Blog Post #1 Adam Schefter Twitter Page - NFL Insider

Post by: Josh DiBellonia 

 Hey everyone!

    For my first blog post, I've decided to share with you one of my most relied upon twitter pages that I usually find my self checking up on 2-3 times daily. For those of you who do not know who Adam Schefter is, he is an ESPN Senior NFL Insider and is also known as the king of releasing insider information to the general public regarding the league, its players and teams, and affiliates. As an insider, Schefter will have any news story, facts, or rumours regarding the the NFL up on his Twitter feed within a matter of seconds. 

    Something I find compelling about this specific social media page is how fast he will have important information up and on his feed for the world to see. With over 8 million followers just on twitter alone, a story is usually widely known to the public as soon as he tweets about it. As a fantasy football fan, I rely heavily on his twitter page to get key updates on players and teams that may eventually have a stake in my fantasy team. He is also in my opinion the most reliable source for when it comes to insider information regarding the NFL. There is never any doubt or skepticism about rumours and/or news if it first comes from Adam Schefter's twitter page.

    Hi Josh,
    Reading your post about this specific NFL insider reminded me of a Twitter page that I visit very often during the NHL (National Hockey League) and AHL (American Hockey League) seasons. Not only do I like to keep up with Chicago Blackhawks news (my favourite NHL team) but I also like to keep up to date with news about their AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs. Charlie Roumeliotis does a fantastic job of doing exactly this. He is a Blackhawks Insider for NBCSChicago (NBC Sports Chicago). Most recently I visited his page to check on how the prospects were doing this past weekend in Minnesota at the Tom Kurvers prospect showcase.

    Hey Josh, being in a few fantasy football leagues myself, I also use Schefty's twiter page to verify any injury reports that I hear from other sources. He truly is one of the greatest sports insiders in the business and deserves his large following. I really enjoy following a number of other NFL analysts because I love reading their live tweets over the course of the football games on Sundays. Getting their point of view on each game is something I find very enjoyable. Some of the best analysts and insiders I follow on Twitter for the purpose of these live updates are Dan Orlovsky and Ryan Clark. Being former NFL players themselves, they offer great insight into the game.

Technological Determinism in Eighth Grade

 The film Eighth Grade watched in class clearly demonstrates what Baym identifies as anxieties produced by the digital age. Technological determinism and its effects can be seen to influence Kayla's life as she struggles to navigate both her social relationships as well as her online persona. According to Baym, she states that technologies have an "imprinting" effect that transfers essential qualities onto their users and their individual psyches (Baym 29). An example of this effect is the way in which Kayla was imprinted by her social media profiles as she became adamant and eager to practice her virtual confidence in real life. Furthermore, throughout the film, it is evident that keeping up social media profiles is a norm being practiced by Kayla as well as her classmates. It is important to these kids that they are posting regularly and interacting with each other online. The effects of digital technology can be argued to be imprinted on these characters as their virtu...

International Podcasts on Youtube

Hello everyone in CS371! My name is Matthew Spina and I would like to focus my first blog post around a podcast I typically watch on Youtube called The Fellas . The U.K based podcast, hosted by Youtuber's Calfreezy and TheBurntChip, has been running for almost a year amassing over 350,000 subscribers. They primarily discuss ongoing pop culture moments happening around the world to their past life experiences while also inviting guest's onto the show to provide deeper insights into their lives. For example, these guests could range from fellow Youtuber's to watch collectors and comedians.  The Fellas  podcast is also available on multiple platforms such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify providing listeners with the ability to both view and listen to their weekly episodes.       The Fellas podcast is a great example as to how social media and social life can be intertwined while providing the ability to connect humans on a global scale. A primary example of this ...

BLOG POST 3 - Seif Amer

  In class we discussed the concept of media assemblages or media ecologies which are a collection of forms and practices that facilitate a specific media environment. A media ecology can be understood and analyzed by the use of three distinct articulations.  The articulation of focus is #3, which focuses on how the medium is brought to life, and how it is spread through a culture, community or society to best deliver the message. This means taking advantage of spatio-temporal concepts of media distribution, creation and consumption. What this means is that by spreading the message in a creative manner using space-biased media in a time where there is no internet to facilitate virality, you maximize the potential for your message to reach as many people as possible. This is what Martin Luther did with his 95 Theses collection . A book that discussed Luther’s issues with the church selling indulgences to finance the building they were using, and as a result may be considered di...
