The First Post Is Always The Hardest
The first time is always the hardest. I have been going back and forth about what this post should be about. Should I just dive right into talking about New Media or Social Media? Heck isn’t it all under the same umbrella? Maybe I should start with who I am and what my background is? Nah, that’s all on the About Dave page. Oh I know I can roll out a huge big post about something cutting edge and exciting in the space! No, its a slow week everyone is heading to Blogworld 2008 anyway. I could list what this blog is about, what I want to accomplish. Hey that’s not bad. Maybe I should do it in list form. People do like lists.
So in no particular order, I give you the goals, hopes, and dreams I want for New Media Chatter:
-For all of us to learn more about this space called New Media. ( I plan on learning from you too!)
-To pass on the tools needed for people to learn how to brand themselves in this new age of social media
-I want to start discussions and conversations about New Media, make us all think.
- To point you to people, websites and events where you can learn more and network with.
-A place where you can come to get the latest trends in the industry.
I hope this is not to deep or mushy for the first post. Heck, I hope I didn’t scare you off, I want you to subscribe to this blog!
So look at that, the first post is over. Great.. now we can get down to business and starting talking about New Media.
Congrats Dave. Let’s create some ping pong blogging.
Here’s my big Question for the day to which I am working on a post: Could social media one day influence/prevent a crisis like the current Wall Street fiasco?
Interesting question John. Also points to the bigger question people ask, along the lines of “how much does social media affect anything outside the techie bubble?”
