I explained in one of my previous blog posts how in love I am with Skype. I especially love it now that I can use it on my cell phone. Last weekend I was at a horse show helping with my company’s booth and I was able to video skype with my boss at random times during the day to let her know how it was going and she could give me pointers. Such a great way to stay connected at work even if you’re in completely different places. We were joking about how if someone’s “working from home” you can give them a little jingle on skype and check up on them to make sure it wasn’t just a day off.
When I was in middle school, chat rooms were my favorite thing in the entire world. I would spend hours talking to my best friends or the guy I happened to have a crush on..Now I hop on Facebook chat every once in a while but for the most part my communications are almost entirely texting. Specific chat rooms like AIM are just one more thing online that I would have to keep track of. It’s much easier to just use the one that’s built into the site I already spend all my time on.
I’m sure I had a huge dumb smile on my face when I was reading about Doodle because I know it’s going to be a total life saver for me. I’m the New Member Educator of my sorority and it’s impossible to find a day that works for everyone for our meetings. I’m definitely going to be using this site to organize that.
The only commandment from this chapter is “thou shalt explore” and I certainly intend to do plenty of that!
Social Media Scoop! 
Great example for use of Skype. Keep thinking of creative useful ways to use new media to connect with audiences.
You did a good job on your blogs. Remember to utilize the multimedia features that blogs are great for, like embedding videos, clicking links to other sites, etc. Aren’t you glad you’re done with this?
I actually really enjoyed this book and the blog postings I just wish I wasn’t so swamped with everything else going on this summer so I could have focused more intently on everything. Didn’t plan on my internship taking up so much outside time! Almost caught up on everything now so hopefully I can give that last paper my 100% attention and make it a great one.
