Scratching the Social Media Surface

This week we spend ALES 204 learning how to make professional Facebook pages. Here's mine: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Philip-Auer/213756042021838?sk=info. I was initially a bit reluctant to begin since I don't need one right this instance, but once I finally began I figured I should use the opportunity to practice advertising my potential business. This approach gave me the motivation to make genuine use of the available space at hand for my page.

The only thing I didn't have at hand was a professional picture of myself or a camera, which is why I have temporarily enclosed a handsome car as my profile picture for now. With my Facebook page nearly complete, I look forward to exploring further depths of social media with my ALES 204 class. Till next time!

Hello! Welcome to my first ever blog.

I'm Philip Auer, a second year agriculture student at the U of A. My major is "sustainable agricultural systems" and I am very excited on the idea of designing sustainable agricultural systems in which the human plays an integral role (permaculture!). Communication is necessary in such a field in order to link with fellow colleagues, spread information, and get connected on various events: power in numbers!
