This week we learned that the increased use of digital campaigning, combined with more reliance on social networks for news and information, has raised the expectations of constituents seeking to interact with their governments. In fact, according to Pew Research, citizen interactions are moving beyond the website 31% of online adults use tools such as blogs, social networking sites, email, online video or mobile to find government info government information.
Most importantly we learned how leveraging new forms of content has become central to the evolution of governments’ social presences. For your blog post this week, feel free to write about whatever you want, but use two types of content you’ve never used before. Never posted an audio file? Here’s your chance!

Woot Woot! Bears Win.
For this assignment, I wrote on my Beloved Bears winning over the Lions. I added a video clip embed and created a poll that I hope everyone in class will participate in. I also included a picture and a link to an ESPN blog for a more in-depth look at the game. Check it out at: http://wp.me/p1Pric-2f

Blog: Empire State of Mind
There are few places in the States that still leave me in awe…New York would be one of them. This weekend, I took to a day trip to the Big Apple – the plan…to have a classic NYC experience. Of course my blog wouldn’t be complete without a video clip of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ reverent anthem. Enjoy!

This week I decided to showcase one of my favorite and influential YouTube videos. The video discusses the importance of social media for business. Take a look at the video and I’m sure you’ll be just as excited as I am. Don’t forget to take the poll.
Adios Amigos!

Instead of one encompassing post, I did two shorter separate ones. They are both holiday-shopping themed. One is targeted to best friends and the other is shopping for your boyfriend. I used slideshows and audio files for the first time. Thanks!

“Moving the Chains”
This week, I (briefly) talk/rant about the mess up at Penn State and its reach over the Twitterverse. I included a poll and video clip (I intended on adding an audio clip but had some trouble).
Drake’s “Take Care”
This week I started to play around with the creating of polls on my blog, which was actually great because I got to not only create more interaction with readers but also I can insert media onto the voting polls.
I also added some interesting articles that add on to my critic.
