Interesting insights via Scribble and SingleGrain. It’s almost exactly as I imagine it, in a heavyweight battle who will win, Google+ or Facebook?
Verdict's still out.

- The most annoying phrase I hear over and over is: "Social Media is changing everything, we've got to get involved." While it may be true that social media is changing things, it seems to be unclear exactly how and what it's changing. This is an observational blog, documenting the cultural and communicational shift of millennials (15-30 year-olds) to social networks and mobile devices.

Google+ Invite
As I'm sure everyone's aware Google launched Google+ about a week ago. Though I have 3 gmail accounts (yes, three) I didn't initially get in invite when I asked for one. No matter, there are great positives to being well connected with social, digital nerds. Within hours I was online.
The network is relatively small right now, so figuring things out is really just trial and error. Thank goodness Mark Zuckerberg and Mashable have Google+ pages or I would be absolutely lost. Well, not completely. Look to my Twitter for a Facebook vs. Google+ play-by-play.
If you need an invite, or just want one I'll think about sharing. Happy Google+ing y'all!

Friends in Real Life
Is it possible to recognize someone you’ve never actually met? Sure, there’s a romantic notion that all people are connected to each other. Of course there are people who say souls can be connected—everyone’s looking for a familiar face in a crowd. I’m not talking about that. I’m asking: Is it possible to recognize a person whom you’re “friends” with online in real life?
I would say it is one of my primary inquiries, what weight can I put on online relationships. Are they real relationships, real friendships; can you break that digital barrier that blocks one-on-one interaction? Is it possible?

Really?
"A March 2010 Retrevo Gadgetology Report found that 49% of under-25's said they would answer a text message while eating; 24% while they were going to the bathroom; 22% during a meeting; 10% during sex" (Mintel, 2010). REALLY!? So disturbing. Put the phone down. PUT IT DOWN.

Adapting Marketing to a Nomadic Generation
This is a paper I recently wrote for a marketing class I took; thought it was fitting for the blog.
Comm Theory meets Marketing. Enjoy nerds!
Adapting Marketing to a Nomadic Generation
Mobile technology has changed the way humans interact; cellular devices have literally become the extension of man’s hand. Instantaneous information and constant media attainability has created an everything anywhere generation. Marketers have long struggled with exactly how to attain and maintain a nomadic generation’s attention. New technologies are adapting older forms of medium, i.e. print to web and notebook to webpage. Technology has created a constant stream of multimedia advertisements to keep young customers engaged through nomadic intractability, mobile sales promotions, and personalized encyclopedic data.
