Geo-technology. It’s something I really didn’t understand before Sara Meaney and something I am still a little cloudy on. Sara came in and had a great knowledge on what geo-location and GPS provides to people.
Definition of Geo-location
What I like most about her message was that geo-location is both good and bad. You leave yourself up to get robbed and get stalked if you people know your location at all times. Other than not having a phone with a data connection, that has been my biggest drawback when using geo-location.
My other drawback is not really understanding what geo-location does and what it provides to people. Sara gave us a good explanation of what it is, but I was disappointed that I didn’t find an answer to this question: why should we involve oursel ves in geo-location? She was trying to explain these awards and points that are used by geo-location and I still don’t really understand. That was the biggest drawback to her discussion.

If I could work for Comet, I would just because of a person like Sara. I can see that she would hire and work with people who are like herself, and that would be the biggest draw to working for her.
Sara is awesome
Otherwise, I really don’t have much of an interest in an advertising and branding company. I am very interested in social media and new media, but I’m a journalism major. I belong in a newspaper. Unless there was a position that filled my desires at Comet Branding, then I would take it in a heartbeat.

I did not know about geolocation much until Sara Meaney talked about it either. Rewards set up like a game is what people love. I understand why geolocation would be fun and I kind of want to try it. It is some interesting stuff. She does sound like a nice and fun person; working with her would not be dull at all.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree that geo-loaction can be bad. There are to many people out there that can take advantage of this and possibly steal or stalk you. I also think working for a company like that would be amazing. It seems like there are a lot of interesting people working there.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed her presentation, mainly because I knew nothing of geo-location before. Plus she made it real interesting and exciting and you could tell her strong passion for social media technology when she spoke to us.
ReplyDeletePeople use geolocation applications such as foursquare to fill their desire for competition and to brag to their friends about what they are doing. Originally, foursquare was created by a group of friends who wanted to compete about who had the most exciting life. As a result, the rest of us who do not care about the mayorship or badges still receive the benefits with the check-in deals.
