Last but not least

     Hey internet hows it going? I am the last member of the group, Paul. In all honesty this is the first time I have ever blogged or have even been somewhat invested in one. Clearly I go to PLU and am in the school of business like my other group members  Even though I am going to get my degree in business, I have no concentration (which is  somewhat unorthodox). I am all about the internet and using it to its fullest capability, but when it comes to social media site, like Facebook  twitter, etc., i don't have that large of investment in them. I used to be all about the online experience but after I "deactivated" my Facebook account in march of 2012, I only frequent Twitter. Even on Twitter i don't really tweet, but really just read other funny tweet from comedians, or interesting quirky facts. Hopefully this blog is useful to some users who are curious about social media and some of the things it has to offer, and some tips on how to make sure oyu be the best you that the web can portray.
Till my next post, Ill see you when I see you,
Paul

An Introduction...

Hello all.  As Lise has just done, I am formally introducing myself to everyone out there who is willing to read this blog.  My name is Chris.  I am currently a senior business major at Pacific Lutheran University with a marketing concentration.  I am expecting to graduate this May.  At this point I have no idea what I want to do (career wise) after graduation; better figure that one out fast because the real world is going to come at me fast.

When it comes to the internet, I have always known how vast it is and how rapidly it is expanding.  But when you actually learn statistics about just how large the internet is, and all the possible threats and cautions it really makes you think.  When it comes to social media sites, I have really only been exposed to Myspace (back in the day), Facebook and Twitter.  When Facebook was just starting to become popular, I was one of those people who kept telling themselves they would not get an account.  Low and behold I gave in to that one.  I rarely use my Twitter account; sometimes I ask myself why I even have one?  That being said I am excited to explore various other social media sites that have become the norm in today's society.  I hope that some of you will join us and contribute to our blog with your own thoughts and experiences.

Until next time...You stay classy San Diego.  (Ok, lame Anchorman reference aside I really do look forward to hearing from anyone and everyone)

Chris...

 

Hello to the world!

 I just want to formally introduce myself to the millions of internet users out there that now can access some of my personal thoughts and ideas. Freaky! As this being my first post on the open internet (that I am aware of), I officially want to say hey, what’s up? My name is Lise. I am a Norwegian exchange student at PLU, where I study marketing and public relations. I expect to finish my bachelor degree in international communication home in Norway next year.

 I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of the social media jungle, and have not explored and embraced much more than facebook to be honest.  As a matter of fact I have promised my friends for years that I would never ever - EVER write a blog. I am a true believer of less is more, always, even when it comes to the internet and social media. But here I am. We are three friends that will be running this blog together.  So over the next couple of months I will explore the “jungle” and blog. Therefore through this blog I look forward to sharing thoughts and facts on how to do what, why, and why not.  Additionally I obviously hope to get feedback on your experiences, thoughts and tips.  I would love to hear it if you have some ideas or specific suggestions of topics that you want us to write about?  

This picture kind of symbolizes how I see the internet, big and unknown – but so many opportunities (if you don’t drown). As you might have noticed, I hate clichés. No I don’t, yes I do….         

     ...Noooo I don’t

Hope you have a simply awesome weekend

Peace out - Lise
