This is my WeeMee. It is pretty funny. You can make your own avatar on the WeeMee web site. You can use your WeeMee to put him on your blog like I did, to play games or to send animated postcards. I have to admit that it’s probably not the most usefull Web 2.0 application but it sure is funny.

…then go to the i-merge Homepage and pick a pixel. I have already got mine. I’m not really sure what to to with it but according to the i-wisdom blog “Something’s about to happen”. You also get a certificate of authenticity which is pretty cool. Now i’m curious where they are going with this.

Mogulus is a new Web2.0 application which makes it possible to start your own channel and broadcast the content you want. According to their homepage, it is possible to create a TV station and:

“all you need is Mogulus, the Internet and a webcam, along with your talent and passion to communicate”.

The difference with sites like YouTube or Videopodcasts is that you can mix your videos with other videos and still images to create your own show. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to test the application myself because it’s a beta program and availability is limited at first but after watching the video on their first page, I think that it’s possible to create a TV Show that looks very professional without much effort. It looks like you can drag and drop the videos into a storyboard and it is even possible to broadcast live.

I’m not sure if anything similar already exists but this could be a great opportunity for citizen journalists who want to create their own TV station. They aren’t limited to writing anymore and can create a TV show with a professional look without needing much technical knowledge.

There are a few very interesting statistics in this power point presentation I found on the These Days Blog:

The presentation says that there is no stability anymore and that only a few people are employed by the same company for a long period of time. This is particularly true for the PR and communications industry where you usually have many different jobs during your career. In a few years, I’m going to work in this industry and I wanted to hear from more experienced communicators if it’s really an industry where you change jobs every couple of years? It would certainly make sense because it’s a very fast-moving, dynamic industry with lots of different job opportunities. How was your experience? Have you had many different jobs in your career?

It’s funny that according to the presentation, I am going to have a job, use technologies and solve problems that don’t exist yet. This just shows how fast the world changes and that education doesn’t stop with university but is a lifelong experience.
