The Power Trifecta

When scrolling through your social media feeds, it's easy to point out what kind of social media users you follow. From the ideal user to the worst of its kind, the chronic overshares, you're bound to have a melting pot on your feed.  Yet the only thing that matters is what kind of social media user you are. Things get very interesting when you put your social media use under the microscope and begin dissecting.

Born in 1994, I myself am a millennial.  I like to think I am sophisticated and well put together, in terms of social media, but some of me posts say other wise.  Although I have come a long way from the irrelevant, middle school Facebook status that usually ended in "LOL" or a smiley face made out of a colon and a capital "d," I could work on my marketing skills.

To this day, I still consider myself an "open sharer," but my openness depends on what platform I am.  For example, "I keep it clean" on Facebook because a plethora of my friends base is family, but on the other hand, my personal twitter is pretty much an open book.

My 28 day summary

I did create a PR twitter for academic purposes, and do not find myself openly sharing details under that handle.
Since enrolling in college I have seen my usage of social media remain the same, yet my posts have dropped in number.  Currently, I see my self as a power user.

Here how it breaks down:

The Power User <----- (Me)

• The Creator
• I create tweets, blog posts, events on Facebook, posts on Instagram
• The Critic
• I reply to tweets on my dashboard
• I give feedback to marketing companies

• The Joiner
• Accounts with
• twitter
• tumblr
• facbook
• instagram
• snapcaht
• vine
• pinterest
• youtube

When combing the three criteria I listed above, the perfect balance is created.  I share things that catch my eye just as much as I create my own content so there is a constant balance.

I have much to learn about social media and how to market it in a way that not only benefits myself, but that also benefit others.  Although I see myself as a power user now, I want to an improvement in the future.
