Interview – Capstone #4

Hi everyone,

About a week ago I did my interview with Dan Cosley, he is an Associate Professor, Information Science at Cornell. I think that I learned a lot from him and I thought he would be a good person to interview because I found an article he worked on, here is the link to the article: https://www.cis.cornell.edu/cornell-research-study-shows-how-snapchat-changing-way-we-share-information. This article also helped me come up with my main inquiry question. Here are the questions I asked:

  • How is Snapchat a different way of communicating?
  • Has Snapchat affected other communication apps and why?
  • What part of this app do people like best and what is the reason for this?
  • Is Snapchat just a temporary app/thing or do you think it will become the next iMessage?
  • What section of the app do people find most useful for communicating and why is it useful?
  • How do people use Snapchat to advertise?
  • What has helped Snapchat become so popular?
  • How do kids express themselves and communicate at the same time  through Snapchat?
  • Does Snapchat advertise on other social media platforms, which ones and why?
  • What kind of app would you consider Snapchat?

If I could do my interview with him over again I think that I would ask him questions that he would be able to answer more because some of my questions he wasn’t able to answer. My favorite question that I asked was “How is Snapchat a different way of communicating?” I liked this question because it was very powerful and there wasn’t one single response. There were a bunch of different things that contributed to answering this question and he left it for me to wrap it all up. Overall I am very happy with the interview I did and I think it went very well.

 

Interview – Capstone #3

Hello Everyone,

About two weeks ago I did my interview for Capstone. Just incase you forgot my topic is Snapchat. I interviewed Parker Collins, a digital community manger. She worked with social media as part as her work. We did the Interview over Facetime and I asked her ten questions, here they are:

  1. Which communication apps do you use the most? Why? 
  2. Which communication app do you use the most professionally? Why?
  3. How do you use Snapchat to help you with your job?
  4. What part of Snapchat helps you the most?
  5. Has the new update affected your work and if so, how?
  6. Why do you feel Snapchat is so popular?
  7. I looked up the demographics information for SnapChat and read that most users are between 18 and 34, but I know that most of my friends and my brothers’ friends use SnapChat. What accounts for that?
  8. What good things have come from using Snapchat?
  9. Has Snapchat ever crashed, the app on your device or the service itself, and if so what happened (restart work,didn’t upload a story, etc.)?
  10. What kind of attention does Snapchat draw to what you are advertising?

I think that this interview really benefit me because I learned a lot. I learned most about when she starting talking about how Snapchat and how it is an app that is in the moment. I really enjoyed hearing her answers because I had started to think about the questions and how I would answer the questions, then hearing her answers to the questions made me think about the question in deeper thought. Overall I think that I learned a lot from my interview and I think it went very well.
