Zeta Week

Okay so monday kicked off Zeta week.. My sorority Zeta Phi Beta is having events and community ervice this week to celebrate being on campus and to inform people of our sorority. I love being in my in my Sorority so there will be more to come on this week. but tonight is the Sisterhood forum and I feel we are more than knowledge than ever to discuss this topic!!!

Presentation in Class

Today we did a presentation in class. I believe we did an excellent job. Our chapter was 11 and it was collaborating on wiki and gave us very different companies that used and were successful in groundswell. I really enjoyed this book but that's another blog all together. But back to the presentation, it was short and to the point and we knew the information. I can say I understand the wiki portion of groundswell . I can say that if i wanted to create a wiki for my boyfriends small business I could with this book.

Strategic Planning for Groundswell

Okay so today in class we presented our project on chapter 4 strategic planning. I must say I learned a lot from how companies tap into groundswell. I'm sure listing all the good in strategic planning would be time consuming but all I can say is that I enjoyed presenting useful information and hopefully I helped some one understand chapter 4 of the book Groundswell.

Spring Break

Okay so my plans for spring break is to go to Miami, FL and I can hardly wait. This will be my first time on a plan as well as in Miami. I have been to Florida many times. Disney world and Universal Studios were places my family visited often on our vacations. I must say that I was blessed as a child to have a mother who cared about her children and gave them the world if she could but was also realistic. I enjoyed my times in Orlando but it is time for a new scenery. I am 21 and moms is not gonna be with me on this trip. But I do remember how I was raised and know my rights from wrongs but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna have a great time.

That week it is also my nephew's first birthday. I am too excited bout this as well. I cannot miss his birthday or his birthday party. I was not there for his birth so I have to be there for this and that means my vacation will be cut short but that is alright with me. I value my family way too much to miss out on the great things. Life is too short!

Groundswell

I am interested in reading the book Groundswell by Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff. I only read the summary but from that is states that they have many cases as to how technology has helped many top companies increase sales and knowledge from tapping into the power of technology that is with the times like blogging, twitter, facebook as well as original sales pitches. I'm sure if I was in the business world or owned my own company at this present moment, this book would be a great help but I know that learning this information now is great. You can never have enough knowledge!

This book also got me thinking about my goals and aspirations after I graduate and get an even higher level of education. I want not only to work in database and computer info systems as well as have my own consulting firm . I'm pretty sure i will need knowledge and innovation n to get me the results i want. I know that this is a learning process and to take in as much as i can. I know that one day my hard work will pay off!

Twitter

I have no idea what twitter is all about. Is it like the status portion only of facebook. I assume that you just update your feelings and people follow what you do and get updates on what you do. I mean i can do all of that on facebook. Plus everyone I know is on facebook and i can interact with them more on facebook. On twitter everyone has different names and its hard for you to look them up. So I am use to facebook but I guess twitter is like facebok in a way. I do know alot of people on twitter but I dont think it is as big as facebook. I know I always said I would never do Twitter cause I dont understand it but if I needed to find out sum info on someone i would get on it for sure lol!

New Beginings

It has been a minute since my last blog. Alot has been going on and have not had the time at all. From the flu to anxiety attacks it has been one heck of a week. In my INFS 3500 the exam was harder than I expected and i didnt do so good. I have to juggle alot with my 18 hours but I know that I can do it. I dont see anything that happened to blog about except my emergency room visits. But here I go getting back into blogging!
