Social Networking
Friday, July 23rd, 2010Yesterday I was mentally exhausted from work. I went home and decided to download some videos that I had recorded from this past weekend. Being a fairly new Mac convert, I have not had the opportunity to play with a lot of the features. Once I downloaded all of the video clips, I went ahead and launched iMovie. Now, I have seen my coworkers use this software application but I had never tried it due to my huge impatience for learning technology. Random to hear I know, especially for the fact that I work for a technology company and am completely consumed by the tech industry.
Anyways, it takes me about 30 minutes to put together a little compilation of my nephews birthday party and you know what?? I really enjoyed doing it! Also, I found that if I practiced a little more, that I may actually get pretty good at this editing thing. So this little video put me on a Social networking rampage. I posted it on YouTube, then tagged it on my Twitter and Facebook pages, and now I’m blogging about it. It made me realize, how people like the “YouTube Princess” (blog I posted earlier) get such crazy exposure soooo fast! So it got me thinking. Could I do the same??? Looks like the beginning of a n experiment for me =)
I changed my Twitter page background as well as my YouTube page to make it more appealing. Now if I can get the right content, I think I will be on my way. I am thinking about participating in the “One day in a Life” project that YouTube is launching tomorrow. I think it is a great place to start and then see where it goes. Stay tuned…
For anyone who doesn’t know about that project, it launches in 8 hours and is only for 1 day. Check out the link for more info

For now, I will just keep my little Family Made movie posted.
