Week 1A: My First Social Media Class Post

-
Hi I'm Mark Buxton and this is my first blog post here.  Nothing fancy just a place to type my thoughts and assignments.  I chose this template because it is simple and clean, and I like the left hand box that contains the title.  I plan to add some imagery, but I think keeping it simple provides less distraction for the reader. 
I am taking this class to further my knowledge of the uses of social media to promote and market my business that I would like start in the near future.  All my work in my business is clean, simple and similar to the theme I chose here.

Week 2A: Social Media for Business or Personal Use

-
Many social media platforms today can be used for both personal and business use.  As a casual user of some social media outlets such as Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube, I am somewhat conditioned to think of these tools only for personal use.  But lately I have been noticing how businesses use these platforms as well.  Naturally I think of Facebook, Pinterest,YouTube and even unfamiliar sites such as Instagram, Twitter and Google + as places where friends and family hang out to share pictures and political junk.  While I learn more about the business uses, some of these seem a bit more geared towards personal use.  However, I see them as critical tools for both personal and business alike.   The social media platforms I think are more for personal use, or at least they originally were designed for that purpose are Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram.  From its roots, Facebook to me always seemed like a place to share personal things with others. ...
