 Signal Review Picture Credits: Gadgets.com      During my time using Signal, I found it to be very convenient and user friendly. It was just like WhatsApp, messenger, or even messages on iPhone. However, I read about how safe and secure Signal is. Unlike Facebook supposedly selling our info, I felt very safe using this app.  I liked the audio features, and how quickly it could send messages. I would recommend 9.7/10.  Why? While being basically the same as many messaging apps, this one is secure and you can trust it, along with some pretty cool features.

The company is moving from what they used to be (Facebook) and changing to Meta. Now, is this a good idea? I understand a lot of the population dislikes change, however, they must embrace it. Facebook would be a good game if it just represented Facebook. Now, the company provides you with companies such as Oculus, Instagram, and many others. Along with this, Facebook has plans for the new Metaverse to take off soon. This virtual world will definitely change all of our lives in one way or another. So yes, this rebrand was needed.  Photo credit: Qz

I feel as if hootsuite looks at social media too much from a marketing standpoint. While yes, that's the point of the course, nobody wants to click on a post that looks like, "Click here for the best hotel in town!" If that was the case, I could just look it up online and see much better hotels.        Credit: https://www.pictalio.com/                             

  Week #2: About Me      Welcome to the first post on Heath Bar Blogs! As you might be able to tell by the name, my name is Heath. I am 15 and a sophomore at MMI Prep School in Freeland Pennsylvania. When I am not doing hours of school work, I am either playing baseball, watching baseball, video editing, hanging out with friends and family, or just relaxing. I also love traveling and seeing the world, one day I want to step foot on every continent and see what all cultures have to offer. It is easy to want to travel when you live in a town of ten thousand in Pennsylvania. With all that being said, beware of weekly blogs about myself, baseball, traveling, anything that I can write about. So sit back and get ready for Heath Bar Blogs.
