trees are people too

An addiction to RSS has been mentioned. I have recovered somewhat, but seem to have occasional relapses. Some days are good, others are bad… just taking it one day at a time.

I wanted to share/mention a couple more blogs/sites that I have subscribed to and am enjoying. They are all media related, mostly new/digital media, but some are more business oriented than others. As such it’s sometimes a bit dry, but also really relevant as inevitably one day we are going to need to present out media skills in something of a business sense, i.e why we should use this media, how this media will generate views/customers/profits etc – sell ourselves and sell our skills, if you like.

So, check these out to be prepared for business time.

New media (and literacy in it) is becoming a powerful business tool. Corporations are paying close attention to rising trends such as user generated content, and are trying hard to harness the power of web 2.0 (in fact, web 2.0 is defined as such because of the way it has changed business operations). It’s good for us, therefore, to know what the f**k is going on with media in an practical business sense.

Hopefully i will add more as I stumble upon the, but seriously if I don’t stop reading RSS feed and doing some work, I am never gonna get this course done. ha.

(In hindsight this is probably a pretty superfluous post, as there are literally millions of blogs and articles out there on the web talking about these issues, and you probably already know about at least a few. But this is my blog, and I do what i want.)
