Data Visualization Blog Post

Look at your own Instagram or Facebook photos and talk about how they might affect how you are targeted by direct advertising.

Mention what kind of data your photos communicate i.e. was the photo taken with a phone? Did you add a location to the photo? Is there evidence of big data contributions in the photo? What type of ads would you receive based on the social media site that your photo is hosted on?

If you get stuck you can check out this Microsoft research on advertising: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/xjwang/icmews-wang.pdf.

We strongly suggest posting one (or a few) of your photos for context. Also don’t forget to comment on two posts, so you get credit!
