Just talking
SARCASM WARNING!
People warn you about the internet. The government does, your teachers, parents maybe. The basic content of that warning is something like: 'don't put things on the internet'.
Great job people. Whoever thought of that must be a genius. Because it is obvious that it help's. Internet is after all not at all fun or profitable. And there is absolutely no random 'stuff' on the world wide web.
Just type in 'random stuff' on Google. Or, if you live in the past/ are a fossile/ are an absolute computer noob, another searchengine.
I found a website of which the slogan "This is the stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else on the site. If it did, it'd be there, but it doesn't, so it's here" is.
See if you can find the site ;)
If you're ever bored... which you probably are, just look this stuff up. It's really good. Unless of course you don't have a sense of humour.

Mobile phone background
Today in class we talked about software and hardware. During class, there were a few minutes I was not totally concentrated. Only a few minutes. Honestly. Maybe 10. 15. Anyway, I found myself another activity: taking pictures with my phone. I know, very common, everybody does it.
I personally like to take pictures of things from a very short distance. So you can hardly see what it is. Today, I took pictures of water, my agenda, written tekst, pens and stuff like that. And I wrote a message for my sister (Stay off my phone) and made it my background:D
These days you can do so much with your phone, but there is an application I haven't found on my phone (yet). My idea was to choose an order of appearance of backgrounds on your mobile phone. The fun you can have with that!
First background says: Stay off my phone! Then you put the phone away and next time you open it, it says: Yes, I mean you!
And the next one: Seriously, back off!
Next one: Ok, NOW I'm getting angry.
And so on. It's actually the same thing as all those annoying commercials of Jamba. You know: "Now! A fart on your mobile! Shock your friends, text 0909 etc." It's fun to make something like that up, but that people actually buy it scares me a little.

Annoyance!
Talking about social media!
Twitter is so annoying! I clicked 'find people'. Did I find people? Yes, I did, but unfortunately it was 10 % of the Dutch population! How am I supposed to find someone without knowing what their exact twittername is?
I told my computer to do what I want, but it doesn't listen:(
This is not only a problem with Twitter. Has anyone of you found out how to find people's blogs? Without getting the exact adress from Twitter? It is a miracle if you have. Or... I'm just stupid. That's a possibility too. But sometimes computers make me so angry! There are too many things you can and should do on the internet/computer.
Almost everyone has a hyves nowadays. Everybody knows how it works, how to add friends and how to find people (allthough that is not easy either), and Twitter works somewhat the same. But finding blogs.. whole different thing.
So if you have an interesting blog, please post it by comments, I will definitely read it!
Oh, quote of the day: Actually I don't remember being born, it must have happened during one of my black outs. By the Lizard King. (AKA Jim Morrison)

Two weeks ago they told us to get a Twitter account. We should know how it works, so we can better estimate the value of it. My first reaction was: HELL NO! It's stupid and unneccesary, I am NOT, I repeat NOT going to get a Twitter account.
So I got myself a Twitter account.
And it is actually fun(A) The trick is that all the messages you get are oneliners. So there is no option but to keep it short and to the point. I like that. People create way to much unneccesary text. I'm not saying Twitter is always neccessary or even coherent for that matter. It is just easy to read, easy to use and fun. You'll be amazed what people can say in one sentence.
I love to post stupid facts. You know, the ones that don't make sense at all (like American Law). Or quotes! From movies or series... The one everyone knows;
Why.. so.. serious?

Hello everybody,
Welcome to my blog about Media Use In Organisations. On this blog I'll be keeping track of my experiences and opinions about Social Media.
People read about things they know they like. Therefore, when they see a name or sentence that has a concept in it that they know, they are (in my opinion) more likely to read it. For companies, it is important that they know how to use social media in order to promote their product.
Does anybody know the site failblog.org? It is a social media system where people post crazy, funny and sometimes incredible weird stuff. Pictures, products, and videos are the main things that people post. On the right side of the website is a advertisement-banner, where all kinds of companies advertise. I once saw an advertisement about retro clothing there, so I visited the site and saw some amazing stuff. It turned out to be a very expensive 'click' for me.
What I mean to say is that companies should be aware of the power of Hyves, Facebook, Failblog in advertising. This generation is all about the internet and all the fun things you can do with it, so my advise to all companies is to respond to that and give the people what they want!
