Super Unblurred Vision Takes a Sembreak
Five months swiftly passed. In my mind, it is still vivid how anxious I was to start this communication blog. Hesitations, fears, doubts… I thought the task was going to be so tough. To my surprise, it turned out to be not as hard and almost impossible as I expected it to be. There may be moments of writer’s block but I was amazed at how therapeutic this blogging requirement came to be. I felt that my voice can figuratively be heard here.
As I’ve mentioned in my introductory post, this is not my first time to blog but this is probably the first time for me to take blogging seriously. I have come to appreciate how wonderful blogging can be. I have learned and understood social media even more. I became more aware.
As a recap to my treasured comm blog experience so far, here are my posts arranged from most to least recent.

Everyone is starting to join the social media bandwagon. Organizations and brands want to be seen online. They make efforts to connect with their consumers and market prospects. These they do through social media. The question is “are they doing it right?”
Once in your life, maybe you got fed up with how certain brands or companies behave online. Here are four things companies need to seriously stop doing. (more…)
Harry Potter and the Anatomy of Buzz Revisited
Last September, I finally got to use my early access to Pottermore—the official ebook selling and gaming website for Harry Potter. A quick fact, I became a Potterhead only this August. So just when I thought I was so late to join the craze, another horcrux of the internationally highly-acclaimed series has materialized. (more…)
Will Facebook Be The New LinkedIn?
Video chat, Subscribe button, Refurbished Newsfeed, That Stalker-friendly Tinker thing…These are just some of the recent changes introduced by a major yet gradual Facebook facelift. As the website’s loyal users, we ask “what will be next?” Obviously, Mark Zuckerberg has cooked up more revamping features during the F8 Developers’ Convention last September 22.

It says that today’s work is divided into even much smaller and more targeted tasks. These tasks are usually those which certain companies do not do well so they outsource it from a pool of freelance workers. With the aid of advanced communication technology, work has become more specific. So specific it is that hyperspecialized tasks include doing powerpoint presentations, (more…)
Cubicle battle: SNS Versus Your Boss
Companies now invest time and effort in setting up and updating Facebook pages, Twitter accounts and blogs, among others, to market themselves and their products on the web. But what if one day while you are sitting in front of your work PC inside your cubicle, quickly checking your Facebook account, your boss walks up to you and says, “No Facebook at work. This is your first warning” How would you react? Maybe it will depend on whether your company has existing rules about social media use in the workplace or not. (more…)
