I is Alive.

Alright, I totally fell off the gene-pool when it came to this blogging thing. I have a bunch to make up sooo...here we go. PR class has actually been going very well. We've been having a few speakers in class give us an insider's take on the would of Social Media and how it helps/harms groups, companies, etc. The latest speaker was John Dawe. He recently did a campaign for a politician in the area and basically described how Facebook was clutch in his efforts of getting her the win.

So...My take on this, ironically, I knew everyone discussed... Somehow I've known people that Donna brings into class...it's weird how everyone is connected. Reminds of that 7 people to Kevin Bacon thing. I've known the guys that owned Solid Cactus because they used to eat at the restaurant that I was a sous chef at and they would come in every week. They were known as "The Boys" and my boss Lilli would bust their ass all the time. A bunch of years later I meet Donna, who is teaching this PR class, who knows my friend Mandy who I went to and graduated highschool with. So Donna brings is John Dawe, who had an event at the Waterfront where I work now, which didn't go over well under various different circumstances. I knew the politician he was endorsing through Facebook because I used to intern at FOX56 and made commercials with her and ran the teleprompter. Then she brings up Matt Hinton in class on Thursday, who I've known for awhile now too, because he was good friends with my oldest brother in highschool. Ohh...it's a small small world.

Annnyyhhoowww. So John Dawe discussed Facebook and how he used it for a political campaign and it was very interesting how strategical it had to be and how much they had to post all the time. I also thought it was interesting how important and crucial he made posting things before anyone else did like video feed and updates and events. It was interesting what he had to say, but I kind of still don't get what he does. I guess he kind of just runs social media sites for people? I guess I don't see that as very difficult, but in the same token, I'm also the same one who forgets to post weekly blogs har har har.
