When I first thought about how much social media I use in my life, I could only think of one thing: Facebook. As I read further into Content Nation, I realized that social media is very much a part of my life. I use Facebook to connect with people who I lost touch with and stay updated on my friends' lives. I used LinkedIn for similar reasons, but in the business world. It is a great tool to build a network. Clearly, I use Blogger to talk out my life and experiences in a public forum. I use Wikipedia to gather basic knowledge on various topics. I can upload and watch videos on YouTube. Flickr allows me to the same with photos. Social media allows anyone to share their passions with others throughout the world. I am not as immersed in the social media world as others. People can literally live alternate lives through Second Life. Clearly, social media is the new frontier. It gives us the power to do things we previously thought impossible. It seems that the possibilities are endless. We need to realize that it is a way of life, not just a fad.

Xtra Normal Movie
This is our group's example of a bad interview on both the part of the interviewer and interviewee. The website Xtranormal.com was very fun and innovative and allowed anyone to make a movie. We struggled with camera angles and hopefully we cna improve for nex time. All in all, I think it was a cool experience to really make a movie on our own.

Team Project
Our team is doing out digital storytelling project on What is Passion? It will be an indepth look into what is passion to each of our team members. We will have an introduction with narration and general statements. Then we will go into individual storytelling. I plan on talking about running and my team as they are both huge parts of my life and something that I care deeply about. After individual stories, we will unite our ideas and tie everything together with a broad conclusion.
