The mistake:

In this page, it shows that Wenzhou Kean University is scheduled to be fully operational by 2013. As a matter of fact, WKU have already went to formal operation on April, 2014.

My revise:

I update the new information of Wenzhou Kean University. It went into fully operation in 2014.

Entry 10

Response to the Podcast "Freakonomics: "Twitter is a 2 Way Street""

As a matter of fact, most twitter users are willing to have more followers in their twitter account. But they have two options, follow it back or just follow their truly friend. Focusing on the most popular all over the world, some people follow it back to show their respect like Obama, even though it’s impossible for him to look at all the tweets. At the same time, the more followers you have, the more popular you are in the world. There is no doubt the followers is a new norm to identify if you are a public figure. For example, Justin Bieber has many followers in his twitter account. As one of the most popular figure in the pop culture, he is still marketable name and has huge commercial value. If he publishes a tweet, it will grab more attention than traditional commercial advertisement.

In China, we also have the similar tools like Sina Microblog. But the Sina Microblog platform is evolving far beyond the general concept laid down by Twitter. Sina Microblog responded by saying it will intervene and delete inactive followers regularly. So you can probably see that every major feature in the Sina Microblog exists to attract new users, retain elite users, and encourages all users to tweet more and have more fun!

     With the development of Web 2.0 and social 3.0, twitter demonstrates what problem it is in this new revolution.

What’s useful:

The useful part is that the infographic use a human body to make the content more dynamic and impressive. As for my own project, the TED Talk analyzes how your body language shapes who you are so that I want to steal this idea that using a real human body to illustrate several examples. For example, I can talk about the concrete part of our body like brain to explain why body language shapes who you are.

Not useful:

In this infographic, author tries to use the statistic to analyze the content of Ted talk but it’s not available to me because the presenter in the TED talk uses a lot of examples but not statistic.

How does this model accommodate your content?

The TED talk that I chose is talking about the body language. As far as I am concerned, I can use the human’s body to identify the reason why body languages shapes who you are. The author uses a lot of examples to prove her points. Also I can put the different examples into different body part so that I think this infograhic is a good model of my project.

My First Draft

How will your infographic accomodate your content?

The infographic accommodates content with a shape of human body. By using this human body, I can explain why the body language shapes who you are.

What will you steal from other infographics?

I want to steal the way how to organize story into infographic because I found that the presenter talked a number of examples in the TED Talk. It’s difficult to organize it in the infographic so that I need to find other infographics to learn and steal the ideas.
