Response to CNN Twitter Article

Goodmorning all! :) I, myself am a big fan of Twitter. I use it for business purposes by following fashion and cosmetic companies. My favorite person to follow is well known make up artist, Kandee Johnson. I get her "Tweets" on my phone about new products she's giving reviews about or her new videos posted on YouTube. I feel that Twitter is a more convenient way to get updated on certain things you WANT to know about, such as new products/items that are coming out that interest you. I also follow some celebrities just for the hell of it. Perez Hilton is one of my favorites to follow, he's really entertaining lol. I think Twitter has dropped in numbers because it has become ridiculously mainstream in the past year and many of the users that tweet, tweet about the most unecessary information/gossip ever. This probably pushes people away from joining it, making it appear to be a waste of time and pointless to join. Twitter can really benefit people because there are some companies out there who let the public know that they are interested in hiring people for positions(hence why many companies have their own twitter or facebook accounts). No one may know that but it exists. I barely tweet about myself on twitter because I really have any followers haha. I just use it to follow people rather than have people follow me. Maybe one day if I become famous then i'll get a couple million followers ;) Till next time, adios!

Introduction Blog

Hey everyone! This is my first blog ever! My name is Karinna most of my friends and family call me Kara :) I'm a Junior at Montclair State University and plan on graduating Spring 2011. I am Public Relations concentration in the communication department. I created this blog not only for the Public Relations Writing class, but also for the purpose of letting certain thoughts and opinions out that I may have. I'm also big on just talking about random topics and things that go on in my life or in the media. In my blog I plan on talking about topics assigned in class, stuff that happens througout my week, anything related to PR and the media, and probably just random thoughts about something. I took Public Relations Writing because it is a required course for my major and I feel that it would benefit me in the future working as a PR specialist. This course will teach me how to write professionally and have a hands on experience with having an actual client for our future PR project. School mode is so not in session for me lol..hopefully I will get into the groove of things by next week :p..Till next time, goodnight!!
