my client's social media profile
I'm currently trying to accomplish my client's social media profile. My client is the Sparta/Hancock Growers CSA and I have been communicating with Sid Cox to try and get news about the CSA out there effectively.
Here are the ways I am going to represent the Middle Georgia CSA in the world of social media:
-A blog with at least an introductory post) that is customized with Addthis and subscribed to an RSS Feed and Technorati
(any kind of analytics you add can only be a good thing).
-A Twitter page that is up to date, with complete details
-A Facebook FAN page, GROUP page, or both (would be better)
-A LinkedIn business account profile
I hope I do a good job, I think a social media presence would be very useful for Sid and the CSA.

the infamous media fast
We knew from the beginning that it was going to happen... our Social Media class accomplished our midterm by spending from 9 a.m. Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday with no. social. media.
Yikes. This meant no internet (Facebook, Twitter, e-mail, etc.), no cell phone, no DVDs, no CDs. Not a whole lot. I have spent time without the internet before, and I can live without texting, but I knew not being able to make phone calls would be a challenge.
I woke up around 8:30 a.m.... just in time to get some Facebook/last minute texts in before I had to say good-bye. I found my classmate, Preston on Facebook and he and I spent our last few minutes chatting about how we were going to spend our day sans social media. I had to send some texts to friends who had called me the night before explaining that I wouldn't really be able to call them back for at least another day.
I actually felt a little aimless without the internet or my phone to make plans. Also, not having class guaranteed that I would see less people than usual during the afternoon.
I could feel a little bit of anxiety about my inability to share my thoughts with my friends... or the whole world. I spent my day packing and was surprisingly very productive. I suppose I have a lot more time when I'm not bumming around on Facebook or compulsively checking my phone. I also had a lot more alone time because I couldn't really make plans with my friends.
People had to come to my house to even tell me one thing, which was kind of a pain for everyone. I went to dinner for a friend's birthday and he had to come to my house to tell me all the plans. That night, my friend Katie was visiting and I had no real way of getting in touch with her. My friends, who had my phone (because I wasn't using it) called the birthday boy's phone in order to get in contact with me.
I will admit that I did a teensy bit of cheating... I participated in a phone call via speaker phone.
It was hard to live a day without social media. I was already fairly aware of my dependence on it, but it was much more obvious once I really had to restrain from using my cell phone, Facebook, whatever...
I was definitely glad the next morning when 9 a.m. finally rolled around. I made many phone calls and caught up with all of the business I had to abandon the night before.

teaching Tumblr
Meet Tumblr.
Tumblr is a bogging platform that works to simplify the sharing process online that was founded in 2007 by David Karp.
Users can choose to update text, photos, a link or even audio clips.
People "follow" each other and can reply, reblong or "like" other's posts.
Users can also update their Tumblrs from their phones, similarly to how Twitter uses SMS.
according to Wikipedia: "According to a March 8, 2010 post by David Karp to the Tumblr staff blog, the site is now averaging 2,000,000 posts and 15,000 new users every day."
