MSTU 5003_Final Project Idea


Summary:
- In a few sentences, concisely describe what this project is about.

This project will be a portfolio website for Columbia University Chinese Soccer Team.



Inspiration:
- Why is making such a project important to you?

For me, I am a sports fan and I have paid attention to some official website for professional football clubs I like. As a manager of Columbia University Chinese Soccer team, creating and operating social media platforms like WeChat official account and Instagram account, as well as seeking for sponsorship are important parts of my daily work. For my final project of this semester, I came up with an idea of creating a portfolio website for our soccer team. This website can be regarded as a graduation gift for both my team and myself at the time I'm saying goodbye to my school days.

 I have gotten inspiration from my favorite Chinese Football Club - Beijing Sinobo Guoan FC. Here are images for this FC's official account: http://www.fcguoan.com

For the website design, I also found AC MILAN FC official website could be a good example: https://www.acmilan.com/en






 Design and Technical reference:
- Websites, tutorials you intend to follow and incorporate into your own project.
Process:
- What experiments have you tried so far? What did you like and not like about them? How did you appropriate an imagination/inspiration with concrete shapes and forms? How did you teach yourself something you didn’t know before? What are the next steps you might want to take to further develop your project? Include screencaps of what you have done so far in this section, and list out a few more steps for further action.

Session 4 Blog: Further Thoughts on Corporate Social Media Strategy

Source: conversationagent.typepad.com After reading the paper Social media? Get serious! Understanding the functional building blocks of social media, I get to know more about the social media ecology and how firms can seize this opportunity using social media to improve corporate image and profits. With the development of social media, the role of consumers changed from passive listeners to active users of the Internet. According the Fader and Winer (2012), the growth of the web of social networking has resulted in user-generated content, or UGC. By analyzing the seven building blocks of social media-- identify, conversations, sharing, presence, relationships, reputation and groups, firms can develop better strategies to monitor, understand and response to different social media activities. Moreover, learning how to harness user generated content, the corporation can reach more consumers. From the corporation’s perspective, one of the most important purpose

After adding a new friend in social media, the first thing you would like to do is to glance over the content in his or her social media account to learn more about this person. Or you establish the first impression of someone through his or her social media posts, yet you find the person is quite different from what you thought when you meet each other offline. This process of social media, to some extent, has become an effective way for us to understand and evaluate others.

Session 2 Blog: Views on Technology and Social & Communicative Aspects

Image
Source:www.business2community.com/cybersecurity Since we watched the video Web 2.0…The Web is Us/ing Us, I have been thinking about the relationship between media technology and communication content. Do we human beings define the way that the machine operates, or the technology is taking control of us? As the famous phrase puts, “the medium is the message”(Marshall McLuhan, 1967), I agree that the technologies somehow define the pattern people perceive information and how we give feedbacks. However, it doesn’t mean that we cannot adapt and use technology for our own freely determined purposes. The development of web 2.0 empowers everyone with the ability to create communication content in diversified forms, yet it also requires that we should be able to deal with the overwhelming fragmented information. Therefore, it is necessary for us to think about how we use the technology in social and communicative practice. After reading the paper Technology as Social Practice, I
