Twitter: An Ongoing Study

I started by using Twitter for personal use (Personal Brand), but I recently began following some bigwigs here in AL in social media, marketing, advertising, and PR. I’m already learning a lot from watching, and I can’t wait to meet them at the Hsvegas TweetUp we’re arranging for Dec. 30

I think I’m going to do some study on Twitter’s uses and brush up on these different areas of social media over the next few months. I was surprised when I talked to a lot of communications & PR professionals randomly and they had not heard of Twitter. I’m wondering now, will this give me the edge I need to have a fantastic job when I graduate, regardless of the recession and topsy turvey job market?

We’ll find out!

In the wonderful world of the Internet, there is a lot of stuff out there. Some educational, informative, entertaining, potentially libelous, fun and crazy, and sometimes a little nutty. But it’s presumptuous of someone to say they know for a fact that something is not there – like this blog – when it has been here for years and they just not have been able to find it.

I do blog, whether you visit my pages or not.

I plan to question the semantics, the nitty-gritty details that some assume about life. You’re welcome to journey with me, but as I’m a 20something it may take quite a while. I’m a full believer that my life is a “pick your own adventure” style life, where there are constantly interweaving intersections of exciting opportunities and choices about things to do and places to go. I also love to re-read; therefore I am not above going back and taking the scenic route.

This time, I blog for an audience. I hope that whoever discovers my blog may take something away from it; maybe respecting others more, appreciating the importance of communication in relationships and life, realizing that social media can be a whirlwind, or acknowledging the difficulties an chronic illness can put in one’s life.

I blog – welcome.
