Social Networking

I've really enjoyed the concepts of social networking. I hope that I can find a place in this world that will allow me to have a career in some aspect of social networking. I enjoy the ease and simplicity of blogging and the convenience of twitter. Both come straight to my phone, aka crackberry, and I really enjoy knowing whats going on in the world that I prefer to dwell. At the company I'm with now there is a big up shift in making the Internet site priority number one. I've been talking to the guy running lead on this and I have a meeting this Friday with him to discuss 'our' social networking hopes. Maybe I can get in that way.

I've also recently started watching @fourzerotwo on youtube and I would love to get into that aspect of social networking as well. He's the face and voice of Infinity Ward...love the games and gamers! But I haven't the slightest idea or 'project' to speak about when it comes to that road. I've also watched some simulcast/videos from my favorite authors. I am in the book business...sort of...and I do have some contacts within the publishing world but to do this I would have to find a job so we could move to the New York area. Not really interested in moving there. On the other hand it would be a step in that direction.

I've also found, thanks to @Brad_P, RebelFM on podcast at itunes. These cats are awesome and if you're into games give them a listen. @Chufmoney @dirtytea and @aegies and @talkingorange are some of the guys to follow on twitter. They run the the podcast and it is RAD. Now that would be something worth getting into. The game business is on a plateau right now but it will rebound. I'd also love to start podcasting for books...thrillers and medieval fantasy...but the writers are all over the place. Once again I don't want to move to the greater New York area. And starting a podcast has got to be expensive and overly time consuming. The time constraints wouldn't be and issue...but the acquisition of equipment and the hows and whys of setting one up are what get to me.

I hope to one day either work for a large gaming company or a publishing house...and above all become a NY Times best seller. I am gaining contacts in both industries at the moment and it's nice. Yet I'd still like to move from the retail side to the development side via social networking. Maybe my quasi meeting Friday will conjure up and entry into this side of the game. Keep your fingers crossed...I know mine will be.

Even though I complain a lot I know in my heart that I've got it great. I am a fortunate and blessed individual. I just have issues with career goals and ideas. I'm becoming more realistic now a days and I hope that I can turn this into a positive transition that will better my already GREAT life.
