I have an event planned for my students, but I thought I'd throw it open to the folks here at the message board, too.
This term I've mentioned Daria Musk, a young singer/songwriter who is either the first or among the first success stories to come from Google+, the two-month-old social network that is already posing a serious threat to Twitter and Facebook. In the span of just a few days, Daria went from being a virtual unknown to performing concerts live in front of thousands of people all over the world. Her music is now selling on iTunes and she is generating buzz all over the country. I reached out to her and she offered to host a Q&A session that we can stream live through the Hangout feature on G+ (basically, Hangout allows users to have real-time video/audio chat with up to 10 different cameras). On Thursday, September 8th, from 3:30-4:30 (PST), students will be able to participate in the networking opportunity. Students on Google+ can also view and ask questions from their homes or elsewhere. Daria is willing to talk about being a young artist who has found overnight success, as well as talk about social media, specifically Google+. This is a chance for you to chat live with someone who is living the dream, and this is a chance to learn more about a new social networking tool already used by a reported 40 million people. Even if pop music isn't your thing, there is still much you can take away from this Q&A session. We will also be streaming the event live for those who wish to be passive audience members. If you want to join the "Hangout," add me on G+ (link below). If you still do not yet have an invite to join, email me offlist (you need a Gmail account).
