Ok so this blog will be about key terms relating to my topic and how they are defined.
Facebook: the social media that many use for hours daily. This has now become an employer device to get more of the inside scoop on potential employees. It has become a professional device putting pressure on the users to censor and monitor what is displayed about them. Some people may even feel pressure to list professional goals and experiences on their facebook page in order to give them an upper hand when employers check out their page.
Twitter: another form of social media where users can follow other users in order to receive constant updates on that person/business. This allows users to keep in-the-know about recent news on topics, companies, and people they are interested in.
Web Pressure: The world is turning more and more digital. Just about everything can be done online these days, but it seems lately that a new trend is pushing through. This new trend seems to make internet technology no longer a luxury or a possibility, but it has now almost become a forced way of life. It's no longer an option to use internet technology-you must use it to have an upper hand in the professional world and simply to not be behind. People are almost expected to spend so many hours on line a day it seems, in order to keep up with blogs, email, websites, news, twitter, facebook, linkedin, etc, etc. You name it and you'd better be checking it everyday. People's lives no longer consist of just living, lives now consist of how one uses and is viewed on the web media!

I think your definition of web pressure, exactly as it is now, would make an awesome paragraph in your essay. Good head start.
