Last week in class we talked about Malcolm Gladwell’s book, The Tipping Point. I am really enjoying this book because there are so many trends I have seen spread in a short amount of time. A good example I can really relate to is Facebook. I had no idea what the website was until I came to Rider University in Fall 2004. Now, I can’t imagine life without it and I bet many people can say the same. Sad. I know. What an amazing power marketing and PR have.
I have been thinking about what it takes for just one person to deliver an idea or trend to the public. I know that it takes one very good plan to market the trend to reach the right audience that will spread the idea even more.
That brings me to blogs. I will admit, I think that they are a great way to tip a product, but how I am adjusting to writing one is still up in the air for me.
I give myself 2 more weeks before I fall in love with blogs.
I think you’ll start to like blogging more as you get into it. It’s totally informal…probably one of the few times in college when you actually sound like you. And after all, isn’t that every writer’s dream?
