Unit 1: MK225 - Internet Marketing (Discussion Questions)

UNIT 1: OCTOBER 3rd - 9th, 2011

ASSIGNED READING:

Read the attached article on Internet Usage and 

Chapters 1 & 2 of your textbook Internet Marketing and e-Commerce

DISCUSSION QUESTION A:

Introduce yourself and tell the class a little about your background, your level of experience with distance education, and your level of expertise with marketing. You can find my background information in the Instructor section of the course.  Start a new thread for your initial posting.

DISCUSSION ANSWER A:

My name is Dylan John Mazziotti, I am a graphic designer (lennondesign.com) and artist (nothingleftart.com). I currently have 2 associate degrees from Eagle Gate College. Currently, I am now working on my Bachelors degree at Broadview University in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have taken a small handful classes while earning my other degrees. I am always for new ways to market myself to new clients.

DISCUSSION QUESTION B:

Chapter 2 describes how multimedia convergence is a promising area of internet development.  Some of the best examples of this are online video games, augmented reality, and apps for mobile devices like the Stella Artois le bar guide (iTunes), which combines augmented reality, GPS, photography, social networks and a host of other technologies.  Find an example of multimedia convergence to share with the rest of the class and describe how the digitizing process makes it possible. (YouTube is a great place to look for videos of examples as well as an example itself.) Make sure you do not use an example that another student has already used.

DISCUSSION ANSWER B:

Yesterday (10/04/2011), Apple announced the NEW! iOS5 operating system for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. There was list of features announced, but what I wanted to share for this discussion question was the Twitter integration feature. With your device you can post to twitter directly from your photos, YouTube, maps and more. Unfortunately, this feature isn't available to the public until next week....
I will like do a review of it on my social media blog at: social-lgd.blogspot.com!
