Blog Post on Today's lesson

Lost with Tweet, blog, RSS ???.
Feeling alien among tweets, blogs & RSS?

Hmm.. you are not alone. <Stats> show that over..., aged --- are inactive users. 

Do the buzz words twit, blog irritate you? Why are everyone making a big deal? Procastinating that the new social media is a waste of your precious time.

Such explosive growth in facebook, twitter & you are not a part of it. Never felt the need to until now. So, how do you begin? Read about it in Wikipedia.  But first, let's clarify the myths.

Myth 1: Social media is an alien concept & it's all about technology
With writing cast in walls in the Greek civilisation, it started the age of media.  We have moved to print, broadcast & now internet media. So, social media is nothing new. Exchanging information over the Internet actively allows people to share, create, judge, innovate in ways that are reshaping relationships.  Technology is just a part of it.  All you need is a computer & you can be part of the internet age, by simply sipping coffee at Starbucks or Mcdonalds which provides free wireless access.

Myth 2: Social Media is geeky stuff  & need to be a technical expert

Social media is simply, a medium to capture conversations & allows the listeners & readers to participate in the process.  No longer are you at the mercy of the publishers who decide on what should in the media.
