Week 1 blog: Whoops =x

Well I had definitely planned to learn about effective social networking, and I got a decent dose of that!! I have had an obligatory participation in social networks as a teenager so it isn't completely foreign to me.. however I had certainly been developing a disinterest for social networking. this class put me back on that track with a mild appreciation for it as well. And so this semester has been my first interaction with blogging.. I completely appreciate it. I had always known about blogs but I get why people utilize them now. What a great way to put your opinions out there! And in return, people will comment, and you can further your opinions on the matter from there.. I just see it as totally useful now. I've gathered quite a bit about the net from this course.

facebook vs. fortune 500

I'm not entirely proud to be considered the facebook generation, but maybe that will change one day...

Gary Hamel brings up some really interesting points about the social "DNA" of generation F. It makes me wonder exactly how profound an effect this facebook movement will have on the human conscience ? over time, could this social dependence translate, genetically?


it was an alright read!

Longggggg Trail

I can completely relate to this blog because I rarely find myself participating in things that are "mainstream". With maybe the exception of The Office!

Particularly in the music realm, I like what Michael Robertson of MP3.com had accomplished with his website. By singling out artists and directing their tracks to the listener, a new age of music has been born. I can relate to this because as a small time recording artist I don't have a record label or someone to mainline me! It is pioneers like Michael Robertson that bring the talent out from the shadows.

A lot of highly qualified musicians are out there, completely unknown because they aren't marketed by some label, and don't specialize in marketing for themselves.

I could go on! The way that the internet and search options are bringing new things to the surface is really changing the way I find new interests and manifest my new experiences.. Heck, it has already greatly diversified my itunes!!!

Small Tour ...

Well, I got pretty wet when filming and had to stop. Pretty lame video but it's all I could manage with such a shifty internet connection. I don't expect comments, hopefully if anything else it was worth a small laugh..

I tried to jump back over the dam and fell in... saved the camera though.. lol

DOH!
