Visual Map
I chose the word share as my social media verb. The bottom half of my visual map represents the virtual time definition, whereas the top half is my interepretation of the real time definition.
Performative Action
My social media verb is share. When I share something through social media, I am usually sharing a link, a picture, or a song, really anything that I think people will find interesting. For my performative action, I decided to share with people my trademark forearm bash. To me it replaces the usual handshake, and in the flu season we just had it’s germ free. Really it can be used to say hi or to let someone know they did a good job, you should try it out.
