Sue,
I answered your question on my blog, about where the questions are hidden.

Have you read the assignment instruction sheet? Or perhaps you didn't receive it. If you had you would know that text short forms, such as U for you are not acceptable when blogging for this class.

That's just a choice I've made so that we meet the George Brown standards for communication. You could use any form or language on a blog in nearly any other case...except e-marketing...stay tuned and I'll tell you why as the course unfolds.

Or better yet, give it some thought and tell me why you wouldn't use text messaging short forms in marketing? Or why you would, if you prefer.

Thank you for your quick reply. To be honest with you the reason I used the text short form "u" is simply a force of habit. However, I do realize that this is e-marketing and not my cell phone or facebook..not that i use facebook.

Using text messaging short forms in e-marketing would seem unprofessional and it could also be misinterpreted.

Welcome

I hope to address many interesting issues on this blog while adhering to the rules and expectations of e-marketing.

My expectations about this course are to gain an insight into the world of E-Marketing, its abilities to efficiently convey a positive influence on the hospitality industry, and its current/future trends and possibilities.
During the past three years in our program, we have had three very repetitive marketing courses and I am hoping that this one will bring something new to our experience.

Q: What is the best way to assure a blog viewer of the authenticity of the image?

A: The authenticity only becomes an issue if blog viewers really care about where/how/when an image was taken. It is the message that should count more since images could add to a more judgmental interpretation of the messages. And if it is really important for someone to assure the authenticity of an image, she/he should "attach" a video to the blog instead of an image.

With today's technological advances and internet options it could be really hard to have that assurance.
