Is Social Media LIfe Changing?  YES...100% for Me...

Picture
I love social media....in fact I think I'm secretly addicted. Not because I stay awake late at night....waiting in anticipation for the next Donald Trump tweet...but because I'm met some incredible people.

In addition, I've used social platforms as a way of learning and practicing my data science craft, experimenting with audio and video content and more recently...I've been using it as a vehicle for experimenting with comedy.

That's 4 great reasons...or maybe 5. I was never any good at mental arithmetic. Let me explore two of those themes....Incredible People, Video and Comedy.

So I went on holidays this year and decided to venture off to the outlandish Las Vegas strip....and to see the incredible and eclectic sites of New York. Now....having used twitter for around 2 years...I made some friends online. Real friends.

​One of them...Avro (@avrohomg)....I'd already met in Brisbane. You see on the back of our conversations he came out to Brissie...and we had an awesome time. Check out our favourite pic at the world famous Australia Zoo....

Now....one of the first people I met online was Dez (@dez_blanchfield).  He was very encouraging....not just of me...but many other people....and we've mates for a few years now.  One of the ways he encouraged myself and others, to improve our visibility on social media, was to post original video content.  And so the #DezVideoChallenge was born.  

The idea behind the challenge is to encourage everyone to create original video content of themselves and more importantly have fun.  By doing this...you create what we call in Agile...a forcing function...in this case a fun...gamified...video challenge.  Not only helps the participants feel good about themselves...but also allows each other to learn by filming and also learn from others.  In the end we all realise that none of use are natural actors...so it's a good way of sharing great content....creating a buzz in the twitter world and most importantly we can all have some serious fun.

Here is the latest #DezVideoChallenge I did with Dez himself.  This was only done last week...so it's fresh off the farm....so to speak....
So back to my trip to Vegas and New York...and yet again more #DezVideoChallenge moments....click on the photo or the link below...which leads to you the video on twitter:
