New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.


What was the last social media platform you posted to?
What was the nature of the post?
How big was your intended audience?
Did it get “likes?”
How many social media platforms do you use on a regular basis?

Female, 21
Instagram- not a selfie- small audience-4 likes-4 social media platforms
Male, 21
Tumblr-re-blog of images-big audience- no likes- 6 social media platforms
Male, 18
Re-tweet-funny video-small audience- no likes- 6 social media platforms
Male, 25
Instagram-not a selfie-small audience-7 likes-6 social media platforms

I also asked what I thought their average follower number is and all thought it was somewhere between 100-200 people.
The intent was for personal expression with the exception of the tumblr post. None of their posts were supposed to evoke any reaction, per se.
 I asked a few of my friends, who are a bit (ah-em) older.
Male, 43
Uses mostly Instagram, but does have a FB account.
Female, 44
Has tried a bunch of social media avenues, used to like Twitter, but now sticks with FB, with pics going to Instagram too.
Male, 37
Has a FB account, checks it once a month. Never posts anything.

The general answers for the questions were-it was for a small audience, selfies are stupid, and it probably got likes. They would have to check.

To be honest, I forgot what the average follower number was for them. They probably wouldn’t know without looking.

There is nothing earth shattering about my findings to be honest.


The next post will be some of the interesting things that people have done using social media and I will spend a day in the life with FB.
