The articles that we read got me thinking about my social media usage even though I\u2019m not super active on social media. I think the idea of a social media brand is a concept about someone\u2019s perception about a user on different platforms of social media. My social media presence isn\u2019t very active although I do like pictures constantly and sometimes comment on a couple of friend\u2019s posts. I went through the different steps that each of the websites asked you to go through. I ended up changing a couple of things about my social media usage. For example, I googled myself and found pictures of me from 5th<\/sup> grade which was interesting. None of the things that popped up, one of them being a link to my posts on this sit, bothered me enough to want to delete them. I found a couple of things that showed random movie industries like the Hunger Games whose pages I had liked popped up which I went back and unliked because all of it was from middle school and my freshman year of high school. I also untagged myself from some embarrassing Instagram and facebook pictures because they were just weird and from a while ago.<\/p>\n

It was interesting looking through all my old posts and I also made it a point to delete all my posts from my first few years of high school because that was when I used to post weird status updates and clich\u00e9 quotes. I got rid of any posts that I had shared about anything controversial or political to remain as unbiased as possible on the internet. I read a while ago that many employers and colleges monitor their potential candidates\u2019 social media presence and I didn\u2019t want any posts I had made to affect a potential employer\u2019s perception of me.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think that I have a \u201cpersonal brand\u201d but I do think that if someone does come to having it, it should be maintained because it really does showcase a person\u2019s perception to the entire world which can affect a lot of things in that person\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Overall, going through all my social media helped me to refresh through my content and clean it up to make it more presentable. It was also an eye-opener to how my presence on social media has changed since freshman year of high school, four years. I\u2019m glad I had the option to do it because I don\u2019t think I would\u2019ve done it for a long time had I not gone through the articles and even this assignment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
