Linkedin: The Job Search Revolution

July 16, 2010 – 8:05 am

As I approach the latter half of my years as a college student, I am reaching the time in my life when the real world becomes a reality. I just moved into my first apartment, I’m paying my own bills, and I’m taking on responsibilities that force me to “grow up.” Soon I will join those who have already graduated in the daunting task of finding a job.

Use your personal social media life tricks for business

July 2, 2010 – 9:06 am

For the past few months, my mother has been asking for help with developing her social media network. Facebook is new to her, and she needed my guidance; however, initially I did not want to develop her social media personality along with mine because I hadn’t realized the unique importance of it in business.

Social Media and Our Minds

June 30, 2010 – 7:47 am

While perusing the Internet this morning I came across an article entitled “Are Twitter and Facebook Affecting How We Think?” which caused me to think about how my generation, well, thinks.

June 28, 2010 – 12:35 pm

Think back to the times before the modern era and the Internet craze. When banter between sports fans was limited to a small geographic region, updates from games around the country, or even the world, were delivered through the television or radio. Now, during the exciting time of the 2010 World Cup, people around the world show their support of their countries and favorite players online through the means of social media outlets, especially Twitter.

Now that I am more familiar with Social Media and how the sporting world is utilizing it, I don’t have to sit down at my TV to watch SportsCenter for hours at a time to get my daily dose of everything sports. As social media evolves over time, so too will how the sports industry utilizes it.

Social Media Engagement: Finding Your Niche

June 21, 2010 – 10:07 am

As a recent college graduate, I have begun the transition from collegiate socialite to an aspiring professional by downplaying many of things I did in college on a daily basis. However, this lifestyle transformation also rings true for the way I go about creating my new niche among the social media society. Of course, I am not changing who I am completely; rather, I am simply making a conscious effort to accurately and effectively create and convey my personal brand for those with whom I interact online.

April 30, 2010 – 12:09 pm

I’ve been thinking a lot about great examples of social media. The most successful companies are usually the most creative and often use their pages to provide value and interact with consumers.

Social Media — Use it for PR!

April 22, 2010 – 9:09 am

A great example of both of these advantages can be seen with the recent Icelandic volcano; many airlines have been using Twitter as a means to communicate with disgruntled travelers. @BritishAirways, @AmericanAirlines, and @VirginAtlantic are just a few companies who have tapped into Twitter as a solution.
