Social media has become a huge mass movement around the globe and the newest trend in the PR industry. Types of social media include: facebook, twitter, blogger, Linkedin, weebly and many others that I personally haven’t looked into yet.
I personally have made a lot of PR business connections through my LinkedIn account and hope that by keeping communication lines open I will find a job that pertains to my interests. I have also heard that a lot of people are getting jobs through connections made on twitter. I want to gain more experience with these sites to further my interests in life and gain a better understanding of how all of these work.
I have found that I can keep up with various interests such as world news, sports, food and fashion in an instant through my twitter account that sends me updates every hour. It’s very interesting to be connected to the whole world through these websites.
The trend of social media has really started to become bigger part of my life since I started volunteering for Tomorrow’s Hope. http://www.tomorrowshope.org/about_us
Tomorrow’s Hope is a non-profit organization in Jefferson, Wisconsin that donates money to the benefit of public care, support, research and education for those affected by life-limiting illness. I hope that everyone will check out this website and facebook in hopes to make organization bigger and more beneficial to even more people in southern Wisconsin. Tomorrow’s Hope is a great example of using social media for PR.
