CLASSMATES BLOGS

Do's & Don'ts; Anthony.

I found this blog post to be very informative because it was straight to the point and gave good examples as to what should be used/done and what should not. He used many examples and resources to click on and look at. Not only that, but he summarized them with a few good sentences that thoroughly defined the do's and don'ts.

7 Steps; Amanda R.

I found this blog post to be very informative as well because the 7 steps were listed very well, explaining the objectives, audiences, tactics, and assets. Her opinion on the assignment was also given well and honestly. Her assignment was well organized and she followed the instructions.

BLOGS ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

Original Blog

When Humor Isn't Funny
I VERY much enjoyed this blog post because it is signifying that perspective of clients/customers/views is the important part. When we use social media to market ourselves or a product, we have to make sure we are interesting. Interesting can mean funny or comical. However, what one might find funny..others may not. There's the  issue of whether or not the humor is offensive. There is the issue of what demographic will understand it. There's the issue of it actually making sense and being relevant. There are many issues! You don't want to poke fun at others while trying to promote yourself when the other person isn't even part of your group. It ultimately makes you look like the jerk and can infact get you into some trouble. Be cautious about your humor.

The future for businesses using FB.
This blog post is actually by a different blogger, on the FC Expert blog, but being shared by the Blog listed above. It basically showed me the new changes that are going to be happening with facebook and how they will inhance and weaken businesses. I did not know of the new layout facebook was going to change to. And now that I do, I am a bit confused as to how it is going to work for businesses. I feel as though facebook is more for people who want to stay personal and social with friends/family/etc. I never really saw it as something for businesses to use, although they do use it. Now, with the new facebook..it will be easier for people to see things that one may not have wanted others to see or be available to them. Past posts that you didn't even know were still there will be visable. This may infact be a downfall for businesses. But it will keep us up to date on how progression is going. Personally, I don't think facebook is for businesses. Make a website, don't use facebook. If TIDE Laundry detergent is using facebook..what do they put under Relationship Status? It just doesn't make sense in my head. But businesses use it a lot more than I was aware of!

BLOGS USED TO MARKET

Strongsville, Ohio Blog.
This blog is basically just keeping the city of Strongsville, Ohio up to date with what is going on in the community. I think it affectively markets itself and keeps up with what is going on quite well. It isn't trying to sell anything to the viewers, but it is simply marketing itself off as a news and information site. However, I only give this blog a C. 1 reason being is it really IS NOT up to date. The last post was in June. If you are blogging anything of importance to loyal followers..you cannot just disspear one day and keep the site idle. That's a good way to make people not want to use your website anymore.

The Snuggie Blog
The Snuggie Blog is just a blog marketing the Snuggie and keeping people up to date with news about it, reviews, information, facts, etc. But once again, it is not a blog that has been maintained well. Leaving for long periods of time then coming back does not make viewers happy. They want to stay up to date on the information. They won't view the blog if it is hardly ever updated. I give it a D.

iphone blog
I really enjoy this blog. It is colorful, nice to look at, and stays up to date. The information is good and it is something that an avid iphone user would be interested in knowing. I give this blog an A. It is useful and I infact did read a few posts because I do use apple electronics.
