My wedding day and Social Media

November 4, 2009
By chiarabolognini

I am devel­op­ing an exten­sive social media life ver­sus a social life and it is not as bad as many peo­ple think. Actu­ally I am shar­ing knowl­edge with a lot of peo­ple I have never met and trans­fer­ring knowl­edge to the same peo­ple + my friends. I enjoy it, I can­not with­hold it.

Well, I am going to organ­ise my wed­ding day and I am think­ing how nice would be to send my wed­ding invi­ta­tion through Blomap to my geek friends and even to mid or low geek peo­ple.
On the other hand I’ve  got a big gap: the loca­tion on the earth.

I live in Basel but I am Ital­ian. My fam­ily and friends lives in dif­fer­ent regions and I have con­sid­ered that the cost of the flight to Basel is quite high.
Actu­ally I lived in Rome for many years and I have always thought that I could never organ­ise my wed­ding day in Rome because of the chaos that city lives with. On the con­trary I had to recon­sider Rome as the best loca­tion for many rea­sons and mainly for its position.

Rome is undoubt­edly a cen­tre of inter­est, well con­nected with many other cities for ages.
An Ital­ian motto says: all roads lead you to Rome.
In fact, as  social media does, Rome con­nects all peo­ple in one place. Well, I think that the traf­fic you get in Rome is bad for a city but so good to have in a social media website.

The prob­lem is how to con­nect peo­ple, that’s it. Let’s give our­selves the pos­si­bil­ity of work­ing more from home and decen­tralise the work, then the green side together with the organ­i­sa­tional side of social media will come up in a breeze. Social media gives us the tools to aggre­gate in a socia­ble way and move to any­where and to any­one through few clicks.

Why do many coun­tries not work this way nowa­days? This is an open question.

How­ever, let´s see what I decide about my wed­ding day as a start and see how much social media I can do within it…
I will keep you posted.
