Its been a while and it doesn’t mean I wasn’t aware of this state, but I had to give myself some time. One can invent million of reasons to acknowledge this time, but in all honesty there is not one sole reason to explain this. Let’s just say it has been tough. Sometimes being an …

It’s been a long month. With all its hardships, I feel that I have opened up my eyes to new possibilities. Although it is fine that I have made mistakes, I feel that I am stronger and better than ever before. Although their might be not a lot of successful turns and developments within this …

Week 8 – The next step
Looking back to the start of this project I can see that social media shares an integral part to the basis of today’s current world. The different abilities that it has towards connecting and disconnecting itself, is one that has allowed me to explore within the developed work. Positive feedback from different users, has enabled …
Week 7 Being Authentic
To each and every dichotomy the beauty that social media transmits, provide certain users freedom ‘to a certain extent’ and the freedom to explore different loop holes that make this interaction unique and beautiful to engage with. As found within Howard’s Newman adventure to Amsterdam, the simple technology failure, provides us with something that …
Week 6 It is all real! PROMISE

This allowed for a better reach of people …
Week 3 followtofollow
Looking within the different possibilities to increase followers through the use of #ff #followtofollow #instafollow #instadaily where an increase of request to follow has followed the daily post feed. Similiar to the ‘motherlode and kaching’ from SIMS, the increase of followers is at reach of hand. This reminded me of this : http://kronstadt21.tumblr.com/post/59989944305/youdidwhatnow-assisi-road-by-emiliano-ponzi Where we should follow not follow …
