Revision as of 11:31, 10 December 2009
When contributing to Rhea, how do you picture your audience? How does this affect your posting?
- I think that probably 90% of the users of Rhea are Purdue students. The few that come across Rhea are probably just Google-searching a potential candidate (be it for graduate school, a job, etc.) and that person happened to post on Rhea with their full name. I find it very unlikely an employer will scope out Rhea for "insightful posts" and then contact a student, because doing so would require the employer to search Purdue's directory for usernames (assuming the Rhea user even signed his/her username). In short (or perhaps rather long in my case), I don't "hold my tongue" when posting on Rhea, because I think by and large only your classmates will really view the material. --rscheidt
