Last Blog

After six months, this will be the last week of the course Business Information Technology. Because of this, this will be the last blog post. After ten posts in total, the visits and comments will be analyzed through Google Analytics. I've promoted my posts to reach visitors like you all. Thank you for that and I hope you enjoyed it.

I wrote anything what caught my eye during this second semester in school. All messages are new media related and through different subjects and promotion I tried to find out how to get the most viewers. For example, I choose to write the first blog about a local juwelry store. The store is familiar to my close social connections because we all live in the same small city. The numbre of viewers was quite high, the post even appeared on the social media pages of the jewelry store itself.

Another example I tried, was chosing a breaking news topic like the riots in Egypt. I got some inside Information from the interview with my cousin and I promoted the post by putting the link as a reaction at news messages about Egypt on news sites.

The thing I tried last week was about announcing that a new post is comming and try to involve potential viewers before they even read a word. I posted on my Facebook wall: as input for my new blog I want to know what your favorite App is!

I got about twenty reactions on it in a couple of hours. After that more posts appear and my post got lost in attention.

Anyway, the most reactions showed the major popularity of the WhatsApp. The free message service is the most popular among my friends. Besides WhatsApp, picture service like Instagram are popular too. Through Instagram, you can edit and share pictures online. I want to add one of my favorite Apps as well: the Albert Heijn app. It's an app from a major Dutch supermarket chain. Through this app, you can choose your dish out of 4000 recepies. The app makes a shortlist and by choosing which store you go, it shows you the route to walk to get your ingredients as quick as possible...

Back to the promotion through an anouncement. I am wondering if everyone who react on Facebook post, is gonna read this blog after recognize it after another Facebook post.

Let's find out. I am gonna start to write my final paper now. Thanks for following me the past months and enjoy summer!

Take care.
