There's No Place Like Social Media!

by Jessica Northey
In honor of Halloween, on this Finger Candy Friday, I offer a story:

Once upon a time there was a girl, and her dog. They lived somewhere….under the sun, and lots of it!
She was a friendly, ambitious, creative SocialMediologist….and the fairest maid in all the land (ummm it’s my story.)  She dreamt about one day helping people while working with Entertainers and hoped to make the world a better place…..one tweet at a time ;)


On a serious note, I was watching the “The Wizard of Oz” the other day and thought , “what can I learn from this movie that I can apply to my life and how I use Social Media?”
In the story, Dorothy is knocked unconscious during a tornado. She, her dog and the farmhouse are swept up in the storm and dropped into the magical Land of Oz, where she sets out on the yellow brick road to the Emerald City to ask the Wizard of Oz to return her to Kansas. During her journey, she meets a Scarecrow, a Tin Man and a Lion, who join her, hoping to receive what they lack themselves. They are pursued by the Wicked Witch of the West, who wants her dead sister's magic ruby slippers, now worn by Dorothy.
