Katie Hyzy’s Blog

Week two of my time with Ingenex Digital Marketing has proven to be exciting and action packed. We spent our last session working with various Squidoo pages. Squidoo is a platform that allows for people to create pages (lenses) and add recommendations to a database of topics that one can search through. This was all very new to me; I thought it was really cool that a website exists where one can create a topic through their point of view (hence the term lens) for others to explore. You can include anything from relevant blog RSS feeds, to Amazon books, Flickr pictures and YouTube video clips to the lens you create. Essentially, it’s a nice little home for multi-media web content pertinent to your topic. I worked on creating the Eco-Friendly Internship Squidoo page, while Pedro concentrated his efforts on the Social Harbor page.

Jennifer and Amanda added our individual intern bios to the Eco-Friendly Internship page, so be sure to check those out too!

Lastly, we gained experience creating individual profiles on AboutUs. The site operates as a personal Wiki type page that allows your to post your own bio and link any relevant pages you should so choose. It’s pretty cool! I’m looking forward to seeing how each of these sites help me create my online presence. 

I’m continuing to really enjoy my time at Ingenex. I find the work to be very engaging and interesting- I definitely can’t wait to see where this internship takes me. I also had the chance to attend my first LA2M meeting (Lunch Ann Arbor Marketing) last Wednesday. It was really great and inspiring to see local Ann Arbor Marketing professionals lend their expertise. This will be a great learning and networking opportunity no doubt.

Phew… that was a lot. Until next time!
