Week 1 - Social Media

Yes. Class this past week brought us to focus upon the current interaction model that is sweeping the nation : Social media. This powerful beast is not just a passing phase, it is a force to be reckoned with. For all intents and purposes, our main goals as a functioning society should be now to incorporate social media into our everyday lives as much as possible and to never neglect the potential of said industry.

The lab, which has us create a Twitter account and access all of it's tools, made me realize the reality of a digital playing field where intelligent minds alike can come together in milliseconds, perhaps, and introduce ideas, collaborate and indicate their interests. Twitter allows the user to find new areas for exploration and networking.

With my project what I would like to do is elaborate on the ability for this platform to transcend over to the physical world; It is SO amazing that information has become so accessible yet by making it so we are actually eliminating the direct physical interaction that two or more people share as their ideas develop and evolve. Perhaps what this game is all about is more of networking to produce a sense of community between people who wouldn't otherwise physically or digitally find each other.

I would like to incorporate social media into my business plan by developing a twitter account for it or even perhaps getting this blog out into the open!
