Web Media Diary

Hello all,

We have been asked to record our Web media use in one day. I am not surprised to learn that the majority of my day is consumed by media, see below:

6am - Up or a run, use Ipod for music<br>
6:30am - TV for new and to entertain kids while I make them brekky
7:00am - Out of the house, in the car, switch on radio breakfast radio. On mobile phone making some calls
8:00am - On the train, listen to iLectures on the train on the way to work
8:45am - Reading news online visit websites like;   www.ninemsn.com
                                                                             www.mashable.com
9:00am Log into Google chat - chatting with clients and friends etc
9:30am Checking email via outlook, sending emails
10am - Log into Google Adwords, start working on clients and campaigns
12pm - Phone, discussions with clients
12:30am Back to Adwords more campaign optimisation
1pm Lunch, visit Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin. Also do general errands looking for all these things online.
Passports office, Post Office, Internet banking pay bills
2pm Review Google Analytics - reviewing client performance
3pm Writing task, focus on some tasks for clients, upload and distribute via online media distribution tool
4pm Use Paypal for payments
4:30pm 5:20pm Answering emails, running reports
5:40pm On the train read MX - Newspaper
5:45pm Listen to remaining part of iLecture
6-8pm Other tasks household chores
8pm Log on to internet, TV is in the background, Facebook, Facebook chat, Stumble Upon.
Log onto Oasis study tool
10pm Bed

Majority of the time is utilised online,considering the industry I work in 'online advertising' my day is greatly taken up by editing and watching performance with online tools. This took up approximately 7 hours of my day. Some of this time included leisure via social media or general searching things of interest with Stumble Upon.

It is interesting to see though how much of my day is consumed by online media

Web Communications

Web communications...

What a start to another semester in the Bac. of Internet Communications

This semester sounds like it will be lots of learning and fun...first off I was impressed at the number of people studying this unit alone, somewhat 250 people (from the lecturers introduction) It's great to see that a Bachelor of such is getting more attention.

Our first task involved using a nifty tool to check a username in various online services

Next up some contemplation on the services I use for communication throughout my week.
Will report soon how I am progressing.
