What do you see when you Google your name? It can be interesting what information is associated with your name... I have already done this in previous blog posts on someone else. Check back in my February post Named Reputation (Sully). You can see that I found information on Dane through Facebook, Instagram, and Vine.  

Lets just say I am at it again…  The lucky person that I was given this time is Natalie Lovell.

FACEBOOK     https://www.facebook.com/natalie.kay.lovell?fref=ts

         I started with Facebook, first off we where not friends and I could only see her updated cover photos.  I went to the ‘About Her” section and she has either not updated anything or she has everything very secure to the outside world. She is in a group called ‘Murray Friends’ so I take it she is from Murray or somewhere close. With all the country music likes I can tell she is into that… Something we definitely don’t have in common. She likes a good chick flick such as ‘She’s The Man’.  Something we do have in common is the liking of the show the ‘Golden Girls’. I know that might be a little embarrassing to admit but I think it’s so funny with all the crude humor.  From the pictures I could see it looks like she has great parents and an older brother and a sister. There was a little girl sitting on your dads lap so she is either your parents surprise child like I was or she is one of your siblings child… or yours. Not wanting to jump to conclusions I will let your clear that up with me if you would like. 

Friend request accepted 

         Nothing had changed too much besides more pictures where available to friends. So lets see what I found! 

-For a group date you where G.I. Joes and G.I. Janes.

- For prom you either planned the black and white attire or your whole group decided to match! 

-Your hair was shoulder length in some of the photos I seen. 

- Megan Niebergall is one of your really close friends and she lives in Logan also (so maybe you both came up here to school)

         

TWITTER  

Twitter is very new to you, looks like you signed up January 15, 2015. The reason you signed up was because of a usujcom2010 class. To me it looks likes you only tweeted about things that where relevant to your class.  You are following a whole 4 people that keep your news feed I’m sure short and very sweet… (I am not a huge fan of twitter and don’t use it that much, so no judgment)

INSTAGRAM

         From what I could see was you had an updated picture with your little sister or… your child. You had no posts unless you have to be your friend to see the ones you do have. You followed 37 people and 38 where following you.  Dang that’s it- I was hoping to look at all your pictures and hash tags

LINKEDIN   https://www.linkedin.com/in/natalielovell

         This was my most beneficial platform that I gathered most of my information from. Surprising to me because I thought Insta would have been my best tool. 

         Education Background

·      Murray High- so I was correct with you being from Murray 

·      Snow College- You attended right after high school. I attended Snow also and loved it. Small campus and town, but such an awesome peer group that can be created down there. 

·      SUU – I have family in St. George, I love it down there with all the warm weather. You went on many hikes with friends I seen on Facebook and this must have been when. 

·      USU- currently attending and looks like this is your last semester. You are going to do very well in public relations with all of the Internships and group leaderships you have accomplished. 

We have one common connection and that is Gregory Kirkham. 

I hope you found out some of the interesting things that can be seen by just stocking you online. We where not friends on any platforms before this activity although I did add you after I looked through each one, so I’m sure you knew who got your name! It was fun to see the things that we had in common like attending Snow College and watching the Golden Girls. I really don’t think that little girl is your child (just to clarify). I think you are a very driven individual who has a desire to succeed in every aspect of education. 

Your Stalker Sincerely,

Letter To Cousin.

Dear Computer Savvy Cousin,

Well as you can see I am still going strong with Social Media… Not only do I live on my phone I am writing about it also. I have been recently assigned to write a brief summary on what I think professional and technical communication is. We can all give an easy answer, communication. Yea, you might want a little more depth than that… Well professional communication is anything that might be brought up in a professional manner, setting, or group. Technical communication is anything that is how the communication is transferred, coded or sent information. Well now that you know this info you can go on with your day and tell a friend, so you can sound smart to. But before you do that just know that was a well educated guess.

So here is the deal I have found some quality material on the Internet to help me out with this material.

-Techinal Communication-

            http://www.stc.org/about-stc/the-profession-all-about-technical-communication/defining-tc

            They do a really nice job defining what technical communication is so instead of me boring you, just go check it out yourself.  But note that those communicating this way are focusing on making the information usable and accessible.  Technical information is so broad but so helpful. Everyone who has social media platforms does this everyday as you post and comment information on your feed.

-Professional Communication-

            This is speaking, listening, and writing of any form. This can be done inside and outside the workplace on any device or platform. (Simple definition for those who are reading through this fast) I know that I have used professional comm. In more than just a work setting but merely something I try to focus on all the time. You want to be taken seriously so make sure that you are professional so you can be taken seriously.

Summing both of those up they do go hand in hand with one another and are something that we rely on for basically every function in todays advanced technical age.
