We, bees, can buzz about anything. 
I have read several blogs on the “buzz” – some relating it to food and other things, and some giving insights on how to keep us, bees, buzzing. I have to admit that Rosen’s Anatomy of the Buzz Revisited had already inspired “us” during the PRSP Grand Prix competition. If you have at least read the first parts of the book, you will notice something familiar that we employed in our tactics – but that is for you to find out.
I won’t be talking about that thing that we did, but I will instead talk about the makings of Read the rest of this entry »
Pages to Fingers
Posted: October 10, 2011 Filed under: Organizational Communication, Social Media | Tags: e-yellow pages, eyp.ph, OrCom 152, Organizational Communication, pages to fingers, Social Media, UP Manila, yellow fingers 6 Comments »I keep on saying in my previous posts how social media has turned the world upside down – in a consumer and organizational perspective that is. But what is the main reason why social media became a huge hit to the extent of making a country rally over the shutting-down of the internet? I won’t be talking about anything political or radical in this post, but instead, I will talk about how social media, aside from turning the pyramid upside-down, turned pages to fingers.
THE Yellow Fingers!

The "Crowd"
I am publishing a post on this (again) because my previous blog met an accident. HAHA So let us talk about…making out – social media style.
I am sure that most organizations are already aware that with the increasing influence of social media in the society, it easier to get the thoughts of your audience even if you do not ask for them. Some people may provide gibberish thoughts on your products, some may provide suggestions and some…well, may just give you sweet-nothings. The use of social media definitely has Read the rest of this entry »
The Real “Deal”
Posted: October 4, 2011 Filed under: Organizational Communication, Social Media | Tags: cash cash pinoy, coupons, deals, ensogo, group deals, groupon, Investment, OrCom 152, Organizational Communication, Social Media, UP Manila 5 Comments »
Recently, I got addicted to this new thing on the internet. No, it is not online shopping nor is it peer to peer sharing (which is “so last year” HAHA) but it is scanning through “deals” sites, looking for “deals” and things that would make life…cheaper. 
What’s the deal with Deals?
There are various sites that offer “deals” from different businesses. These deals are like groupons (group coupons) which means the more friends you get to buy the deal with you, then the cheaper you can Read the rest of this entry »

Love-Hate the New Look: The Ever-changing Facebook Interface
Posted: September 21, 2011 Filed under: Organizational Communication, Social Media | Tags: facebook, new interface, OrCom 152, Organizational Communication, UP Manila 4 Comments »When I checked my facebook account this morning, there was nothing unusual really – just the interface I have grown with for the past… 3, 4, 6 months? I do not really know how long it has been since facebook changed its look but surely, it has changed for five or more times already over the years, and today has been another one of those days.
Where's the box?! The status box?! *panics*
So this is what the new facebook homepage looks like – a three column almost cluttered page. And yes, at one point I was dumb enough to be looking for the status box because I thought Read the rest of this entry »
Dig Deep: Social Media in PR campaigns
Posted: September 7, 2011 Filed under: Organizational Communication, Personal, Social Media | Tags: OrCom 152, Organizational Communication, PR campaign, PRSP Grand Prix, UP Manila Leave a comment »
September 4 was the most amazing weekend in my college life. Our team was given the chance to present our PR campaign in the PRSP Grand Prix Finals. After weeks of sleepless nights, the presentation turned out really satisfying.
Let me get straight to how this weekend ended – we did not place. Yes, no medals and awards whatsoever,but to me, it was one of the most fulfilling things I have ever done. But I am reserving all my lamentations for my personal blog and the whole point of this post is for me to give some thoughts Read the rest of this entry »
