I am back, reflection of the last couple of months...

Ok...so, it has been an extended period of time since my last blog. Life has really been more of a hinderance lately with school and trying to find my long lost internship than a steady day-to-day habit. I have used the last couple of months has a lesson and re-thought the process of my priorities. Let this be day 1.

How important is your blog content? week 10

Last reading blog! I know they will be missed. After summing up the readings blogging and reading content was the focus that was addressed. This is obviously the meat and potatoes your blog.

If you don't have good content you don't have readers. You will never get your word-of-mouth out, and your messages will never be conveyed to your audience. Basically, you should not waste your time with a blog if you are not going concentrate on your post and give enough mass for people to reply with.

I have been working greatly on my content substance recently, giving enough room for thought and opinion for me and my readers. Also, you want bloggers that use social media in their everyday lives to see your blogs, you do not want them to look at yours for a second and then call you a "wannabe blogger" Your reputation would be terminated! No one would take you seriously.

I hope to take what I have learned an only improve my blog and hopefully I will have more than 13 followers and I will be able to thank the information taken in from the lesson of social media outlet's.

Obama the 44th President of the United states! Week 10

Barack Obama, a 47-year-old first-term senator from Illinois, shattered more than 200 years of history Tuesday night by winning election as the first African-American president of the United States.

A crowd of nearly a quarter of million people jammed Grant Park and the surrounding area in Chicago, where Obama addressed the nation for the first time as its president-elected at midnight November 7, 2008. Hundreds of thousands and more! — Mayor Richard Daley said, "he would not be surprised if a million Chicagoans jammed the streets"

“If there is anyone out there who doubts that America is a place where anything is possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer,” Obama declared as our second democratic president in the past eight years. I have high hopes for our nation in the upcoming year. I hope no matter what your view of the election we can all pull together as America the free and make good things happen. "The power is within ourselves to make the attitude for the situations at hand."-Renee Pirolozzi (2008).

"Live" Week, Week 10!

End of the quarter, this is one of the most pressured times of any college students' life. What makes me mostly mad about the week before finals is "dead" week. I feel this term is not appropriate, more like "live" week, anyone? I have more things to work on and to get ready for finals week. I have more on my plate now then I think I have had all quarter?!?! This is not cool, and this is the week to prepare for finals.

In the light of this event I propose a real dead week. One week before finals no class, nothing due, just time to study. This would meet my "dead" week requirements and give the appropriate amount of time to prepare last minute items and study for finals. Any thought to this? Lets do a petition!

Do it now!!!

Do it now, is a program enhancing awareness on the importance of organ donning. This is very important and very significant in the reality of life and death situations. It is real, simple, and self explanatory and is a message that needs to be heard. When thinking of how I was going to try and convey this message to the world I thought, why not make my video as real, simple and self explanatory as my message is. It doesn't need to be fancy or try to make you feel guilty but to reach the audience. Oh yea, I wasn't going to put my goof up in the video but I thought a little humor never hurt anybody. Everybody make mistakes! So, watch, listen, and laugh but really take in what I am saying and visit the website! Thanks :)

Out with the old, in with the new! week9

When doing the reading in The New Rules of Marketing and PR this week, I felt the main focus was pinpointed on just two- way communication between consumers and manufactures.

The new outlets available for mainstream communication has been overlooked at this point in the reading. I feel I am being told mainstream media outlets are not to be the best form of reaching the target markets.

This is minuteness’, the old traditional ways could be best for your older audiences but at the same time even the older generations are becoming more advanced and catching on to the new social media.

If your company is taking advantage of the new tools available to you, you are not truly going to get desired results.

So I say out with the old in with the new!!!
