Screen shot of when I watched the American presidential debates on CNN on my computer and followed it on twitter No TV, cable or satellite, newspapers, magazines, stereo I do listen to CBC (the radio) but mostly music from my mp3, Read blogs, download movies, tv shows, videos and am Facebook where I read what other people refer me to, quite often. I’m on Twitter where the same thing happens – fellow marketers, people I trust… they’ll point to an article they’re reading, a cool video, etc. my boys, who are 7 and 10, do not have a Wii, DS, Cable, etc. They watch YouTube and play on the internet. They have blogs and post their favorite things to them (not regularly) and they learn things from it. NO COMMERCIALS – although there certainly are a lot of ads on some of the sites they’re on but they have learned to disregard them.
Sharing, engaging, dialogue, being authentic
kinda like teen sex… everyone’s doing it but no one really knows what it’s really all about or how to do it properly
Overwhelming at first People wonder: tools vs entertainment…. Business vs teenager, young people addicted to their video games, ipods, etc. Build content – pictures, videos, articles, how-to’s, comments
Just a fancy way of saying that social media is all the conversations going on online around the world, 24/7. Social media can take many different forms, including Internet forums , weblogs , social blogs , wikis , podcasts , pictures, video, rating and bookmarking. Technologies include: blogs , picture-sharing, vlogs , wall-postings, email , instant messaging , music-sharing, crowdsourcing , and voice over IP , to name a few.
- Blogs are websites with dated items of content in reverse chronological order, self-published by bloggers. Items – sometimes called posts - may have keyword tags associated with them, are usually available as feeds, and often allow commenting. Microblogging is a web service that allows the subscriber to broadcast short messages to other subscribers of the service. Content – is king. tr ansparency : Enhancing searching, sharing, self-publish and commenting across networks makes it easier to find out what's going on in any situation where there is online activity. Tags - Tags are keywords attached to a blog post, bookmark, photo or other item of content so you and others can find them easily through searches and aggregation. Tags can usually be freely chosen - and so form part of a folksonomy - while categories are predetermined and are part of a taxonomy. Photo-sharing – Flickr.com and Facebook. Uses tags.
