------------------------

With a collection of many unfinished adolescent diary's, (even just the ones for dates) I thought why the hell not create a little blog for the documentation of my internship at, theblogpaper.co.uk.

After all it is rather fitting.


DAY ONE: (I can't help but imitate the Geordie Big Brother man)
for a better word, induction day, what i'll be dirtying my nose with over the next 4 weeks or so...

- Viral Marketing, P.R. liaisons and even a tiny bit of event management, a tiny bit.

Daily:

Online management of Facebook, Twitter and theblogpaper websites, this involves:

- Reading, rating and stimulating debate among readers on the most recently submitted articles/blogs at theblogpaper website.

- Posting my personal top 3 new articles on Facebook (and Twitter).

- Online communication/ interaction with the Facebook, Twitter followers.

- Completing a second filtering of the ‘twiped’ followers on Twitter; Emailing invites to join theblogpaper community, sending information via a media pack to relevant individuals and general correspondence.

- Looking for new and interesting blogs, sites that would be suitable for our target audience.
