And here we go again....
Lets start this back at the beginning- "a very good place to start" as the Sound of Music line goes.
Basically, don't we all have to do that at some point. Whether it be recollect our thoughts, revisit our decisions or just plain old start your blog up again with a new found determination like that diet you promised yourself you would start up again every Sunday night for the fresh week.
It has come to my attention over the past year that blogs are more than just a way to express your innermost uninteresting yet interesting desires to a webberverse of listeners and other amateur writers. It is also a way to analyse social media through the eyes of the user.
The user plays a key role in the transition from broadcast media to interactive media. What is interactive media? It is all that jazz that your specialist friends have been harping on about when they use such jargon as Web 2.0 (or for those of you who are more attuned to the food world...isnack 2.0). This interactive field allows an otherwise untrained audience to become masters of their landscapes- writing, teaching and conveying their own knowledge and experiences to others who are looking for otherwise generic answers. The user is involved and engaged rather than just an audience to what is dribbled out at them by governing forces. By using cleverly designed social media reading tools such as the amazing Radian 6, alexa, compete, and hundreds of others- you gain the key to a world of knowledge, analysis and basically understanding how to tap into an audience so that you can adopt an element of social media to your pursuit...PR, Advertising, Marketing or otherwise.
So all in all, after learning about the beauty and importance of these tools which rely on constantly updated and up-kept blogs, twitter accounts, facebook groups and so forth....i felt the need to get back on the blogging scene.
I cant promise that all my blogs will be so socially engaged or even knowledgeable as my best work is usually describing the random events of my day or a whimsical thought that starts me on a tangent...
next post...Why I-snack failed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This one has been bugging me!
Cheers Big Ears!
