Hello. My name is Patrick and I’m trying to stand out in the cloud.
I’ve just started an MA in Interactive Journalism at City University, London and as such I am desperately trying to up my digital game so I can stand out as an effective journalistic presence.
The upsetting part is that, currently, my digital presence is not the best.
As of last week I have around 90 followers on Twitter – @PatrickScott17 – and my Tweeting frequency is shockingly sporadic. Although it must be said that your Twitter account is not a completely accurate representation of your online presence, it is, at least, a good indicator.
In order to remedy this I have set up this blog in the hope that I can use the posts from it to explore and experiment with the many ways of ‘standing out in the cloud’.
Hopefully I can take some readers with me.
If you have any questions about my posts or any suggestions as to what I should look into next, please let me know. Comment or email me at patrickscott1712@gmail.com.
