Cargo 3120: The Making of a Sci-Fi Franchise #12

CARGO3120Entry 12 – How Important is Social Media?
by Daymond C. Roman

(EDITOR’S NOTE: The Story So Far starts HERE)

So, as Aaron worked on our website I was in charge of social media. Now, I’m not one of those frequent “facebookers”, “tweeters”, or “instagramers”. At least, I wasn’t at the time; but in order to develop any type of audience these days, social media is a must.

I mean, it’s not like it used to be; back in the day, marketing campaigns were all about purchasing TV/radio spots and/or some sort of printed publication. And that was it, because that’s where everyone’s eyeballs were. Today, even if you have those marketing vehicles, the everyday consumer expects you to have a strong online presence, because that’s where the eyeballs are now. And I’m not just talking about a website either. read article

As I said last week, web design was never my thing. I felt I never had an eye for it, nor the patience to learn the process for that matter. But I knew I had to change by attitude toward this task or this was never going to work. That meant doing a ton of research.

We wanted a blog style site with the ability to show the latest webcomic page when a person first accesses the site. We planned to release one page per week, so we needed to be able to queue up content to release on a set schedule. read article

Hank Isaac: Underfunded Overachievers – The Crafting of “Lilac”

Lilac 1

by Hank Isaac

I read somewhere that we’re supposedly entering the “Third Golden Age of Television.” Referring, of course, to the Internet’s ability to deliver up real-time (and other) programming to the potential global audience of more than eight-billion connected souls in 193 countries. (Are there really THAT many countries?)

But really… “Third Golden Age?” There can only ever be one golden age of anything. C’mon now. So maybe this is like some sort of Bronze Age. Maybe. Bronze looks pretty good. Especially when polished well. Though you gotta keep polishing it. Otherwise, it starts to get a kind of green-blue patina all over. Which also looks good. Kinda. Hmmm… Metaphor alert? read article
