Ahh, here we are again, a final about a Social Media Project. How exciting.
My non-profit will be known as "No Shirts, No Bueno." The basic mission statement will be, "if you're cold, we're not doing our job."
Primarily, my non-profit would operate majorly on donations of cash and supplies, working with local organizations (churches, government owned places, etc) in order to help cloth every person in Madison.
The plan would be to start small, but eventually expand to other areas of Wisconsin.
The 4 main forms of Social media that I intend to use are Facebook, Twitter, Google Alerts and Google Blogger.
Google Blogger would primarily be run by service staff (perhaps a social media volunteer from the local technical college), where the primary goals would include:
-Connecting with the populace on a more personal level.
-Keeping those involved or invested in the company about the various projects being run by the corporation.
-Allowing (and even inviting) area residents for feedback on all aspects of the workplace, and opening forums to all levels of feedback.
Google Alerts will be charged with keeping up with local news, or any other, types of mentions for the company, as well as keeping track of investors and people of interest. Likewise, the tool would be used to watch for any local residents that need help, updating daily in an attempt to keep up with the world and the news.
NSNB will run a Facebook Fan Page, which will likewise run a number of campaigns to target those that are in the Madison area, unemployed or looking for, and need help. Advertisements will be used constantly, bringing in a larger customer base, and will also be used to attract donators to the cause. The Page itself will be used to interact with users, post daily short updates, and shed light on events the company intends to host.
Likewise with Twitter, simply using another tool to reach a larger user base.
This is Dan Schott, Controlling Interest of No Shirt, No Bueno.

Writing for New Media, a Library Experience
For the Jan. 20th class of Writing for New Media (brought to you by Natasha Kassulke), we had a casual visit to the Madison Area Technical College -- Truax Library, which was not an entire waste of time. A presentation, by our Library Services Planner Matt Coan, was brought to us, with the main focus being on the new Social Media world.
As a whole, his presentation offered a great look at the various tools and habits of this new world. However, the majority of the presentation seemed to be targeting at the "new" social media writer, and those with experience could take very little out of it that they didn't already realize.
A few good key things that were presented included the examples using the MATC Libraries Facebook Page. The presentation of this page allowed those with no actual experience to see how this knowledge is used in the real world, and at the same time showed people currently with their wrists deep in the world to see other examples of how social media is utilized.

Another site that was presented would be the main MATC Library Page, which showed how other tools can not only be utilized, but embedded straight into the websites themselves. This showed how others could design their own websites.

Lastly, the ideas flowing around the use of correct grammar and punctuation on the internet were intriguing, however, I find that everyone has their own truths when it comes to such issues. For me, whether it be texting, blogging, twitter'ing (which I call Twiting, ya Twits) or Facebook'ing, I will always find myself using grammar fully, to the best of my ability. The reasoning behind this is that, while it may be simpler to write "lik dis 4 da net" and take a little less time, I find that each and everything I publish online is a reflection of me. Since I am not majorlly mentally impaired or in high school, I will continue to write my best, utilizing my grammar and punctuation to the best of my ability.

Seagate dumps on my dreams, Myyearbook a true Waste of Human Baggage, and working sucks, ya know?
I know I don't blog a lot anymore, the reason being work. Having 2 jobs (but only 2 now, thanks to the fact that I have offically left The Clarion student publication at Madison Area Technical College) is really more of a pain than anything. I'm glad to be working more though, and being in this position now, as opposed to 1 year ago when I was pretty ridiculously screwed in every aspect of my life.
Isn't America grand? Going from jobless to overworked and in school full-time in only a year? Amazing, truly. Speaking of school, classes start next Monday, Jan. 10, and I cannot be more excited for all my English classes. They are:
-Writing for New Media, Kassulke.
-Feature Writing, Cupps.
-World Indigenous Languages, Redfield and Ivanova.
-World Issues Journalism, Hansen.
-General Anthropology, Christiansen III.
And yes, another semester and still no Math or Science taken. I'll get around to it.
Life may be good, but it is time to focus on some negatives in my life. Sad, but they're duly mentionable.
On Oct. 13, 2010, I ordered an item off of Amazon.com. I am a frequent customer of this site, and have had very little complaints when using this website. I decided using Amazon as a medium to purchase from Seagate was a good idea, as an Amazon Prime member allowed me to recveive free shipping on my purchase. The item I purchased was:
Seagate FreeAgent Go 1 TB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive ST910004FAA2E1-RK (Tuxedo Black)
From the Seagate Merchant profile on Amazon. This turned out to be a huge mistake, because upon receiving my merchandise and opening it, I discovered that the item does not actually work. The initial file that is supposed to open and install upon the first use was missing, and that it actually cost me money to contact them directly. After a few emails, and a couple of long nights, I merely decided that the $100 that I had spent were gone, and the device useless.
I gave the piece of equipment to a friend, and she said she'd tinker with it and see if anything good could become of it. A sad end to a depressing story.
In other tales, I have been on a constant quest to expand my Social Media knowledge base. From LinkedIn to Blogger, I have been accessing new websites and how they can be used as the world expands more into the digital age.
www.myyearbook.com has an interesting way to interact in Social Media. As opposed to Facebook, it allows for community News Feeds, rather than simply your own social circle, allowing for people to interact with those they've never met before deciding if they want them within their social circle.
However, the site seems to have become the new myspace for teenage internet bullying and sexcipades. Not a day goes by when, accessing the feed, I find a "Me so horny" or "I'm alone, text me" at least 10 times on the feeds, leading me to believe that the myyearbook staff doesn't care that this is a breeding ground for sexual predators.
Well folks, I'm off to work. Later!
