Hello World, and Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
That's right World, this weekend "I ain't got nuttin to do"(in my best Thumper The Rabbit voice), and I have to say that I am all right with that. I am even being proactive and getting my blog done today to make sure I have "nuttin to do." I honestly don't have much to discuss by means of social media, so this week I will just chat (oops I meant blog...or is it chat - who knows) briefly (briefly, cause you know I am ready to get my weekend started!) about how social media could help out in times where people can not reach their loved ones.
This week we had a really big tornado hit our brothers and sisters out west that destroyed many peoples livelihoods. When these natural disasters happen often times people can not get in touch with one another by phone, because the lines are busy. By using social media like Facebook and Twitter, you can instantly let all of your friends and family know your status. It can also serve as a means for them to follow your progress if something is wrong when you can not get in touch via the traditional phone line. In many cases people were able to use SM in this disaster to do just that. Which is brilliant! It can also be a means by which families that are displaced can locate means of assistance.
I think as time goes on we will think of more and more uses of social media, and I am sure marketers will continue to think of ways to leverage those new uses for the brands they represent! Don't you just love a free economy. Well like I said earlier, I don't have many thoughts this week with the exception of thoughts about my staycation - so with that said - Ciao!
