I've learned that collaboration is very important when it comes to social media. I think it is interesting the blogs are starting to become professional and some are regarded as legitimate sources of news. Anyone can be a journalists these days. Also, I am fascinated with what makes one social media site popular rather than another. People are very particular about their loyalties to one or another (Facebook v. Twitter) and I always wonder what makes this loyalty so strong.
Battle Royale! Google + vs. Facebook showdown!
Something that I find boring is reading the book. Although Brogan has good insights, I think you can learn the most about social media by actually observing and using it. We also need to get a whiteboard marker that works!
Textbooks are a snore...zzz...
I can take what I'm learning and apply it to the real world because employers are often looking to see if you know how to market yourself on the internet. This can reflect your ability to market products, make pitches, etc. A blog can also be a peek into your personality, and employers want to see who you truly are so that they can assess if you're a good fit for that company.
Watch your step! Your future employer may be looking at your Facebook profile!
"Anyone can become a journalist these days." I agree with this statement. You don't need a professional degree to have success in blogging, you just need to build a good reputation. My only question is, how do you make money from a successful personal blog?
