Social Media Etiquette Project

Here is the link to my Social Media Project. I chose to do the project on the controversial tweet about Kim Kardashian West naming her new ShapeWear company, Kimono.

  1. Hi Rosie! I myself follow Kim Kardashian on twitter and Instagram. I have been seeing a lot of all her newer products coming out, but I somehow missed this tweet. I find it very interesting that after the controversy she still refused to change the name. I really liked the way you presented this project as well. You completely explained the situation instead of reading off the slide. It shows how much time and work went into the project. Also I love the meme you put with this on your blog!

  2. I enjoyed how your project got right to the point. You also perfectly addressed why naming something after another culture's traditions is a problem, especially when someone like Kim has such a huge audience. It is disgusting to believe that someone else would think taking a name like that would be okay. Great job.

  3. Hi Rosie!
    I typically follow the Kardashian family and remember this controversial topic over the summer. I feel as if the situation could have been handled much better. She could have took into more consideration about other people's beliefs and cultures. It is so easy just to change the name of something, especially since she has a wide variety of fans.

  4. Hi Rosie! This controversial topic is fairly new. I wasn't aware Kim was contacted asking to change the name of the company, but I am glad she was. The name of her brand was not respectful. I feel she did not take into consideration how everyone would perceive the name.

  5. Rosie,
    you covered the Kimono shape wear controversy very well, the discussion of how her social media influence went and how her etiquette went, was well researched. The biggest flaw in her brand obviously was the name, but next up was her lack of research that caused her to pick out this name. I agree that she had great etiquette when it came to apologizing and reacting to the public right away.

  6. Rosie,
    I remember hearing about this situation before, but never really looked into it. I think you did a really good job at explaining and describing ways that Kim could have avoided the situation completely.

  7. Rosie,
    I do not remember hearing about this situation but so much goes on with their entire family it is hard to keep up sometimes. I believe that Kim should have really looked more into this before it happened. She should have thought about others cultures before she did this also. She did a good job with addressing the media afterwards for an apology.
