A First For Everything

hmmm, where to start. I have never really blogged before, so, this should be rather interesting. I guess I will start with why I decided to set up a blog. Let's face it, blogging is huge these days. All I hear about is social media these days. My friend's father, Kim Kemmer, an unofficial mentor of sorts, set me off in my social media direction with a few words of advice. He basically told me that exployers are expected college students my age (Gen Y's) to be well versed in using all of these internet technologies. It's almost like we are in an advertising renaissance. We have all of these new and creative tools for communicating, and well, someone has to know how to use them. Gen Y can hardly remember existence without the internet, we are the last generation that experienced the world before everything went digital. So, I decided to take his advice. I have a twitter account, AdMAV, where I tweet anything from random updates about what is going on my life to the cool advertising i find on the internet. So far it has been a great educational tool for me. I find myself spending my time on twitter rather than facebook. Instead of facebook stocking through peoples photos, I follow industry professionals on twitter, check out their tweets, read about the content they post, and learn something. Creating a blog was the one world that I haven't dove into. So, with that, here I go.
