Poor U.S. Economy?

Heres a thought from one of my colleagues- "I read that black Friday sales were into the multiple billions. Is the economy really that bad when people are still spending frivolously on Christmas/Holiday gifts? Also by querying MoveThatBlock, you see there are at least 1.3M vacant jobs in this country. Are we being fooled by the media or political engines or is the US economy really in shambles?"


I think this is an interesting point! Whose to say what the employment rate really is? Are we as a whole gullible to believe what the media is telling us is always true? Just a thought :) Happy Wednesday! 

Social Medias

Happy Monday!

As I was sitting in the office today, scrolling through our company's Facebook page, twitter account and LinkedIn profile, I was wondering how much social medias has change our lives? I have been very successful in contacting reporters through social media outlets. Using social medias to get in contact with reporters has definitely made my job much easier. Viewing their profiles and keeping updated on their lives has made connecting with them much easier. How has social medias affected other peoples professional lives as well?!? I know it has probably caused some problems for relationships. Now, since the creation of social medias such as MySpace or Facebook, couples can check up on each other. Certain wall posts, tagged pictures or statuses could cause some disruption in certain relationships. This just adds another dynamic to the already stressful circumstances couples must face.

How has social media affected your life?!?
