My feedback on BCU feedback on my Social Media Projects

I have always believed in con­struc­tive crit­i­cisms. Actu­ally they are a kind of feed­back I appre­ci­ate most after sin­cere congratulations.

To be hon­est I did not find any hint of con­struc­tive crit­i­cism in the com­ment I received about my social media projects by the panel of lec­tur­ers who attended my pre­sen­ta­tion.
On the con­trary it looked like a crit­i­cism meant to be a mere crit­i­cism with­out any hope in the hell of being help­ful to me.

If they did not see that my social media agency hav­ing the pos­si­bil­ity to exploit the oppor­tu­nity to make social media cam­paigns on my own social net­work was a mean­ing­ful busi­ness idea, it’d bet­ter I speak with my main tar­get group which are com­pa­nies which already engaged in social media and social media cam­paigns and found them extremely prof­itable

In fact I have never pre­sumed to pass on the knowl­edge on a so broad and grow­ing indus­try, such as Social Media, in only 7 min­utes because I con­sider “learn­ing” a long and var­ied process.

Actu­ally I live and work in social media since 11 years. My first approach was a long con­tri­bu­tion to the suc­cess­ful Mar­ket­ing List, directed by Elena Antog­nazza, many years ago. 11 years passed quickly but I did not waste any of them out­side social media. I have always been in there.

As the panel of lec­tur­ers attrib­uted the qual­ity of being too open to my Social Net­work, I can only say thanks to them from the hearth.

Fur­ther­more Blomap is a Gen­er­al­ist Social Net­work in terms of top­ics, so it wants to be wide open and leave users free to invent their own way to use it.

As for what dif­fer­en­ti­ates Blomap from other social net­works, well it is some­thing I wrongly pre­sumed it was clear as it is based on maps and blogs. Any­way to clar­ify it again: Blomap is com­pletely based on Geo Local­i­sa­tion of con­tent, peo­ple and net­works.
You can check here the most inter­est­ing Google maps projects and tell me if Blomap already exists.

In gen­eral my strong advice to peo­ple not under­stand­ing a web­site is to use it.
In fact, we are not speak­ing of books that you can tell to other peo­ple in your own way.
On the con­trary we are speak­ing of Social Media, the most inno­v­a­tive com­mu­ni­ca­tion chan­nels nowa­days.
They are meant to be experienced.

In addi­tion to that my best sug­ges­tion for peo­ple com­ing from other indus­tries and approach­ing social media is to be on social media. If you are not there you can­not get the sense of it.
Well, none of the lec­tur­ers attend­ing my pre­sen­ta­tion ever joined Blomap.

This is sup­posed to be my con­struc­tive crit­i­cism to the feed­back I received from BCU on my social media projects.
It is due to be done accord­ing to my Social Media Natives project, so please do not stare in won­der and sur­prise. Stu­dents’ feed­back is some­thing lec­tur­ers and teach­ers from all over the world should start at least to con­sider to face and to prop­erly answer it.

Hope­fully they should con­sider it help­ful to become bet­ter lec­tur­ers and teach­ers.
The time of lob­bies is over in all indus­tries.
As my lec­turer Paul Brad­shaw (who was not part of that panel) said: com­mu­ni­ties which do not want to be open and to con­tin­u­ously change are sup­posed to die soon.
I could not agree more because we live in the INTERACTION ERA.

What I could expect is a sort of revenge taken by reduc­ing my marks on next assign­ment as my teacher 20 years ago did for 3 years start­ing when I told her the class wanted a dif­fer­ent learn­ing approach.
Well, I do not care because I am study­ing to learn.

Nor­mally if some­one does not get high marks is because he has not learnt. So it is a teach­ers’ work to make the stu­dent notice what he hasn’t learnt.
Of course my ques­tion is: what haven’t I learnt?

Do you think my ques­tion will be answered?
I am not so con­fi­dent about that…are you?
