How do notable individuals use social media?
I think the social media accounts of celebrities are different from the social media accounts of ordinary people. Because they have many fans, they will have a certain impact on those who follow them. So what they release is more of a voice with positive energy for society. They can also publish knowledge in some professional fields, but the purpose of publishing this knowledge is to share it with those in need rather than for money.
What are the benefits of being in the public eye and having a PLN?
The advantage of entering the public eye is that it can attract more people with the same interests and increase more people who like your content posted on social media and follow you. This will make it easier for your social media to connect with the public. For example, if the content you post is in the field of photography. Then when the content you publish is affirmed by the public, you will become a celebrity in the field of photography. You may get some opportunities and some business cooperation.
Building community with online tools provided by the employer can be limiting, what are the perceived restrictions and benefits?
I think the online community tools provided by employers are a good way to communicate with employees. On this platform, it is more about discussing some problems in daily work. Therefore, this platform can well separate your work and life. But you have to pay attention to your words, and not to work with personal emotions and say some negative words. Even if your thinking is different from other employees, you still need to pay attention to your words, because the employer will see what you say.
Delivering information in a connected society requires verifiable resources, how to build a PLN to rely on?
When we build a reliable PLN, we need to pay attention to the authenticity of the content we publish because this information is for the general public. The second is that when other people communicate, we need to verify the authenticity of other people’s identities. Doing so can also prevent online fraud and protect network security.
How do those, who are veteran storytellers, minimize risk in sharing misinformation?
When we tell a story, we must ensure the authenticity of the content, and we need to be responsible for what we say. So I think citing sources can minimize the sharing of misinformation.

I agree with your idea about authenticity! It is really important because contents are created by people. Using others’ works without giving credit is disrespectful. It may cause the internet full of misleading information.
