I recently posted this website to a couple of clients looking for press releases and other intriguing content writing positions on "Up Work," a site for hiring freelancers capable of designing, writing, and consulting for the various types of businesses there are in the world, and up into the world of press, publishing, and internet land. I find it endlessly intriguing that there are so many facets to fit your own world of publications into with a practice.
My social media fascination started with having created a neopets account when I was 8 (or maybe I was younger), and I was the business with owning my own virtual e-commerce trade with merchandise such as the Shoyru Plushies and other assorted virtual goods...
The rest of my internet ventures were merely a result of my online searches I conducted in order to complete reports I had to write for school, and our research practices we were being taught in class: to do from the library or in the computer lab in middle school.
It wasn't until I was in late middle school (the early 2000s) and then early High School that Myspace had just become all the very new rage. By the end of High School, it was the second half of the first decade in 2000 when we all made the switch: facebook was the new champion of social media...
There was also talk of twitter, and later Instagram, pinterest, and other assortments of social media outlets which became almost a clutter of our internet ventures, in which case, I decided to focus my attention to just the one. The most convenient and popular social media place which cared to accommodate any interest I needed. While of course I was much too busy studying and consulting with people in real life, (and I was in college), to be playing games all over the place, or with too many people in too many different places, I was delighted to have it all going on in one "place" or on the same site: (on the sidelines of studying of course). I was completing all my assignments (while logged into facebook).
Now that I am a graduate, I can tell you that what really catches my attention today is: the numbers of people engaging in conversation via, or at least being exposed to content on so many of these web sites, using different platforms and the whole background of web development, cyber businesses, resources, and multitudes of information.
Having a Twitter account, Instagram, and Pinterest resulting from coursework we were dealing with in class was only the start. What intrigued me was their function: in our world of digital media today, these sites are the means to drive us toward meeting our goals in terms of education, communication, and entertainment. As an English Education major, I was instructed to be aware of the internet culture and the influence as well.
So with all these expressions, what does the internet influence?
That's what I'm here for: to decipher what we can infer from text and to draw up inferences for others to make (in order for them to interpret our expressions correctly). This is my job. I work as a freelancer for Up Work, and right now, I just finished working on several advanced projects for a new booming e-commerce company called Wraith & Co, a business website for a restaurant, and I'm going to be putting together the exchange student program website for an organization coming up next as their web designer, press releaser, editor, and publisher.
What I aim to do is provide more than just the framework for what it means to be a consultant in the field of digital media and web-release for publications. I provide benefits with my abilities in writing and skills in entertainment on top of all, and with of whole lot of knowledge from years of research compiling the right sorts of information in order to explain just about any topic accordingly to it's context.
So how, now, do I feel about the internet, all it's websites, social media outlets, and all these platforms...? Look out web world, here comes your next textual analysis professional-- and stay tuned for more of "Decipher News."
