New direction …

I have definitely neglected The Neo Com blog. However, I have taken an absolute new direction in my career over the past six months. I must say it is extremely refreshing too. Truth be told, I don’t really care that much about social media technologies. I continue to follow them and learn as much as I can, but I was headed to the point of holing up in my apartment and trying to write code. Yikes stripes!

I recently got a new job. It doesn’t really concern anyone because people haven’t started subscribing to this blog yet. But it has me thinking about the concept.

I chose “The Neo Com” because I had been thinking about the way communication is being revolutionized as a result of these social media technologies. It’s a wild new platform for exchanging information, and in a sense … tracking communication patterns. In the past people might have done this for science, now industry is doing it for profit.

I see an era where billboards don’t exist, yet you will walk by a restaurant and get a text message saying, “Happy Hour at Joe’s Cafe … hamburger and fries $20.” (editors note, I only say $20 because I predict it will be a couple years before that happens).

At any rate … this is a new communication medium … it affects everyone from farmers to dentists … and I would like to continue to understand it better.

And if not, perhaps at least write some funny posts and/or stories along the way …
