I want to introduce myself and my interest and reason for starting this blog. I live and work in Vancouver – I have a passion for the place. I am only starting to understand the layers of problems that Vancouver/BC faces. But all considered it’s not doing too badly.
I work as a freelance video journalist – Mainly for VancouverIAM a social media network online.
It has become increasingly apparent to me how important the online community really is – I am only now starting twitter. My friend, who is socially the “it” girl in computer land really made a strong impression when she talked about how essential the online world is.
Now we have the opportunity to really change things… Online petitions, social groups, activists, social media, citizen journalist. Everyone has an opportunity to really get involved. There is no longer an excuse to act passively to something that is bothing you.
I like all of this and am really excited to be taking part in this online movement. This is why I blog today.
