The Importance of Communication

When making our facebook pages communication was important. We needed to communicate with

someone who knew about our organization about history on the organization. Many people needed to

take pictures or videos of people so, they needed to tell others about the project. Lots of people in

general instead of e-mailing someone will say “Ill send it to you on facebook” or “Ill facebook you”.

Facebook is perfect for marketing because, you can reach any one with computer access in the world. It is so easy to meet people on the computer now, some are legitimate but some people are not who they say they are. Tons of businesses offer free internet connections, from car service stations to hotels, coffee shops, restaurants, and libraries. There really is no excuse now not to have a computer account of some kind. I learned so much about events at buffalo state and groups/places I never knew existed. Facebook is a good way to spread the word about a product or service. The right side of the facebook page is dedicated to ad's and people or groups you might know.

This project was a lot easier than the ones in the past. Trying to fins 3 groups/organizations was a bit difficult. There were a few times I was confused on how things were suppose to look and I could look at classmates pages for a model to look at to make sure I was doing things right. When making my personal facebook page I just threw some things together blindly. Now that I've learned how to do more things on facebook I found myself redoing my personal page.

Before taking this class I was a bit anti technology. Now I sill don't like the impact of technology on the environment but it makes it easier for people to communicate, you can have your music, email accounts, books, bills, watch TV, and have your phone all in the palm of your hand. A friend of mine is getting married in the fall, the Bride lives in Oakfeild NY, I live in North Tonawanda, another brides-made lives in Victor NY and two others are out of state. My friend finds dresses she likes and sends every one a link either via phone or facebook and every one will respond with their opinions. With it being difficult for every one to be together at the same time the internet makes planning so easy.
