I recently talked with Paul Egan at the Detroit Free Press about how candidates are using social media in the race for governor this year.

Connect, Follow, Tweet

This is social media week in the class. Let's get involved. How about sending some tweets using the hashtag #NMDL or #ADV420. Tweet and follow your profs (@mehraban, @3pointross, @grahamdavis and the class Twitter @msunewmedia).

What Do You Want to Know?

Most of you will have a dozen or more jobs in your lifetime. Some job changes will also mean a different career. Switching jobs is hard enough, career changes can require years of training and acclimating just to be at the same level you were previously.

Formal education and training is an excellent way to prepare for a career, but like all things there are strengths and weaknesses. For example, in this class you've learned the theory of digital marketing but very little of what its like to work as a digital marketer.

Tell a friend

This week I'm asking you to help us out. We need to fill the class for Fall 2014, so if you have any friends who could benefit from this class please tell them. We meet this fall on Saturday, September 13 and Saturday December 6.

December 6 we will probably be playing in the Big Ten championship game, but we usually finish early enough to get home and watch the game.
