Do you think you would see similar content on a competing social media platform?

Due Date: Sunday, 5/15
Social Media Analysis:
For this assignment you will analyze your social media feed. First, you will need to choose a social media platform that you frequent. Second, you will need to observe, analyze, and report on the first 20 posts on your social media feed for three consecutive days at the same time of day (total of 60 posts). You will be searching for patterns and categories of posts that come across your feed by answering the following questions:
What site have you chosen and why? What device are you using to scroll? Does this choice influence your reception of the content? If so, in what ways? What kinds of posts do you see? Are they written words, images, videos, or some combination of the three? Who is posting (friends, family, celebrities, microcelebrities, influencers)? What is the content (news, information, entertainment, an advertisement)? Be specific and describe the topic, type, and style of the content.
Do you think you would see similar content on a competing social media platform? Do you think the time of day or the day of the week has influenced what you are consuming? Does your feed overlap with the trending content on your specific social media site?
Do you think your use of the site, and other online channels, has influenced what is airing in your feed? Why and what ways?
The most important thing you can do for this assignment is describe and analyze in detail the patterns you are finding in your social media feed.
Be sure to clearly answer the above questions; you should be able to complete this assignment in around 2-3 pages. You are required to type up and hand in a digital copy via Blackboard by the above due date. Be sure to follow the following format: double-spaced, one-inch margins, 12-point Times New Roman font.
