Professor and Class
My hope is that each and everyone of you are successful in your professional careers. I am now, in my last week here at Kaplan University. I would like to express , I have had an outstanding experience while attending classes here at this University. I was very apprehensive about my personal ability to meet the rigorous requirements of attending a four year college. Now successful completion leads me to new challenges.
The staff and the students have all been wonderful. Although I have spent numerous hours on the computer interacting in discussion boards, seminars, and assignments, the time seems to have gone quickly. I would advise any of you who have thought of leaving school to stick it out. You will be better for having completed your goal, as I am sure I am.
Good Luck, God Bless.

Social Media & Business
Hello Professor and Class, My name
is Craig Crow.
I am going to discuss Social media and some of
the various ways business can utilize this technology, I am also going to
address the affects of this technology in regards to my personal relationship
with business.
Social media is a cost effective alternative to
conventional marketing communication.
Social media require a minimal investment. Marketing can amount to as much as fifty percent of a business ‘ annual
budget. Businesses spend this capital in an effort reach a target demographic
and inform that group of the products or
services that they have to offer. With the advent of social media, business now
have a digital tool that offers a four prong approach to
reaching their potential customers. These tools are Blogs, Microblogs, social networks
and podcasts.
The digital - environment - eliminates the constraints
of time and space. Social media requires only that the business provide the digital content
that best represents the organizatoin. This allows the potential customer an
opportunity to reseach products and services over the internet.
Of course, for
social media to be effective a business must be willing to develop and maintain
their digital presence.
I have often turned to various types of social media to enrich my
understanding of topics and products that interest me. For
example, I use blogs to develop a deeper understanding of a product, such as a
graphic card I wish to install on a PC . I use microblogs to keep up to date on
recent develpments in the superbike racing teams I follow. I am also particullarilly interested in using
podcasts to gather an indepth knowledge of places I am planning to visit on my
next mountaineering adventure. Podcast presentations produced by outfitters
allow me to prescreen their services and abilities proior to making any trip
planning decisions. In a sense, the interaction that social media provides
allow us to communicate more effcetivey than ever before.
I would advise all businesses to build a digital presences that represents their brand, their products, and their
services, this is vital in todays economy. Businesses have the opportunity to utilize a technology
that is the newest and most affordable marketing tool available. Social media provides
all businesses the ability to reach the local, regional , and global market place.
In conclusion, I
would like to thank you, for your time
and attention. You can reach me through

Final thoughts
Close to the end
The time we have spent together seems to have slipped by rather quickly. I would like to thank all of the members of the class (team) for everything they have inspired me to accomplish. I could not have worked with a more professional group. I have enjoyed the seminars and Professors Ramos' efforts, in teach us. He has been very patient and helpful in all he has provided his students. My knowledge of social media has been greatly enhanced.

I would like to thank all of you for allowing me to take time away from your busy schedules. I am using this blog in an effort to maintain a line of communication between the class and myself, Via social media.
Social media is an important part of the age of information technology. It allows us to stay connected both personally and professionally, building networks of friends and colleagues.
I have decided upon Google blogger because I am somewhat familiar with the inter-workings of the site. I have used this forum for the requirements of previous courses here at Kaplan. I have found that it is quite user friendly and it allow the user to compile a blog in the manner which they feel is appropriate.
