Something I could take away from this course is what social media really is. Before taking this course I was under the impression it was just another means for people to communicate, but after taking this course I realize it’s a driver for innovation and a vital component for companies that want to succeed.

I’ve looked at and told people to look at some infomercials about exercise equipment just because some of the concepts are so far fetched.

From what I can gather from joing 4Square, 4Square is a site that gives you the opportunity to go to places and use your mobile device to document your experience, afterwards you can comment on what you did, where you’ve been and see who else has been there. This program also lets you interact with friends [...]

1) I think when Christine speaks about “fellow believers” she does mean the same thing as idelogoy in the starfish and the spider. She talks about having a community of people who are already believers in you and from these people more business will be generated. This is the same concept as idelogoy because like [...]

With the expanding number of users, I believe Facebook could be a viable publishing platform. As the article states Twitter has been the recent platform but because Facebook is becoming more public, this means a shift is taking place.
