Social Media Week

     The project I chose for the social media week was the Facebook project.  Since i do not have a twitter or any of the other networks, this seemed logical.  This project was not nearly as hard as I thought it would be.  I also got one company to reply back to me.
     I thought the easy part was liking ten facebook pages.  I just liked the first ten companies I actually shopped at.  Some included Wet Seal, Express, Forever 21, and of course Target.  The part that i did not feel to great about was actually leaving comments on their walls.  At first I felt like a creep.  As I scrolled down their pages I noticed there was not many other people actually leaving comments as I was.  I mentioned how I loved to buy shoes at Wet Seal and they actually messaged me back.  Pretty awesome. 
     I feel that this may help me with my goals because if I start socializing with other companies then I may get connected and start making contacts.  I don't know how affective this is but it is worth a try.  It is kind of fun.
     I learned a lot from social media week.  I learned that there is a ton of facebook and twitter users.  I do not remember the exact number but it surely was a lot.  I learned that soon highschools will be converting to many more online teachings.  I also learned that in the technology world the state of Iowa is a step behind.  I now know where my state stands and what has to happen in order to get us caught up and ahead like we have done with so many  other things.
