Blogs & new social media

Do you know what "twitter" and "widgets" and "social media" are? Neither did I before I attended a Blogworld Expo In Las Vegas. I went hoping to learn new things about the web that could help me promote Parkinson's awareness - and I did!

I had heard of “FaceBook” and “MySpace” before this trip, but I never really understood what they were or how they worked. Now I know that they are examples of on-line social communities called “new media” or "social media." Some people spend as many as 8 - l0 hours a day communicating with friends in their community.

I  decided PDPlan4life should be a part of the social media phenomenon since "e-information" is becoming increasingly important in everyday life. So when I got home, I created a blog on FaceBook. I also created a PDPlan4life "group," which you are most welcome join. And if you actually find me there, who knows, I may even twitter you.
