Have any of you heard of Chirp? Or, maybe some of you use it. This is a quick and easy way to share without having to turn on your Bluetooth. If you want to send a picture, notes or links, you just hit the chirp button, the sound is made and anyone using the same app may hear your chirp and receive your picture. They are possibly looking at being able to select who you want to send your chirp too, but right now, they want to keep it open like it is. I don't think I would this kind of social media, because what if it gets sent to a stranger? I haven't read much about how that doesn't happen, so I am a little confused. I do find this to be an okay platform for my NPO. As long as others have this, and you need to send out instructions, or directions or any other important information, you can just send it in a chirp and everyone can get it at one time. I would prefer e-mail or text messaging, but that's my opinion.
This is kind of interesting but at the same time I feel like it would be pretty open for anyone to see including strangers and unwanted visitors.I understand the point of getting your information out or picture to more than just one person but I feel like you said that email or some other type of private messaging would be safer. I feel that this would be a useful example of social media platform for my NPO as well but only to inform people of meetings, and events held.
ReplyDeleteAshley, this sounds like a great tool that an organization could use, but I also wouldn't want to use it for personal use. An NPO could send out whatever it wanted to everyone with this app at an event that they are hosting and it would be a good way to communicate with large numbers easily.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really cool and interesting. I think that it is kind of scary that a stranger could potentially get whatever you are sending. I also think that it is good though for large groups of people that need to have the same picture or notes. I think that any NPO could use this at any of their events.
