Final post for Class

Review for Class

I'm happy to say that I have learned a lot from this class, including how to actually use social media (something I've never really taken seriously in a professional sense) for business. How to accurately track data about these websites. What to do and what to say, how to go about it and what to do with it once you have it. I never knew this level of complexity went into social media campaigns but I plan to utilize all this in my personal career and in the near future with a camping I am running. My team will need to track all this data in order to know if we are ready to launch our kick starter campaign. By having a dialogue with the fans, we can adapt the game to suit their wants and desires. Also this will allow us to build a level of transparency so they know that their money is going to a good cause.

What I liked about the class is that we covered a lot of material that can be adapted to suit our individual needs. Even though we did spend some time on sites that I still consider useless like Google+, we were able to see that in certain contexts, they still can be useful. Even things like pintetrest which I never thought I would ever get into is actually quite addicting. I can now see why advertisers would want to take advantage of of websites of that nature.

What I did not like so much was the amount of time we spent on the individual sites. I know that it was a ton of material to get through but I felt like Facebook and Linkedin deserve a bit more time than Google+ and other things that may not be as popular. This is of course a minor gripe that plagues almost any class I've ever taken. Perhaps with a little schedule refinement, this problem can be eliminated.
