Sorry for the total lack of posts as of late. Senior year is proving to be the busiest of them all. Right now, I am getting ready for South By Southwest which officially starts for me Thursday, March 12. I am volunteering 60+ hours this year and could not be more excited!
Be sure to follow me on Twitter @seuchristine for all the latest on me and my experiences! Feel free to respond to this entry with your Twitter information so I can follow you, too. For now, with me being so busy, micro-blogging is where it's at! Gotta love it.
To everyone who is partaking in SXSW '09: have an amazing time, enjoy everything this beautiful city (Austin, Texas) has to offer and don't forget to tweet!
After being formally introduced in class to Twitter, I decided it was time to give it a try. When I first got on, I was instantly reminded of Facebook status updates. Basically, they are the same thing. Micro-blogging allows you to post short messages of up to 140 characters. I really like the fact that you can follow your friends and family, as well as other interesting people you many come across. Not only are individuals the ones to Twitter, but organizations, projects, and celebrities are doing the same. I came across Whole Foods, Social Media Club, and even Britney Spears! From a PR perspective, I think Twitter offers a great connection to consumers. Consumers are able to follow what is going on and get a better feel of the company's personality.
