Week 11 Blog

In week 11 we had our class quiz. It was grading our progress over the module. The quiz was not as difficult as I expected. I met with my group to discuss the quiz and we studied together.
In this weeks lecture we discussed trends in social media. I looked into google trends which was something we had to do before class. I had never come across Google trends before. I found it very useful and spend alot of time looking into films and music through Google trends. I found that YouTube is very prominent on Google trends. I found it fun to go through all of the trending videos.

I am a huge twitter fan however I had never heard of the advanced search for trends where you can change region so as to find what is trending in certain areas rather than worldwide! As a Twitter user I don't know how I have not come across this feature before but I will use it in future!
After watching this video on YouTube I went on to watch more videos about trending in the recommended video section on YouTube.

My group used Google trends to see if we could find anything interesting on the Paleo diet.
We had one of our final group meetings on our app. We have overcome all of our problems and the app is running well.
