Maxon Media is on Facebook! We need friends!

By: Michael Lipe, creative director, April 11, 2009

What has become increasingly clear, the emergence of social networking as means of business promotion is the wave of the future.

The Maxon Media staff attended WordCampNola this weekend (Apr 10-11) to find out more about the emerging technologies for the integration of Word Press both as a blogging system, and as a sitewide CMS. Due to nature of this software, there are virtually unlimited possibilities to the power of this system due to the fact that it is what is called “open-source”, which means as web developers all over the world use the system, they can customize individual plug-ins that expand the capabilities of the software as a whole. Having the ability to sort through all of the availble plug-ins, keep up with the software upgrades and implement compelling designs (that are not like everyone else who uses WordPress) is where we can really help. But Word Press as a whole who is a very flexible and easy-tu-use system for those interested in wading into the world of “content-managed” websites.

 

Anyway, back to Facebook. One of the benefits (and implications) of this type of conference is helping website developers and owners understand the complex world of social networking, which ultimately serve as communication tools and self-promotional tools. Typically, social-networking tools like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, etc have been more for personal use. But a rising trend is for companies and organizations to establish social-networking personas online to help communicate to their clients and supporters.

 

So, we have followed suit. If you would like to become a “fan” of Maxon Media on Facebook, we would love to hear from you. And if your not on Facebook, it’s worth a try. Specifically if you would like to hook up with your old friends from high school.
