First Blog!

Hello everyone! This is my first ever blog, so I hope it works out! I started this blog on accident, and now that I actually need a blog for one of my classes, it seemed like a good time to start blogging! As most of you know, I am a third year Business Management major here at Rochester Institute of Technology, and let me tell you, it's been a whirlwind so far. Time flies when you're learning, and it's hard to believe that I will be graduating soon!


I decided to call it, "Nothing is as important as a blog whose time has come."  I thought it had a nice ring to it.  Also, it is the mere fact that social media is booming right now, and job recruiters look to social media to determine of a person's presence online is deemed acceptable for their company.  We are on the brink of a mass collaboration here in Internet world, and it is fascinating to see and be a part of where this will head.  Already, companies are outreaching via the Internet to reach scientist that will collaborate all over the web to determine a solution for a company.  Tide-to-Go is an example of the results of this mass collaboration.  The rise in social media and the Internet is causing businesses to restructure the organizations from within, and marketers are developing plans to market online effectively.  


It will be really interesting to see where we go in the next 20 years as a society with the Internet-- I hope that people remember to breathe in a bit of fresh air every once in awhile, and that nothing replaces some good ol' customer service.
