Seafair Pow Wow and Social Media

So it’s Friday night and my cousin Cindy is coming in from Bellingham  and I looking for some fun stuff to do.  I go and check the event  calendars on a couple of my profile websites from the Master Your  Internet Presence and find out first of all that the bite of Seattle is this  weekend but also that there is the 24^th Annual Seafair Indian Days Pow  Wow at Discovery Park.

I have no idea where Discovery Park is but the one thing I do know is      I’m not driving to Seattle with I-90 closed and The Bite of Seattle going  on so I go to the Metro Bus Trip Planner and enter my address and the  park and it lays out trip on Metro from my house to the park for $2.00.

We jump on the bus 20 minutes later and are off to the park.  The bus  rocks by the way, cheap, easy, underground in parts of Seattle and  within a minute or two right on time.

The Event is free but they would like a $5 donation and it was well  worth it.  The only thing that bothered me was in the event program it  says no pictures, not to mention video without asking the dancer or  Indian first.  I was hoping to video tape so I went to the customer  service tent.  “Hi. I’m Denny and I have an Internet Presence and am  interested in shooting some video to promote your event but  according to your program there is no way that can happen, what  should I do?”  The woman in the tent said, “So you are with the media ? ”  I said, “yeah the social media” and she said I’ll be right back.  She  brought over the head of one of the tribes so I explained what I wanted  and he took me to the chief of all the tribes so I could explain to him.    He was a very nice old guy and after talking a little bit told me had the  run of the place and could shoot whatever I wanted and if anyone said  anything to tell them to go talk to him.  Cool Huh ?

After that I feel like I owe him one so here is the video from the event  and it goes all weekend so if the Bite is just a little too much for you this  is a perfect alternative.  Be sure to say hi to the chief for me !

Master Your Internet Presence Chapter 1

Chapter 1   Introduction

Master Your Internet Biography, Before Someone Else Does !

First of all this is not one of those documents you buy, read and when you are finished you understand the topic a little better, however long term it didn’t do much more than give you a buzz word or two.

This is a workbook that will dramatically change the way you look at, think about and how you use technology and the internet.  It will help you communicate with your family, friends, and every other contact you have like never before.

All of these technologies are web based or you may have heard web based referred to as “computing in the cloud”.   Computing in the cloud means all software and data is stored or hosted on a server somewhere on the internet and are not dependent on a local machine’s platform or software to be able to run, Personal Computer, Apple, Windows, Linux, Laptop, Desktop, Main Frame or Business Network. They can be accessed anywhere you can get an internet connection, even an I-Phone or cell phone.  Nothing needs to be downloaded to your computer, and once again there is no specific operating system or web browser required.  Web based or cloud computing means these types of technologies are accessible across all platforms.

Did you know you already have an internet presence?  As all software, information and data slowly makes its way from paper, storage devices, and hard drives on to the web and into the cloud, it’s not a question of whether you are going to have an internet presence or not, you have one and it’s growing every day.  The only question is whether you are in control of it or other people, companies and strangers are adding to it and manipulating it.

These are just some of the websites you will have profiles set up on and be in control of in about 6 hours.  This includes a webpage to market yourself and a control panel with which to manage and monitor everything.

Going through the following workbook will not only allow you to create and control your internet presence but master it, without having to spend one dime or even type in a social security or credit card number.

This is no longer an option, but a necessity and it is not a onetime event.  You have to commit to a specific amount of time every week and if possible every day that you will spend monitoring and crafting your presence online.  It is so important there is an entire section devoted to it in Chapter 16 The Bringing it All Together chapter.
