With the advent of the digital era, more and more people now want to maximize the power of technology, the Internet and related resources in order to promote their clients, their businesses, their skills or even themselves! Not a surprise, actually, considering that a lot of people have experienced fame and even fortune just because they posted a blog entry somewhere, posted a really nice photo or come up with a video that has all the makings of a viral hit.
Just take the case of this video by Peter Rixham, a self-confessed medieval history specialist who also happens to love cooking and food. In the video, which can be accessed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHZLbLdxuTw, Peter shared his love and passion for medieval history. He talked about exactly why he loved it and what fascinated him about it. He even went around asking people about certain medieval characters and other interesting trivia. As a result, people saw how much of an expert he was and how much he just loved the topic. That helped concretize Peter’s expertise, not to mention fervent passion, over medieval history. He has, in many aspects, turned into a video star!
Peter’s video is a clear indication that not only is it easy and advisable to share your talents, skills and knowledge about a certain issue through the power of the Internet, it is also a great and fun way to interact with others and be a video star in your own right. Everyone can be a video star – all it takes is a cam, an Internet connection, your knowledge and a smile!
(Social Media, Hong Kong) 上一次介紹過跟facebook功能相近的社交網站-Orkut 後，我便經常搜尋，看看有沒其他好用或有趣的社交網站。原來世界各地有著比我想像還要多的社交網站！有些有趣，有些無聊，也有特別主題的。我選了2個跟大家分享~
第一個 Line for Heaven.com (直釋:線天堂): 是個有趣的社區，這網站是「歡迎任何想要上天堂的人」加入。哈~放心!不是教唆別人輕生的網頁，只是有點宗教味道而已。Line for Heaven目標是「提供一個有趣、輕鬆、非敵對的環境，以促進宗教共融」。感覺在這裡比其他社區和平一點。
有趣設定:Line for Heaven用戶每參與活動及互動時會得到一些分數，叫「業力」。每星期「業力」最多的用戶便會得到「天使」稱號。
不論有沒有宗教背景都可以試一試!
第二個 Respectance.com：這個網站我很喜歡，而且很特別。Respectance.com是個專門讓人們紀念已過身親人的社交網站，用戶可以向已故親人表示悼念或哀悼。我覺得這概念很好，有一個平台讓我們懷念故人，表示敬意，分享甚至宣洩情感！不錯！
網站有一句感動了我的標語﹕
Everyone has MEMORIES to share
Keep them alive FOREVER
有趣設定:用戶可以設立「故親紀念館」，上傳照片和書面供品，寫文章。也可以讓其他人留言慰語。要分享失去家人的傷痛感，或是表達思念也可以。
As the world flies by at an ever increasing pace is our diminishing attention span an indication we are getting dumber. I don’t think so. It is a sign of great ability.
