What's Going on Here

I am a decent writer, I tend to get A's on my papers and I can get my point accross in corporate emails on 4 continents. But, ITM 198, the Golden Gate University Class I am taking, is about trying new things. The class in and of itself is a departure from the "Hard Skills" classes I have taken to date, and education is supposed to broaden your horizons right? So, which horizons do I want broadened? Well, one of my goals for this class is to change the way I write papers.

Whats in it for me
In addition to studying how social media helps businesses, I thought I would look into how social media helps me write. Though I believe I am a strong writer overall, I think that one of my weaker points is taking notes and keeping sources straight. I tend to scribble indecipherable notes, as I read, on scrap pieces of paper, which I then lose. So when it is time to write, I end up surfing the net or crawling through a book, trying to find my sources from memory. This is a huge time-waster, and I think a blog will help. So...here is my list of resolutions for keeping this blog as the central repository of knowledge for my paper:

• Post parts of the paper as posts when inspiration strikes
  
• Submit my comments, notes, juxtapositional observations on articles I read as posts
• Include links to read later as posts
• Use this blog to summarize my attempts at using other social media (reddit, 4chan, answers?) to help me write my paper
• What else (please comment)?
