Blogging Choice Assignment - 3/29/12

I created a LinkedIn account today, which was a significant media contact. It took me about thirty minutes to completely finish my profile. The object of LinkedIn is to connect people with prospective employers or someone that can help get you a job. I filled out my educational background, interests, awards, skills, and uploaded a resume. It is interesting to note how much networking can be accomplished through social media. LinkedIn is a more professional site that will give me the chance to market myself to future employers. I also booked a summer vacation online today through Expedia. I have booked many previous trips this way, and have never visited a travel agent. Booking the trip online allowed me to secure lodging and air fair at the same place without hassle. Through my contact with these media forms today, I have observed that digital media has made many processes almost effortless.
