I have decided to a hashtag game. Because I love them, and I'm in that rather humorous frame of mind. I'm attempting business plans, invoices and filming itineraries, so I need something streaming behind my workload to make me laugh! It's all rather simple isn't it. And as we know - Simple things....Here's the idea: Replace the word 'YOU' from a famous film title and change it to 'EWE' to make a #sheepishfilm And why not check out this rather cute Knitted sheep at http://ivoryblushroses.blogspot.com/2009/05/meet...
@audio has given me food for thought - That we can all be too quick to judge because its easier to. And so I pose the question: "Has Social Media made desperate our need to receive information in the real-time and made quick our need to judge and respond?" Let's take two events that had huge social media responses: The Riots and The Diane Abbott. During The Riots people were tuned into the BBC who were live at the events that unfolded during the course of the afternoon and evening. Many people, who were watching...
I was once told "you can never know everything there is to know about anything", and it couldn't be more true. Some may find this prospect daunting, that knowledge is limitless; The pursuit for absolute wisdom and a whole expert entity - a God; The answer to why we are here. Yet the answer as to why we are here could lie in the very question it is asked in. That we are born explorers and die unsatisfied. From the earliest of periods when the Phoenicians travelled throughout the Mediterranean and even as far as Britain...
With a blog that has more comebacks than Kylie Minogue I am proud to announce that this Social Media Advocate is back! Evidently not with the most diverse or original of titles, but it is New Year. Other New Years haven't even started and I'm definitely not about to start producing a blog that actively fires off a Happy New Year at every opportunity and in a multitude of languages - even with my overly obsessive of 'all-inclusive, all-encompassing' cultural nature. No! This is just to wish you a very convoluted...
Ugh. Crawling through my feeds this morning and I find this: http://www.change.org/petitions/demand-that-apple-remove-ex-gay-iphone-appWhy is this even a story? Why are we still shocked that the anti-gay message has found new ways to creep into our day? I think this is just yet another example of over-sensitive and misunderstood outcries about a double standard. Complaining about this is exactly the thing we don't need to do. Let it exist, let it get published. It will be downloaded by people who already think that...
The rise of Social Media and access to facilities that enable real-time sharing have already shown us the history-making things that can happen - mere gossip and conversation turning into revolution, innovation and salvation. We have seen already this year, as Twitter reaches new heights and Facebook dominates the world, civil war break out from a suppressed nation having their eyes opened through accessibility to outside news, events and lifestyles. Libya - in case you don't have eyes, ears or such tools to allow...
Wise words! I'm not saying get of Facebook. But don't replace your human existence with technology....http://bit.ly/fV2WS8
Something I discovered about that awkward moment when you know more about someone than you want them to know... Because of Facebook!http://bit.ly/e0NwoE
With people like Jessie J using Social Media platforms to really generate a buzz (http://bit.ly/eS1hSI) and the growth of Vevo Videos to ensure that artist licences are controlled on Youtube, it's no wonder that there are a great deal of up-and-coming children who are finding their influences in something other than records. Just check out: http://bit.ly/ggVgy1 - She's 10. She has just been snapped up by Simon Cowell ("Simon Cowell signs 10-yr-old YouTube sensation: "Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber rolled into one...
