I Blog, Therefore I Am.

I posted (and promoted) Vine exactly a week ago. Now, here comes Instagram with their own video feature. I am actually not into the idea of Instagram having videos. I am kinda OC when it comes to 'social media platforms' and I want it all in separate baskets. Let Instagram focus on videos and let the others (like Vine, Snapchat, etc.) focus on something else.

I haven't used both service long enough to do a review but I observed that Instagram videos load faster but Vine uploads faster. Instagram is for the viewer while Vine is for the user. I also noticed that Instagram allows longer videos with its 15-seconds feature as opposed to Vine's 6. 

Here's my first Instagram video from our Digital Media Lunch & Learn yesterday. Posing for me are Gino, Iirs, Kim, Yeg, Tob, Czar, Anna, Amor, Chette, Karla, Ina and Lemuel. Fun!

I wouldn't do YouTube if not for work.

I was pressured A LOT to go Vine (haha). Procrastinated A LOT.
But now (honestly) very happy to be on it!

This will be another favorite like Instagram. This will be another big thing like Instagram.

Here's one of my first Vines - taken one Friday afternoon with my wacky work kids.

Our Smart Social Media Program received its 3rd Anvil Award* since its inception in 2009. I am mighty proud of the award since I've been with the project and the team since it's early days. The award we got this year is for its Phase 3 or the introduction of the Smart Specialists Program. We began the program last August 2012 by creating Twitter accounts with "Smart personalities" in support of our main social media channel. Getting the 3rd award is especially nice since it's the first social media award we got under the Digital Media Team and it further validates that we are on the right track. 

Congratulations to my work kids, @Smart_Kimberly and @Smart_Tob for a job well done!
