This is just something I wanted to show you. Most of you probably saw these videos already.. But they're worth posting up and looking at again!
Some genius on YouTube decided to take a few clips from Postman Pat cartoons, edit them about, and make him out to be the rawest culchie going!!
Enjoy watching if you didn't see them!
This is probably the best known one.. A little adventure of Pat's!
Pat tries making a go-kart!
He gives a friend a lift..
Pat gets stuck..Again :)
Here's a more recent one!
And I think I'll leave it at that! There's 11 videos all together..They're all done by johnser007, definitely worth watching if you like the couple that's here!
How would you find out about the people your friends are always talking about? Like the ones you never met..
How would you remember what "yer wan from last night" looked like?
How would you hear about people's private embarrassing stories?
Where would you get to see friend's pictures from good times together?
Yeh.. We all use social networking for a bitta "creeping"... Even if we won't admit to it :)
But then, how would we get through sticking to the computer for those long assignments if we didn't have facebook to log onto and moan about how stupid the assignments are?? (Not that they are actually that stupid.. We just get fed up of them!)
It all started with bebo...
The social networking phase started off with bebo. I remember setting it up when I was just 14. Unfortunately we still had the old dial up connection for the internet. The folks weren't too happy when the bill arrived seeing as I was full time on bebo. Bebo was thought to be amazing, you had your own space on the internet, you could put up your own thoughts, share your photos, talk to friends.. Nobody saw anything like it before.. So most people got a little bit addicted :)
Then it was facebook...
Next came the more modern and "mature" facebook. It was a slow move for a lot of young people to set themselves up on it... Myself included!
It was considered to be a site for "auld wans".. But that soon changed!
Now people can't go without it.. Walk into any computer lab in the college and at least one person is logged in on their facebook. Even people walking around the college, they're on it on their phones!
This is the new addiction :)
I think this video explains a lot about facebook.... :)
And here's one showing facebook if it was in real life!
I was a little bit afraid this is what we'd have
to be like for Online PR...Not anymore! :)
So.. What is Online PR? That's the question that went around in my head before my first class. If I look on moodle, it'll tell me that...
"The medium of the Internet is a powerful tool for quickly and cheaply accessing audiences of previously unimaginable numbers. This module will introduce students to techniques and activities that enable them to use this medium as an effective Public Relations tool."
Now to me, that's a bit.... *Ugh!*
However, after our first class I was intrigued.. We were told to log onto Facebook.. That was handier than "shnaaking" on during class.. We learned that the advertisements on your page are picked out specifically for you.. Isn't that a bit.. creepy? But interesting...
We also started learning how to write in html code.. That doesn't sound too appealing.. But it is enjoyable..
The theory end covers online advertising, e-commerce.. How all that stuff works.. I'm still not fit to talk in the "techy" language yet.. As you can probably tell!
This is a bit more like my perception of
Online PR people now...
So far it's probably my favourite subject on my course.. And I'm not just saying that.. It's very interesting..
We've just decided that we're going to have our theory test for it on December 2nd.. That should tell a few tales.. :) Hopefully it'll go well, I found the content of the course pretty interesting so I hope to do well with a bit of revision!
Hmmm.... Yeh, you're probably wondering what the title is about! Well, not to worry, I'm not in a pissy mood or anything... But it did make you interested, didn't it? :)
I'm sitting here in S208.. Yano, the room that's always free with the computers..? And I've the Blizzards blasting in my ears. Currently playing is "Dangerous Bitches".
There you are if you wanna have a listen.. It's a catchy tune! Although it may not be the best video of the song available, it's all I could get! :)
I only got into The Blizzards from Slane 2009.. They were some of the warm up acts for Oasis that year. That was an epic concert!
I remember it well, we just arrived into the grounds on time to see The Blizzards starting off.. There wasn't too many about that early so we hadn't to queue too long for beers :)
There in the pic is my sis,
the brother in law, and myself at Slane!
So anyway, I'm supposed to be in Colin's class right now.. (sorry Colin!) But I've a lot of assignments to do.. And I find it very hard to get motivated to do them! Anyone else the same? :) So college is the only place I'll sit down and do a bitta work.. There's too many distractions at home.. Work, Friends, Socialising.. It's not easy! :) But now that I have sat down and started doing a bit.. I need a break.. And I said I'd come to Blogger instead of the usual Bookface.. (Although I'll probably still end up on it after this..)
Anyway, I better get back to tackling this stack of work... Perhaps a little bit of facebook first :)
