Well, here I go....who would have thought I'd be writing a blog?! I've told some of my friends and family about the assignment for the eBusiness Principles class I'm taking and have received mixed reactions. Some say "cool", while others have told me I'm "not an angry enough person to write a blog" (which I was happy to hear), or chuckled and said "better you than me" (which I was not happy to hear).
When I signed up for the eBusiness Principles class, my objective was simply to get an overview of social media and how it can be used in business since it appears that's the way the marketplace is heading. Although I have worked in marketing communications for many years, I had not ventured into the world of social media, except for my LinkedIn account or to hear stories of online dating and Facebook posts from friends and relatives. I've skimmed articles in newspapers and magazines about Twitter, Facebook and My Space if the title caught my eye and I've paid attention to tv news stories related to social media if the segment sounded like it would be interesting, but I never had a good understanding of what it all entailed. So, in thinking it was time for me to take a baby step into the world of social media that everyone is always talking about, I enrolled in the class. Little did I know I would actually be an active participant within four weeks of walking into the classroom.
Over the next few weeks, I will write on nothing in particular - just whatever I can think of that may bring a smile to someone's face or a "been there done that" thought to someone who may stumble upon my blog.....thus the title Random Ramblings From Marilyn. If you have an idea for a topic, or a thought on anything I write, please feel free to leave a comment.
So there you have it.....my first blog post. I think I've rambled enough for now, but check back frequently - I'll have more Random Ramblings as the weeks go on.
