I believe that Starbucks way of advertising on Facebook, publicizes more than any other type of advertising. Obviously mostly everyone in America knows what Starbucks is, with the Starbucks page on Facebook it creates a way to reach out to people who are more involved with this social media site, it also helps to branch out to younger consumers. Advertising anything on Facebook is a great way to get more publicity, seeing as how they have more than 1.2 billion member profiles. The Facebook community for Starbucks has more than 27 million members, which is a larger population than most small countries. Starbucks is known for its strong coffee flavor, pricey products, and its friendly employees. Starbucks gets its Facebook members involved by running contests among cities in the U.S. and Canada. The most recent contest was to see which city was most involved, which ever city got the most votes, got the first release of this year’s pumpkin spice latte.

Distraction

 There is no doubt that social media effects the way we interact today. Social media for me is a good way to keep in touch with friends and family. I tend to find myself messaging someone on Facebook if I don't have his or her number in my phone. This is also the biggest distraction for me; we live in a world where we have technology around us at all times. When we walk around with our cell phones we are constantly connected and updated on other people’s lives through social media sites. Usually when we think about advances in technology it is considered a positive thing, but technology has its negative effects too. Often times I find that I can’t concentrate on homework, or other priorities because of the distraction of my phone, whether it’s my friends texting me or my Instagram and twitter feed. I notice the social media as a distraction. Another negative effect of social media is the cyber bullying. Kids all over the world are susceptible to this; some kids just aren't knowledgeable enough to ignore it. Privacy is another negative effect of social media, sometimes I feel like people use Facebook or Twitter to broadcast all the little details of their lives. Social media sites open up your life to strangers, nothing is private.

Hi I'm Britney Bazinet, I am currently a freshman at Westfield State University as an undeclared major. My home is on Cape Cod, where I am the eldest of five. I chose Westfield to get away from the Cape, but close enough to still see my friends and family.

I graduated from Sandwich high School in June 2013. While I was in high school I participated on the cheerleading, cross country, and track teams. Summers on the Cape were short and crowded; the most annoying thing was the tourists who don’t know how to drive.

All the time I have lived on the Cape I was actually never appreciative of it, I never knew why people liked vacationing there so often. Now being away from my home I am starting to realize why everyone loves it so much. I miss rollerblading on the canal, being able to drive five minutes down the road to go to the beach, and pushing my friends off the boardwalk while they aren't paying attention.

Oddly enough I think the thing I really miss the most is my job, I am a hostess at a pub, it’s nothing special, but the people I work with are so caring and genuinely very nice people to work with.
