1.       Just to start off, what reasons do you use social media, and what do you get out of it?

2.       What is a metaphor you would use to describe your own personal use of social media?

(Much like Ronnie’s example of Twitter being a stream of conciousness)

3.       Are there certain aspects of your life you wouldn’t want to share on your social media? If so, what are certain things you would choose not to share?

4.       When it comes to certain sites like Twitter or Instagram, why is it so important to have a high follower to following ratio? What do you think that says about the people who find that so important?

5.       How do you portray yourself while on social media? Do you see yourself as a unique user or an average user?

(Ronnie thought of himself as a unique user, he differentiates himself from the average person using social media)

6.       What are certain communities that you belong to online? Are they discourse communities? What types of discourses might they be?

7.       How many friends do you have on Facebook? Do you know all of them?

8.       Is your audience on Facebook different from your audience on Twitter? Are there certain things you’d post on Twitter that you wouldn’t on Facebook? Why or why not?

9.       On Twitter, do you believe it is possible to truly express yourself in only 140 characters? Why or why not? Is it more limiting than other social media sites, such as Facebook?

10.   How would you feel if one day all your social media sits disappeared? Would you be able to go a week without using any of them?

11.   Other than connecting with friends and family, what other uses do people get from social media? Do you think that the uses of social media have changed over time?

12.   What’re some differences about yourself when you’re online versus when you’re offline? Do you speak your mind more when you’re behind a screen? Why or why not?
