed i would have  hooked on it years ago. Because i was a person who was drinking allot…and this article will blow your mind. And there are two ways that social media can save lives : Battling Addiction, and Preventing Suicide.

Know i know what your all thinking Social Media really? saving peoples lives really? But…No…really it does. But to be honest people in addiction issues, or suicide tendencies would benefit by reading this article or people who loves to help. So how do you ask? well Police Chef Leonard Campanello (there also another article about him as well if you click on his name) he was was very upset to hear of the fourth heroin-related death in his community in just three months. So he started reaching on Social Media with just a few simple words to addicts  “let us help you” before they became statistic.The post they said was overwhelming to him so he went to further this idea where he would team up with the mayor of Gloucester, Massachusetts to develop a program for addicts who come to the police station seeking help.Finally he able to partner with rehab centers to take allot of these addicts in for free and to assign them there personal “angel.” how he got the funding was through drug arrests.

Now what is cool Campanello took all this and shared allot of the work he did to Facebook which generated millions of clicks within days. Know because of Social Media and Campanello doing the work as of  August 2015, 109 addicts have been placed in rehab recovery, and there are addicts who are traveling from allot of places in the US to seek help. And this program is still going on up to this day you can check him out on Facebook.

Preventing Suicide:

So youth suicide continues to increase in the US right, well guess what…it’s now the 2nd leading cause of death among the ages of  10 and 24 that is very very young. According to The Jason Foundation, there are a staggering of 5,400 suicide attempts by young people in the US every day. Now they said out of 4 or five of them show signs that they are suicidal.

Now here is how social media can really save these kids lives. Following two student suicides, a California school contracted a company to monitor the social networks of its 14,000 students. which cost them more than $40,000 per year. Now whats really cool about this  service ok…it monitors social media posts for indication of suicide, cyberbullying, truancy, or threats to the campus and it provides a routine, detailed reports on posts that may indicate the need for intervention or follow-up from school faculty. School district leaders review the summary and decide whether to intervene based on the severity of the content and risk posed.Now that is awesome!!

Now you are probably asking…. well come on has this worked? Yes it has…in one case there was a student that attempt to commit suicide and because of the lovely monitoring of this program, the school was able to act quickly and intervene on the matter.Some people might believe this is an invasion of privacy and the program has had some what of issues with being controversial. But the program is totally legal, and lets be honest if it is saving lives who cares right? especially teen lives!

Social Media has been stepping up there game to saving lives, its not just hashtags and emoji s. It’s helping to make a difference for those who are seeking out help, and it lets them know that people are seeking to help the help.

You guys read the article it is amazing!

This is your Social Media Chick signing off and getting some rest! one love

How can Fashion excel on Instagram?

Hello my social media followers it is me again your lovely blogger and format with some great amazing news on how to excel your brand in social media.

So if you do not know Eve Chen who works for instagram, identifies five principles to get your fashion brand out there on social media. Which means great tips on how to increase your brand profitability on Instagram. Tada!! 

So Eva Chen believes which we all should that the internet has rewired how social media is , in a that brands have to rewrite their marketing strategies in fashion. As a fellow designer and not only that business woman I was very hooked on to this article.  Today it is all about paying less for ad pages in a magazine and more about earning attention on Facebook, tweeter,  or instagram page am I right.  And in the sense taking over the social media platform with your brand. Any who,  Eva Chen says “a picture is worth a thousand words,  and now a picture can speak to millions of people. ” I love it she has a big point.  Instagram hascomarticle 

 visual elements you can play with to make your picture pop,  and to make your brand more interesting. 

So let’s get to the good parts about five principles can help you brand on instagram: 

1. Engagement ,not followers:

In the article it states allot of brands are in the race for followers  but large followera do not help and it does not impact your business. Conversational engagment is more important. More important ” its not a numbers game” 

2. Craft a strong identity

When it comes to brand identity ( keu word) instrageam is no different to print Eva says. Online context is harder to control. She says you need to be consistent with your brand. Like my teacher always said in my brand class, you dont want people to be confused about your brand. When you have 20 different thinfa going on.

3. Authenticity wins (Nice)

Make it real, dont make it fake. People want to connect with your brand. Letting them know they can wear your stuff. Highly produce photos will not attract many people whi want to buy your clothing or what ever your marketing…it is instagram people!!

4. Cultivate a community

So this one I like because it’s kind of he same thing like number 3. People on instagram want feel like there part of something and that could be your brand.  ” digital is a conversational medium,  not a monologue. ” you want to kind of interact personally with your followers. Helps you form deeper and better relationships. 

5. Collaborate with natives 

So Eva which I totally agree says we are living in a new age where it’s about collaboration.  So true we always need the help in our businesses these days.  She says ” beyond traditional influences of marketing,  collaborations with artists who are active on instagram can result in inspiring native content that resonates on the platform.”Pretty much if the artist has like mountains of followers and you guys collaborated on something awesome that can both boost your marketing you can gain allot of hype,  sells,  followers etc.  Wow!! 

OK OK so hope you guys loves this blog whew!! ” it was allot but these are amazing tips for my fellow merchandise marketers,  fashion designers , buyers.etc. but read he article which is below you will love it!!!

Now on the #rio2016 chart, +35% feel part of a global Community because of the olympics… why this is such a big hype for Twitter? Hellooo…because globally people want to watch the Olympics,it brings people together and this is the only time that we get to really have people together….globally. 81% agree that the Olympic Games brings people there more closer and +26% of everyone is talking about the same thing all the time.Like ” when are the Olympics are going to be here?” ” What is going on right now?” I’m going crazy!Now what’s cool is 1 to 3 people pretty much tweet, Facebook, tumblr or pretty much snapchat this and use many cool hashtags, mini vids, questions, bragging.etc for there teams or country that they really love.

Now competor wise…Facebook already recently released a report to see how users can watch the game. But tweeter of course… again release research into all this already which I just exsplained.
