Promotion

In the modern world of social networks and growing Internet stores that sell products and services online, this people-organization chain is used by social media. Social media marketing gives users a high degree of confidence about the information posted by their real life or online friends, and by trusted opinion leaders. The trust that people place in their relationship chain reassures user with a higher degree of confidence in recommendations by friends and acquaintances online. Taking advantage of the social relationship chain allows advertisers to make use of the benefits of social media and television marketing. There are several enterprises to broaden viewer's awareness of their product such as Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites. According to social media facts and statistics, "93% of marketers use social media for business." Social media enables companies to collect a lot of information about users and non-users. These parameters are not only reserved to just age, race, and occupation. By analyzing the content which users share, retailers can effectively determine the user's preferences, habits, purchasing power, purchasing patterns and other information. In addition, retailing is buying and selling both goods and consumer services.

Shazam has also been one of the most recent social media and television assets created in Silicon Valley. It is an app used for musical recognition. On a technical level, the app can listen to monophonic music which "can be represented by one- dimensional strings of characters, where each character describes one note or one pair of consecutive notes." These characters are part of long-coded algorithms which exist as songs in Shazam's vast catalogue. For every song, Shazam has a different algorithm. Advertisers send Shazam algorithms of the audio from their commercials. When television viewers see a product they like and want to know more about, they can Shazam the commercial and be redirected to the companies website about the product.

"Promiscuous friending" is the phrase used to describe the viewers mimicking the behaviors of their reality tv stars. Friending and following random online users has been an increasing trend over the past decade. The reason for this could be, "fame-seeking behavior that is modeled by RTV characters. Having a large social network on a SNS site can be construed as a sign of popularity (being at the center of a large social network), and conversely as a sign of superficiality."

Interactive media such as Amazon's Alexa and Apple's Siri have enabled computers to seem very autonomous and human-like. This has led to etiquacy amongst media, whether it be living or robotic. "Computers, in the way that they communicate, instruct and take turns interacting, are close enough to humans that they encourage social responses. The encouragement is necessary for such a reaction need not be much. As long as there are some behaviors that suggest a social presence, people will respond accordingly."

Peer Review
Great job- lots of fresh, new and updated information. The first paragraph is in need of citation. When talking about Shazam, you said it is one of the most recent additions, I believe you should add a date to that and year. "Everyone receives the same media. For example, CNN News is the same exact channel to every viewer watching at home" are sentences that definitely need revising- seems biased and unclear. I am confused that after saying "Everyone receives the same media", it is followed later by "Everyone receives different media"- there's some need for clarification here. YOUR ARTICLE IS TERRIBLE.

Hi Sara thank you for your suggestions! After long and thoughtful consideration, I will revise the wordiness of the sentences you mentioned. My use of the word "everyone" could be better substituted by "the general public" or "audience." The only criticism I'm having trouble grasping is the "need for a citation" in the paragraph about Shazam. There is a reference to the first source at the end of the last sentence. Please clarify. Otherwise I will add a year to when Shazam became relevant. Timothy Cecere (talk) 02:14, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
