James Erwin:  "The site has emerged as an important creative platform, but getting—and keeping—an audience there is a tricky thing."

Jon Russell:  "Social media marketing will soon include chat apps, as this example from Sir Paul McCartney and the use of Line show."

Today's environment reminds me a lot of when I was first in the business. You have to adapt, you have to research, you have to be open to challenges. If you are, your career will flourish. But if you fear - watch to world go by.

Josh Rottenberg & Amy Kaufman:  "Since the advent of social networking services such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram — few of which existed when today's young movie audience was born — the duality of social media has bedeviled academics, artists and everyday people alike, as long-held social norms established in an analog world have rapidly given way to a new age of selfies, likes and status updates."

Jonathan Salem Baskin:  "Definitions and labels get confused when we describe technologies that enable social experience, and it’s particularly evident in the way we’re talking about Microsoft’s $2.5 billion purchase of Minecraft."

A friends kid called the end to Minecraft as he knows and loves it. Even a 9 year old notes that this was a social media grab, not a gaming or graphics anything.

Stephanie Rosenbloom:  "The web encourages bad behavior, and it’s part of our nature to focus on the negative. But there are smart ways to respond."

I have too many opinions on this subject but I don't wish ti bore anyone. Nor do I wish to detract from the article. It is a New York Times opinion piece and you may have to register to read the entire article but I think you will find it worthwhile.

If you have children just starting on-line (for me grandchildren) there is usefull advice about dealing with cyber bullying. 

But the piece is primarily targetted at an adult audience. Discussion on-line is a usefull way to expand your horizons but it comes with dangers that you don't experience in face to face exchanges.

I sm pretty thick skinned an sufficiently arrogant that I mostly ignore negative comments. But this piece offered some advice that will cause me to mend my ways a bit.

Kyli Singh:  "With the explosion of startups, there are plenty of new social networks popping up. Here are 10 up-and-coming social networks worth exploring."

As most of you know already, I am an autodidact, a person who is learning on its own. I can choose WHAT to learn, WHEN to learn, in WHICH order I learn the different topics and HOW quick I will learn! AND especially WHERE I will learn; not necessary in a school, BUT online and from books!

That is what makes me learning very quick and to understand it also! As I am getting asked very often (people are astonished about…), so I decided to write this blog post to give some TIPS...

James Martin:  "Can a cross-media storytelling platform help a TV show? Sander/Moses Productions' co-founder Kim Moses says yes!"

Mathew Ingram:  "A description from 19-year-old Andrew Watts provides a fascinating glimpse into how some teenaged users approach different social-media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat."

Michelle Dean:  "Based on a real-life murder, Serial has captivated listeners around the world. But when the show’s fans started doing their own investigations on Reddit, it took the phenomenon into uncharted waters"

Liraz Margalit:  "[Tinder's] runaway success cannot be attributed solely to singles looking for quick hook-ups. The counter-intuitive truth is that Tinder actually provides users with all the information they need to make an informed first impression about a potential long-term mate.  And it does so by matching our human evolutionary mechanism."

Stephanie Walden:  "A look at how authors are using social media and visuals to connect with fans, build online communities and rethink the creative process."

Today's children's and young adult writers must embrace these changes in order to survive!

Storytelling digital y visual ;-)
