Social Media Cartoon
Originally uploaded by Marcelo_Prais

Consider this cartoon as a light hearted introduction to social media topics in the works (more social media cartoons and jokes at Social Media Jokes). I'm picking up on the MountainView Telegraph's recent (well done but cursory) introduction by Ashley Bergen on local use of social media, "Little Towns. Big Voices" to resume Mountainair Wired series, inundated unto procrastination in links, ideas, subtopics. So thank you Ashley and MVT for the nudge. Feel free to go all web 2.0 and put your 2¢ in too.


Where to start Dear Readers? Let's crowdsource the task.  You answer the article's basic interview by e-mail questions:

• Why do small communities like Mountainair embrace social networking?
  
• How did you get started using social media?
  
• What are the benefits of social media? What do you get out of using social/media?
  

And a few more from me:

• What are social media anyway?
  
• What are the differences between Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0? 
  
• How many social media can you name without pausing to catch your breath?
  

 (What is this? A quiz? Yes but not to worry: you won't be graded)

• Which social media do you use/ use the most?
• How/why do you use them? (i.e. socially, professionally or both)
• How many of your family, friends and colleagues also use social media?  
More to come.... stay connected...
