1. Mostly the HR problems because we pretty much know everyone that is in our town and if someone was doing something bad we would know how it was sense we know everyone in town.

mason, good job, however i think that you could have explained this better. like the use of complete sentences or talking about it more. dude you are super smart and you know it, you have the ability to do more. other than that i believe you did a great job mason.

Mason, I think that we interpreted the question differently for number 5. I this question it's asking if they should get fired for postion something on their own social media account not the businesses account. If they post something on their personal account do you still think that they should be fired? I think that if it's on their own personal account then they should not be fired.

Mason. I really like your response because you talked about some things that i didn't even think about such as Ransom. Also i like how you said that the employee should get a warning on number 5 instead of firing someone as soon as they post something because it could have been an accident, or didn't think about what they were posting.

The one of the top ten issues is #8 which is the securities issue paragraph. I think that this one is important because of the fact that lately you hear about people's facebooks getting hacked and false information being spread. That just shows you how insecure some of our popular social media sites can be.

Will, I thought that you did great at being detailed in your DQ. I agree that people should not get a bonus for promoting their business on their own social media account. If their job is to advertise then they should get paid, but if not then posting about their business should be their own choice not for pay.
will
2/10/2017 01:10:39 pm
thank you alyssa, i thought that i should have explained that because some people think that you should always get paid for doing the right thing. i think even if no one is watching you should, because if you think about it. Some one is always watching. :)
Jaden

I agree with the issue you chose about securities for the businesses in our community. I agree with how you said that they could get hacked or post information that spreads that could be bad. I also agree with how you said that if you are an adult then you should probably be smart enough to not post something inappropriate especially if you have a job.

Will, I like how descriptive you were about the disadvantages of using social media. It goes back to how you have to be responsible on social media because it could affect your work life and career. I you do anything wrong it could affect you dramatically.

thanks Teagan, i just love topics like this to write or type about. P.S. i am finally learning how to tell you and Jaden apart. yay :)

Will I think that you said this very well and I liked when you said that it could happen to anyone because it could happen to anyone. I also liked when you said that people should think about what they do on social media and what they post.

I think that Privacy/Publicity could be an issue with our local businesses. This is because with social media people might not know all the rules and requirements. If you post a picture or video of someone or of a trademark you could be violating the privacy or publicity rights of individuals. I think that people do need to worry about these issues, but not to the extent of a business. If you post something of a person you might be violating their privacy, but if you are not promoting a business then it is not as bad. I think that businesses using social media is a huge advantage. Some people don’t pay attention to commercials which means if all you do is advertise on tv then you won’t get as many viewers. If you advertise on social media then you will have more teens and adults looking at your business. Some disadvantages are that social media is used more by teens than adults, although adults do use social media there are less of them than there are of teens. Also there are many rules and requirements for businesses to post on social media. I don’t think that employees should be fired for something that they post on their own account because that is their personal account. I also don’t think that people should get a bonus for using their personal accounts to promote a business because you choose what you put on your own personal account.
Jaden
2/8/2017 03:49:56 pm
I also agree with Privacy and Publicity as a social media issue that we could have in our community businesses. I like how detailed you explained everything and I agree with what you said about how if post something about someone else you could be violating rules or privacy about someone.
Teagan
2/8/2017 03:52:09 pm
Alyssa, I agree that people don't need a bonus for using their own account to promote their business but it isn't a bad idea to use their account as long as their account doesn't give the business a bad reputation.
Sydney

Alyssa, I completely agree with what you thought was a big problem. I think that everything you said was nicely detailed. You explained each one and I agree with how you said more teens would probably be seeing the advertisements more than adults because there is just more of them that seem to use it more than the adults today do.
Jaden

I think that the most concerned social media issue with the businesses in my community is the eighth one that is on security. The banks in our community would need to have very good security because then if they put something on social media about one of their clients then it could effect that persons’ life and get information out about their account. Also if somebody was competing against one of our banks they could put stuff on social media that would be hurtful to our business. I don’t think that a single person has to worry about all of the things that a business would have to worry about because with businesses they have to worry more about if someone post a hurtful thing on their business because it affects more than one persons’ life. I think that social media would be an inappropriate way to communicate with a client or customer because they probably have their phone number from communicating with the business. Another issue that a business person would have to worry about is about what they put on their account because they could easily say something or post something that someone could use against them. I don’t think that they should fire someone from posting something because they shouldn’t be stalking their account unless they heard it from someone else then they should at least talk to them about it.
Heidi
2/10/2017 12:34:38 pm
Jaden I agree with you. I like how you said that our banks would need to have very good security because then if they put something on social media about one of their clients then it could effect that persons' life and get information out about their client.

Jaden I agree with what you said. I really like how you said that the banks would need to get really good security because the banks could post things about people's personal information everybody would know what they do.

The issue that I think is a concern for businesses in our community is our problem with privacy because Pomeroy is a small school and community so once one person finds something out it could spread like wildfire. I don’t think that this problem could affect one person the same way that it could affect a whole business because businesses could get in more trouble with privacy if something were to happen. Some advantages of social media for businesses is that businesses could use social media for advertising and they can sell stuff indirectly through social media. I think that businesses need to consider things like their ads and what is on them depending on which social media page they choose because it could offend certain people. I think that it is okay to use personal accounts to promote businesses as long as they have previously been using their accounts responsibly because if they had something bad on their account it could leave a bad reputation on the business.
Sydney
2/9/2017 08:47:47 pm
Teagan, I agree with when you said how our town is so small that it spreads like wildfire. I put in mine also that everyone hears everything. You are right, it could affect the business way worse than the person depending on what you said and how you said it. That is definitely a disadvantage and problem with our town I would say.
Brooke
2/10/2017 04:02:33 pm
Teagan, I agree with you when you said that it doesn’t just affect one person the same way it could affect a whole business. It depends on how you said it or even worded it. It could make them lose employees or destroy their business. I also put something about how small our town is in my response too.
Kelsey

I think that the Privacy/Publicity is or could be an issue with businesses. I think this because when you apply for a job and they check your social media accounts they might see something from your past that they do not like and it might make them not want to hire you. I think that people need to worry about this in every situation, not just business related. An advantage is, having a social media account for your business is helpful because you can reach out to teenagers because they do not really want to look through the newspaper or they do not want to watch commercials to find jobs. A disadvantage would be that adults do not really use social media as much as teens do so if you just advertise your job on social media then it is a possibility that some adults will not see it. If you fire someone for what is on his or her social media account then I think that it has to be something that is important, or something that is against your policy. Other than that, I do not think that an employer should fire someone over it.
Danner
2/9/2017 09:02:54 pm
I agree with you Kelsey that social media can be harmful to you if you choose to put bad things on there. A person has to keep in mind that everyone can look you up. If a business has a reputation to keep, then I think they should be able to fire a person over social media. It could make the business lose clients.
Heidi
2/10/2017 12:36:16 pm
Kelsey, I like how you said that when you apply for a job and they check your social media accounts they might see something from your past that they do not like and it might make them not want to hire you.
Sydney
2/9/2017 08:42:37 pm
I think the Privacy/Publicity is one of the main concerns. I think so because our community is so small, that we all are close and share things that shouldn’t be shared and just don’t think about it since it’s something that’s like a habit. I think that some people do have to worry about it because some people like to share everything about their life, and you could be a part of that and they could share something you didn’t want them too, or something that could get you in trouble. I think that there are good advantages to social media. One great one is that they’re able to advertise and a lot of people have social media, and more teens I would say pay attention to a lot of those things instead of the T.V. commercials, therefore helping with the business. Some disadvantages are that there are a lot of rules for the businesses to follow for advertising, and not as many adults like social media like teens today do. I think that employers shouldn’t be able to fire someone for using their personal accounts. It’s their privacy for what they want to do. I also think they shouldn’t get a bonus for posting something about their job. It’s just something they wanted to do. Maybe they deserve a thank you, but not a bonus.
Danner
2/9/2017 08:53:57 pm
I agree with what you said about Pomeroy being small and some people sharing everything. These are concerns of a small town and everyone knowing everyone. I do think though that by sharing a business on social media - it can help the business. If you work for the company and it gains a major client, that may be worth a bonus.
Danner
2/9/2017 08:47:52 pm
I think the HR problems is a concern for businesses in our community because our town is so small that we think we know everyone. You may meet the person interviewing and they may seem nice and normal but you could then go to their social media and you could see a totally different side of them. I think people have to worry about this also because if they have legal issues, they will end up showing up later in life when you are trying to get a job. If a business looks at your profile, you’ll have trouble getting hired for a job. I think it is a good idea for businesses to use social media because more and more people are getting on social media and are more likely to see it. It will also give opportunities for them to reach out to people who maybe aren’t sure about their business and maybe it will get them to go with it, and they could promote things that they are doing and have people see them. I think they should consider the privacy issue mostly because lots of peoples accounts are getting hacked into and having information getting leaked out to everyone. I think employers should provide them a bonus because maybe some of their friends didn’t know about the business and were looking for a business like that. They would look into it or if they were looking for a job and the person ended fitting the job they needed filled in just fine.
William
2/10/2017 01:08:04 pm
Danner I agree with you 100%. I really found your response intriguing. I love the part where you talk about the interviewing of someone and how they might seem normal but they are a completely different person on social media. Good job D. P.S. I liked the part about people being more likely to see your business on social media.
Gustavo
2/10/2017 01:45:43 pm
Danner, I agree with you because not everyone in our town knows everyone and if they see your profile, they might be surprised to see that your totally different than other people. I agree that businesses should use the media because now you see adults and kids on phones and that they are most likely to see the business ad.
Evan
2/10/2017 09:31:55 pm
I agree with some of what you have to say Danner. People may seem nice and normal when met formally, but when you look on social media, they can be a crook or a total freak. About the bonuses though, I don't agree. If they totally sell out on their business, it may ruin how others on social media see them, and get really annoying for your followers.
Tanner
2/10/2017 11:59:39 am
I think it is the disclosure of confidential information because that is leaking out everybody's information to people they want to. No i don't think that every person has to worry about them because not all of them are signing up for jobs online. I think they might need to consider about what they post online because if they post a whole bunch of inappropriate things the boss won't hire them. I think the employer should fire them because if they are a drug dealer and post a whole bunch of drugs on Facebook and their employer finds out then they should get fired. And I think that people should worry about what they post online to things because the employer has been watching what you are doing.

Tanner, I agree with what you have to say. Everyone should think about what might happen if they were to like or share or post something, and how they might get affected. If they don't and it is bad enough, then they should be fired, since they don't want to be associated with you.
Heidi
2/10/2017 12:30:24 pm
For our community I think that Privacy/Publicity is definitely one of the main concerns because our town is so small that everyone pretty much knows each other and we share different things with each other that we known we shouldn't share such as passwords or usernames. I think that some people don't have to worry about it because they trust people to much and think that they won't tell anyone. I think that there are some good advantages to social media. One is that you can communicate with other people like if you have plans with then you can easily contact them on messenger or Facebook or different social media apps. Some disadvantages are that there are a lot of rules for the businesses to follow for advertising. I think that employers should not be able to fire someone for using their own personal account. I also think that they shouldn't get a bonus for posting a picture on social media about their job. They should be thanked and not a big reward.

Imigin, I totally agree with you and I like how you talked about the people who have Facebook and Twitter aren’t shy about the stuff they know and sharing it. I also said something about it on my response. I also agree with you when you said that if someone were to make a fake profile it could ruin someone’s life.
Briielle
2/10/2017 01:02:44 pm
For our community I think that security is one of the top priorities when referring to social media. I say this because if the Facebook profile for the Pomeroy High School was hacked then this could reveal information that was set as private. Or if an employee’s profile was hacked as well, then this could cause problems because if the hacker were to post while posing as the employee, that employee could lose their job because they get framed. I think that everyone has to worry about this because it’s not just a business that could get a bad reputation through social media, but it’s also a problem for everyone because it could ruin your life because of a false post. I think that if an employee was doing bad things and tagged the business, that could be a disadvantage. An advantage could be maybe the business being able to recruit people and promote their business positively. Providing a bonus for employees that promote their business in a good way on social media is an okay idea, but I think that it’s fair for a business to fire employees if they showcase a bad things that they’ve done.

1. Dynamic information is a concern for businesses in our community because Wikipedia has information but on another web page, it says that Wikipedia can be edited by anyone online. Business owners might want to find information about our town and it might not be right.
Courtney
2/10/2017 01:59:42 pm
1. I think Dynamic Information is a concern because even though you can find anything you need to know on Wikipedia it isn’t always a trustworthy site. If you go to other websites and look it up you will find that Wikipedia can be edited by almost anyone at almost any time. It could be a concern for businesses because if business owners need to look something and they go to Wikipedia they might get false information.

I think that the biggest issue for businesses in our community is #9 Privacy/Publicy. I think that this is the biggest issue for our businesses in our community is because it is very easy to post something that could lead to legal issues. I don’t think that people have to worry about the same issues as businesses because there’s (most likely, may be wrong here) not as many things that could lead to legal issues. I think that some advantages of using social media to reach their customers is limited, but very good because if there was someone looking for a job in another city/town who was much more qualified for the position then they could easily contact them and see if they would be willing to take that position. I think that one issue of using social media is that if someone were to use social media they would see more information then on a resume and this isn’t particularly a bad thing but i think the problem comes when someone who could not like that person or want to hire them do to their color/religion. I think that someone should only fire an employee of they post something that could hurt business, but they should be giving a warning first and only fire them of they do it over and over while being told not to post that.
Mason
2/10/2017 10:01:17 pm
Jack what i think you did the best describing is the types of problems people my have when job owners use Facebook as a way of finding out what the person is like what type of things they do on a daily bases. Then they can just say no.
Taylor
2/10/2017 03:24:49 pm
I think that number 9, Privacy/Publicity. I think this because when someone gets tagged in something or something like that and it could reflect on how employers see you in a negative way. No I don’t think so because there is Privacy settings that you can set and stuff. I think that the advantages is that like they can post stuff about their latest stuff and get more people to see what they have and stuff and what they are. I think that some issues that a business person would have to consider before like using Social Media is that your clients will most likely be on there too and that if they are than they will see what kind of a person you are outside of your job and they might not like that and think poorly of you. I feel like giving them a bonus or firing them for something they posted on their personal accounts just depends on what they posted and what their job is. Like I don’t think they should be promoted or anything because that is not fair because what if someone that doesn’t have any accounts is a better fit for that spot but they don’t get that because someone posted on social media. If they are talking bad about their work they should get liked talked to and possibly fired but if they are promoting the business I don’t think that they should be able to be promoted. See what I mean?
Brooke
2/10/2017 03:51:48 pm
I think that the top issue out of the ten would be the Privacy/Publicity one. I think it is the top issue because we are a small town and everyone shares things that shouldn’t or wouldn’t be shared in a bigger community. We also don’t even think about it when we do it and think of it as something normal. I think some people do need to worry about it because some people like to spill everything that they know about everyone they know, and you might not like or want people to see. I think some of the advantages of using social media as a means of reaching customers are that they can advertise to teens and young adults that are using social media a lot. They also are having a better chance of getting their attention then to put it on a billboard or a commercial. Another disadvantage a business person might need to consider would be that not many adults use social media as teens do and that there are a lot of standards and rules to do this. I think that they shouldn’t be able to do so because that is their account and at least they are promoting their business not a different one.
Evan
2/10/2017 09:21:55 pm
I think the top issue with social media for business in our community is number 9, privacy/publicity. By looking at almost any social media page, you will be looking into somebody’s life, and may find information that you didn’t need to know or stuff they didn’t want you to see. I think they both have to worry about the same or similar issues. Some advantages of business using social media as a way of reaching out to customers is since everyone is always checking out social media, people will almost be sure to see what you have to say, can be used more directly, and they can hear or know about what you have to say from anywhere, not just at work. I think that an employer should be able to fire somebody for something they posted, but not be able to give them a bonus. If they were to give out bonuses for every worker that promoted their business, it would get ridiculous, and nobody would listen to or like those posts. For firing somebody, if they posted them doing something illegal, or something that you don’t want your business to be associated with, then I think it’s ok.

Evan i liked how you talked about what is right and wrongs with people using the internet for some legal reasons when using Facebook for the office and that the people in that job may just look up what the intern that may be good at the job and that they may be tagged in something that incriminates them.
