Scott Monty – the social media brain behind Ford Motor Company as of recent – just tweeted. He linked to an article about the new Ford Taurus account on Twitter, and how all the posts are currently automated until they find adequate staffing resources.
Should interns get the keys to the social media machine? Weigh in here: http://scottwesterman.com/?p=1288
The public reply by Scott Westerman makes perfect sense, and I have to agree with the points he makes. To make things more simple, I figured I’d outline my take on my own blog, versus a comment on Scott’s.
I’ve had …
Yes, that’s what the email from Yolanda, the college recruiter at AOL, said sometime this past week. The smattering of interns working with AOL this summer are all halfway through their jobs and thus, their summers – myself included.
I’ve neglected to keep my own website up-to-date this summer. Work really plays a part – when I get home, I don’t want to sit down in front of my computer after spending eight hours at a computer. Either way, I have a free weekend, so I’m posting this and doing some work tomorrow, too.
I want to upgrade to WordPress 3.0, and …
As I write this, my reel-to-reel conversions have finished and I am wrapping up my last two-hour session of lab help at 6. I get my first half of the two SMAD paychecks tomorrow, which will be a welcome addition to my bank account.

I’m currently down in Harrisonburg, where I’ve been working two jobs for SMAD throughout Maymester. Maymester – for those not versed in all-things JMU – is a four-week class session where students may take one or two classes. The workload is much more intense, but it’s a great way to stay in town a bit longer, and earn class credit …
Following my email sent on Wednesday regarding Springfest, I was very impressed to see Dr. Wright reply back by 9:20 that evening. I’m pleased with his response – generally – and will likely reply later today as a follow-up.
Dear Mr. Thiewes:
First, let me say that your letter is elegant and compelling. I hope you are receiving an A in the class.
