Many times people talk about how social media is a waste of time, won’t last, the list goes on and on. For instance I was working in the computer lab and over heard a video conference call to a client in florida. The gentleman on the call made the comment that Twitter wasn't going to last and not many people use it in his aria. So I decided to do some research. I went to Twitter search and looked up tweets made with in 100 miles of the Florida Keys and after 60 second there had been over 300 tweets. Needless to say Twitter is just a small part of social media but it communicates quickly to many people.
These are two examples of how cool social media is and how it's anything but a waste of time.
I personally love this commercial from AT&T below. The commercial is a prime example of how social media allows people to communicate quickly, and effectively to a large group of people.
This week my brother turned 18! My baby brother is officially an adult. My parents went to visit him in Cleveland wearer he goes to school. The plan was for me to go with them to celebrate his birthday but I was unable to because rehearsal for the christmas show, a.k.a Holiday.Needless to say I was bummed out about this. I could call him but I wanted to do something cool for him because I couldn’t be there. Before I went to Holiday practice for the night I have a stroke of genius.
YouTube was the answer to my dilemma. This is what I sent to him after practice that night. He loved what I sent him, he called the video "epic".
What's the coolest thing you have ever used social media for?
Cheers,
