Since we have learned about unobtrusive research it has been brought to my attention that it is more used that one might realize. After looking through my classmates blogs it was interesting to see the different ways they came up with in which unobtrusive research is used in everyday life.
When looking at Fran’s blog it opened up my eyes into realizing that we could use unobtrusive research through Facebook and Twitter almost every day if we wanted to. Celebrities are constantly informing us of their whereabouts and their favorite places to be and favorite “it” designers. Not only does this give you a small dose of what life would be in the fab lane, but it also allows you to gain a new level of knowledge of what celebrities are up to and what products they are using. This kind of unobtrusive research is most interesting to me because it allows me to stalk my favorite celebrities while at the same time learning what the latest up to date trends are through constant updated research.
The other blog I looked at was Brittany’s. In her blog she discusses the unobtrusive research that Pandora uses to ensure satisfied listeners and fans. When using Pandora you are able to have different artist and genre playlists and through unobtrusive research the website puts together a list of songs they think you would like off of the artist you chose to begin with. Not only can Pandora put together lists of songs they things you would be interested in, but if you are connected to Facebook, Pandora can tell you which of your friends like a certain artist in hopes that it gains your interest as well. This is the newest aspect of Pandora which also uses unobtrusive research.
Little did we know when starting up with this subject, that it is used in almost all of our social media. By just scrolling through Pandora, Twitter or Facebook you are able to gain so much research knowledge on your friends, celebrities and musical preferences.
