Kaylee's Curated Pinterest Board - Facebook

Facebook, as I have previously mentioned, has always kind of eluded me. For this reason, I chose it as my Pinterest Board topic.

Perhaps one of the most interesting things about Pinterest, is the ability to post a visual representation which can add value to a follower. If a follower is interested more in a topic, they can click on the photo to access a webpage. If more information is desired, more links and related articles can often be accessed through the webpage the pin brought a follower to. Pinterest is, therefore, a prime example of a HUB model according to Douglas Lambert and Michael Frisch in Digital Curation through Information Cartography: A commentary on Oral History in the Digital Age from a Content Management Point of View (2013).

My own Pinterest board, expanding on the HUB model, uses multidimensional indexing (MDI), also known as CVS (Chinese, Vegetable, and Spicy), referring to the classification on recipes based on taste (Lambert & Frisch, 2013). In this case, the classification of my Pin is under Social media, further classified as Facebook. According to Lambert and Frisch, this will make the content easy to find by “creating filters that identify material responding to complex thematic inquiries” (2013, p. 141).

PLEASE NOTE: An error message prevented me from including a description relating to the readings on my post: “How Do I Post a Question or Poll on My Facebook Page?”. Although I knew of this error, I still wanted to include this pin for a couple of reasons. 1. I wanted to include not only the still-media such as infographics, or visual representation like the GIF, or a cover photo for a blog, but I wanted to include a video, and a tutorial on an engagement topic on a Facebook page felt relevant and necessary. 2. It allows me to discuss Text Interface, or Transcription. While Lambert & Frisch state that: “In a HUB database, we can rely on summary (and searchable) annotation for broad mapping of content and postpone transcription until a particular need arises” and that “Transcription is an option to be carefully and strategically determined” (2013, p. 149). YouTube offers transcription even in the digital world where artefacts are more accessible through visual and oral media. For writing, or comprehension purposes, I would agree that transcription can be postponed, but remains necessary to some degree, which YouTube provides a great example of.

I hope my descriptions provide enough contexts to understand why I chose the other pins that I have not mentioned here. Please let me know in the comments if they don’t, and I will happily elaborate! As a general curation purpose, this board helped me to understand and provided ideas on how to engage a Facebook page following, and I hope it helps you too!
