Guest Speaker Takes Class Online

Ryan Sholin – a veteran blogger came to class Wednesday, February 20^th. I was blown away by the amount of blog sites toured during class. Sholin gave his experienced insight to online communities. These communities ranged from personal sites that connect family/friends/ and in his case – fans to sport/entertainment sites.

From a marketing perspective, I considered Sholin’s list of online blog sites to be opportunities to blog product news/gossip. I’m a PR student and Marketing Intern at a start up South Asian Music Company. This tour opened my eyes to the opportunities that exist for me to promote my campaigns online with key blog sites.

Since online news spreading reaches a larger audience than any other medium, this lecture was helpful in forming my base perspectives of this new medium. Thanks for the new bank of online blog sites Sholin!
