Web Presence, on You Tube, Muncie Free Press, on the World Wide Web, and even Ball State University!
Hello once again, and welcome to another of my blogs on Making and Keeping, our Web Presence front and center, on the Local Multimedia and World Wide Web. In hard economic times, and with a Federal, State, and City/townships trying their level or darned best to drag us all into the 21st Century, we must be very mindful, of how we create and maintain our Web Presence. Technology Is suppose to be our Friend. That at least is what I am told. And after looking at the Video Kpaul shot of our New Mayor and promoting the Muncie Free Press and Citizen News Publishing and all I find myself saying AMEN to that brother.
I am after all, a big time fan of our being found; found that is by those looking for us, as in the sense of family, friends. You know the ones of whom I speak, the people who are looking for what we are doing, in some sort of hobby, business, using or talents and abilities, and such in our communities, that just about anyone would want to find us for. It is also a great way to promote your yard/garage sale, etc. Or how about your home / house fellowship, or bible study?
With that in mind, I have come to think it is getting more and more important, to "Connect" through the many "Free" Multimedia that has developed for all our use. Yes, there is opportunity to Advertise for Placement, or blinker things, etc. and have folks find your offering on each and every page, but there is room for the little guy too.
In my own case, I am thrilled, that we have the Star Press Forums, The Muncie Free Press, and Forums, and this page, and things like web hosts; my is own is http://armysurplusbyjacobsen.bravehost.com for our Outreach Ministry and http://more-bocjm.injesus.com for the Ministry itself.
Both are sites that connect me and what I do, with the rest of the world, 24/7 and 365. even while I sleep or vacation.
Then there is our Email, that allows a lot of document, video, and photo sharing between addresses, mine is ansom47305@yahoo.com which also ties us, into our Yahoo 360 site, mine is: http://360.yahoo.com/ansom47305 and all this provides us a way to communicate more effectively on a much larger scale, and used by folks all over the world.
Then if a picture is worth a thousand words? What is a Video worth? As Paul has demonstrated well very often, I find myself truely blessed, fortunate, and thankful to have been the subject of three Journalistic Projects from Ball State University Students for their video projects; two of them even put them on YouTube, posted here for your viewing if you care to:

So, with being found in Search Engines such as Google:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Army+Surplus%2C+Muncie+Indiana&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f
And City Search Sites such as:
Or.
Many of which interact and share reviews and maps and even offer feedback. This is to needful to pass up when you consider the way folks are connecting these days over the internet.
Either way, Individual or Business; I hope you will consider making yourself and your venture in our communities more easily found, then simply depending on print only media. Print is nice and has it's place too, but Multimedia is where the future is.
Anyone who knows me well, knows I am a big time fan of our being found, by those looking for us; as in the sense of family, friends, doing some sort of thing in our communities that people would want to find us for. With the advent of Cell phones more and more folks can't be found in the local Phone book.
So that leave reverse look up or similar ways of being found and finding folks. Or if your are NOT trying to Hide for some reason? Get yourself a personal web page here, and an Email account and start getting connected and make yourself easier to find.
So how about letting the Holy Spirit of God get a break, in having folks find you? Do some of the work of being found doing what you love and where you love to be found; get connected and stay tuned in to what is coming next.
