I think the most pivotal point for me is the fact that I'm attempting a small business with my comic book production. Granted what we aim to do is get published and let them do the hard work, but just know we still must use marketing, PR, a website and everything to promote us.
I knew of RSS feeds, and one on our site just now is pointless, news updates aren't that often, and convincing people to subscribe to unknown creators is a hard task. I never thought much of RSS until the class and the advice that it could be used for the dissertation. Such a fantastic idea! I'm weirdly a person who likes to see updates actually on the site, even videos posted on Facebook I have to open the link to youtube and not simply watch the embedded video on the feed. Weird.
I think I know a lot about computers and software and using it for business purposes. I didn't realise service software was a thing and it's such a good idea. Software packages can be so expensive (looking at you Adobe) and the idea of online renting is really appealing.
I had actually used it before without realising, my cousin and I edited a script using google docs. It was good seeing it done in real time, which was much better than the annoyance of Wiki's. Waiting for updates, saving, not seeing actual dual editing being done live.
The idea of mashups was rather cool, but seemed to toot its own horn a bit. okay the employee can do this and that and help out IT, but really they're just taking widgets and packing them together on the one page. Didn't seem that amazingly revolutionary to me.
Maybe IT should stop being so lazy. Take that!
