E-mail tips

April 13, 2009

Skylar Litton commented on Brenna Bassler's blog post 'E-mail no longer useful? Not true!'

Congrats on the internship! I also feel behind on this whole social media thing, but I am starting to get the hang of it. I just now feel comfortable with Twitter, I think it's a great way to communicate, but I still would rather use e-mail when try…

A lot of us are "making our way" in understanding how to manage social media and determine what forms of it work best for us. You're not alone in your frustration! You're right, though, e-mail is still a very essential tool for communicating. As Meg…

Brenna and Marissa, I also feel like I am lagging behind the rest of the class! The thing with social media is that you put your message out there and you aren't sure who is going to see it, read it or respond to it. And with e-mail, the person you…

Don't fear you are not alone. Like you, I think I don't I have the strongest grasp on all the social media tools and it can be intimidating hearing all these knowledgeable people talk about social media in a way I never realized. I see the use of th…

nicest school at Oklahoma State University?

Since I've been here at Oklahoma State University I have made an observation. Now this is completely opinion, but I would venture to say that the students, faculty and staff are by far the nicest on campus in the School of Journalism and Broadcast.

All but two of my classes for the past two semesters have been in the JB school and before that I have had at least one or two of my classes in the JB building. I have spent a significant amount of time there. I have also spent ample time in other bu… Continue

Taking Over

So this week (20 April) Oklahoma State University's JB4520 Social Media class will be taking over PRopenmic.org. Our professor, Bill Handy, was asked by the creator of PRopenmic.org if our class would be interested in doing this. He had already let his own class do at and had some students at Auburn lined up to do this as well.

After discussing it in class we collectively decided that it would be great exposure for all of us and OSU. We put together a strategy team, and they thought of ideas an… Continue

E-mail no longer useful? Not true!

I am still one of the few people in JB4520, I think, that still doesn't have a strong grasp on all this social media stuff. I try, I stay relatively engaged, and try to keep up with the newest stuff. I don't know how to make anything "fancy" or anything like that . . . I sit in class and listen to all these people that know so much about it. It's intimidating! To me anyways! All these people are getting recognized for their work and such, their knowledge of the social world.

I would like to arg… Continue
