Most of you know I'm in grad school getting a master's in IMC. This quarter I have 'New Media' which looks at ...what else? Blogging, Web 2.0, SEM, SEO, CGM, social media, etc. We will also look at ethical,social, and political issues concerning these various media. For our final project, I have to launch a new blog where I post about the various forms of new media, my observations and opinions, and how I see them being used most effectively.
I'll have a link to my "new" blog posted by tomorrow. Funny how things come full-circle, because I sort of started this blog out looking at parts of new media pertaining to branding online.

Krista - I'm very interested to see what goes on in this class. Coming out of school with an engineering degree, I've always wondered what benefit a marketing background would have - specifically given all of the hot stuff today (social media) is being made-up as we go ;)
Amidst your busy schedule, try to keep this new blog updated and I promise you'll have a loyal subscriber!
@Tim: Thanks for your comment. You are correct about the 'made-up as we go part'; to wit, we do not have a textbook for this class because there isn't one yet. We have weekly assigned readings and lesson topics written by our instructor as well as outside reading. He noted WVU feels they are on the cutting edge of this subject, so I am also anxious to soak up all I can.
Also, this blog serves as our Final Project and significant % of our grade. We are required to post a minimum of 20 times by the end of the quarter, so there should be a lot of information for you to read.
