Week 1 Original

Prior to taking this course, I have heard about social media marketing but have little experience using it. Apart from using e-mail, I have no experience using any other social media although I have heard about facebook, twitter, flicker among others.

Although myspace has been in existence for sometime now and is now being considered "obsolete" I never used it when people especially young men and students were clamouring for it. The basis of my not using those social media apart from e-mail was to protect my privacy.

After a few days into this course, I have come to realize that social media has become the order of the day and the best way of getting connected to friends as well as businesses and networking.

My first assignment in this class "What is Delicious" has been an eye opener for me and has increased my interest in participating in social media marketing.

I am now convinced that by the end of this course, i will gain more insight into social media marketing that will help me in my daily life as well as anywhere i find myself.
