Feedback help from the author
Hi! If anyone happens to go through my page, I'm hoping for a bit of feedback on:

Layout

 * I'm unsure on the layout at the moment...is the coloured boxes too much?
 * My TOC and the picture seem to create a lot of white space and cause extra scrolling down the page to get to the information. Is there a way I can break make it fit a bit neater?

Images

 * My Figure 1, description doesn't show up on the page, and shows up only if you place your cursor on top of it. does anyone know how to fix this? or knows if it matters?

Clarification

 * whether I am missing out on anything to properly explain/clarify ideas

Psychological Theories

 * Do I need to put in a bit more information and work on my psychological theories?

Information

 * I'm worried that my information is in 'excess' and detracting from the topic and question
 * Is my information sufficient?
 * Does it answer the case studies?

Direct quotes not referenced
It appears that that are some direct quotes from other websites on your page that are not referenced. These include: The reason so many people use online social networking is that it provides a way for people to connect. From: http://www.ukessays.com/essays/media/people-spend-over-700-billion-media-essay.php

and

Maslow used the terms Physiological, Safety, Belongingness and Love, Esteem, Self-Actualisation and Self-Transcendence needs to describe the pattern that human motivations generally move through. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is often portrayed in the shape of a pyramid with the largest, most fundamental levels of needs at the bottom and the need for self-actualisation at the top. From: http://roarlocal.com/maslows-hierarchy-social-media/

Or very little has been changed in the sentence: For example: "If you move away from friends, an online social network can help you keep in touch and it’s a great way to expand your social circle. It's the ultimate networking tool." is very similar to: http://www.life123.com/parenting/tweens-teens/social-networking/why-do-people-use-online-social-networking.shtml --N8.

 * thanks...these were just google searches to paste what I knew I was going to research so I could visually see my layout on here. I have now researched each of these topics and referenced these accordingly.--Can Rogerthat (discuss • contribs) 00:20, 21 October 2014 (UTC)



I would probably recommend putting the green case study boxes after the Overview section. It's just that things get pretty heavy before the reader even really knows much about what the page is going to be about. Plus, with very little adjustment, the Overview will flow nicely into the case study boxes. N8. (discuss • contribs) 03:36, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Last sentence in conclusion
Just had a breif run through and just noticed the last sentence seemed a bit funny. Should we word or chuck a comma in :)

Social media & Gender differences in motivation
Hi! Thank you for your comment on my discussion part of my page. I have looked at your page for some guidance as to how you're setting it out - great work! I have also put a link to your page on my 'see also section' :) Would you have any feedback for me on theories? It seems including the gender differences i've come unstuck! As all your theories are great with relation to social media, i am unsure how to relate mine! From: Social media motivation & gender!
 * Thanks :) I'm sure I came across something in my notes, i'll refer back to them and let you know!--Can Rogerthat (discuss • contribs) 11:15, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

APA style captions for images and tables
I recommend using APA style captions i.e., Figure 1, Figure 2 etc. for all images, graphs etc. and Table 1, Table 2 etc. for all tables. The caption text should not be in italics. For more detail and examples, see http://libguides.newcastle.edu.au/content.php?pid=113807&sid=1208571 -- Jtneill - Talk - c 10:44, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
