Thoughts on Kietzmann and the Honeycomb
The Kietzmann article Helped me to situate my thinking about how to approach my blog. As I welcome myself to the social media ecology I can't help but to comment about the jungle otherwise called the internet. It's pretty wild. I've been hesitant to join in. Not sure about why anyone would be interested in what I have to say. I definitely don't have the time because I know what it takes to create high quality content. This will be a lo fi attempt. There are so many awesome blogs and podcasts that there is never a point in my life where I have to sit and not be consuming. I actually have to choose silence because it's not the default. As the blog matures I hope to refine the process and develop my relationships with the readers. Inspired by the Kietzmann's honeycomb of social media I have made one for this blog that I hope provides a direction for the functionality of this blog. I hope this framework provides a ecosystem that will accept any individual who can illuminate and shine as we try to emulate the brightness that beams from the stars in the sky.
Side note.
Was Facebook at the right place and the right time? Or are they just that awesome of a social media network? Because there were social networks before Facebook and there have been social networks since Facebook. Still none have the same hold on the public as Facebook. Things like this intrigue me.
Anyways, I'm happy to contribute to the 100 million blogs up and running on the internet. Looking forward to discussions about RSS feeds. I had no idea it was this easy to combine my favorite places on the internet.
While reading the Keitzmann article, I tuned in specifically to the social media functionality of conversation and how important this particular aspect is to blogs and microblogs. However, without the relationships, it's pretty much one-sided. Looking forward to reading some more posts as the course continues.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good side note about Facebook being incredibly strong today compared to other sites that have came and gone. I think one key to their success has been their ability to adapt to the public's changing needs and technology. I remember when FB started you need a school address to join, then it was open for all public users. Since then, they've implemented many tools that have met the competition. For example, like Whatsapp, they now have a calling feature. With every new added feature, Facebook makes it so you don't have to leave the site to get what you want.
