TODAY IN PR CLASS: TWO HOURS OF TWITTER
Yes, jealous much? Today we spent the first two hours at the college creating Twitter accounts and exploring the Twitter world. I had already created an account, and if you visit my first tweet ever, I joined solely for CreComm purposes. It can be seen here at my Twitter account, lennieanne. Just like blogging, however, I noticed that I slowly had to get my "tweet-groove" going. I would tweet, maybe, once a day or every two days, and they happened to be very irrelivant. I don't know if it happens to be a CreComm revelation, but after listening to Melanie explain the opportunities one has with Twitter, I began adding and tweeting like a mad woman. My list of Twitter members that I'm following just doubled, and the members following me tripled (then again they happen to be my fellow Section 1-ers).

This compares to my blogging experience. As stated in my previous post, I would barely blog. Now, however, even when I spot something interesting, or discus something interesting, or come across anything that interests me I just can't wait to blog about it. The wonders of CreComm and Web 2.0!

I've decided to change my apporach to blogging and tweeting. This isn't only about personal networking, it's about social networking. Rather than keep everything personal, I must explore local and social options. For example, because this is a fashion blog, I don't have to only blog about my fashion interests - which is what I've been doing! I have to be a little more proactive and discuss Winnipeg news and current issues and what's in the media! I've been to narrow minded, and in CreComm that's definitely a "no-no." So if I once again begin to trend into a too "personal" view point, let me know! I don't expect you to slap my hands when indulged on a keyboard and have you scold "Bad, Lennie." A friendly reminder would suffice. Thanks, friends!

CONFESSIONS OF A FASHION-AHOLIC ♥

My name is Lennie Eulalia and I am a CreComm student in the joint program. I am currently working towards a career in Public Relations, hopefully towards something in Fashion and Sales. As guessed, I work in clothing retail as a Senior Sales Associate for Aritzia which I hope will help me communicate my love of fashion, and hopefully develop my career in the long run.
