I was the “Market Crash” for the office Halloween party this year. This weekend I wil be the Corpse Bride. I consider this a great success and I thought I would write an update on that. You never know who is reading your blog and anxiously waiting for some follow-up.
But enough about Halloween costumes… I’m growing up.
And on the topic of users following your blogs, updates and things that are scary… I have been all about social media for the past few days, trying to teach myself how to make good use of it for things not necessarily related to my need for an outlet for self-expression. As any good PR practicioner (do we still use that word? I JUST stepped out of college where the language of textbooks is sometimes the one and only and every time I say “practicioners” I get strange looks. And with good reason-words like “practicioners” don’t stand a chance in a world of junkies, geeks, peeps, techies, you name it) in his/her 20s in the year 2008 should do, I am staying on top of trends, learning from what others who have years upon years of experience in the field are doing and have to say, figuring out who the influential people and publications are, etc. etc. Thanks to my ever-growing number of social media accounts, however, this task is turning out to be at the very least a part-time job.
One thing I am very thankful for is other people’s own efforts for trying to keep everything as current as possible and, more than anything, doing so in a way that is refreshing and enjoyable once you get past the impact of the first blast of all that is out there. Once again, I am given a reason to believe that this world is a wonderful place because of the minds that inhabit it and happily contribute to it. Oh… but you can go ahead and take Joe the Builder… wait… that’s Tito… well… take them both out of that statement.
Happy Halloween!
