Welcome!
August 24, 2009Welcome to my blog!
This blog is an ongoing discussion of how social media is used in the automotive industry. How do car companies stay current in today’s constantly adapting technology? How has Web 2.0 affected the way that companies communicate, and relate with their prospective customers? What social media tactics are effective? Which tactics are not? These questions simply scratch the surface of this new and evolving means of corporate communication.
Throughout this blog, I will research and discuss the uses of social media tactics and how they benefit (or hurt) the respective automobile company. I will also examine how some organizations succeed by keeping up to date with social media, and how some companies are hurting themselves by not staying current. In contrast to my focus on the automotive industry, check out the blogroll in the sidebar to read similar blogs about social media in other areas.

Thanks for coming by!

Jared–I really like your top banner picture of the blue car. But your blog design is a little hard to navigate. On this post, the pictures and videos are overlapped and I am having a hard time reading your words and seeing your videos. Also the flowers on the right sidebar of your blog detract from your automobile theme.
Hey Anne- Thanks for the comment! I fixed the video and pictures, not sure what that was all about. Not sure what was up with the flowers, they should be gone now, too!
It looks great–much easier to use, Thanks!
