Blogs & new way of communication

I know I have been really lazy that I haven’t been writing on my blog, but I hope you’ll findI have done a lot of stuff since then. I am currently teaching assistant in cultural anthropology and communication and working as a Public Relations department Coordinator. How does that match? I don’t know, it seems it does.

As a coordinator at the Public Relations department at the University of Bucharest, we have done some things, and here is the presentation trailer of three blogs that we started and that we are writing at constantly:

I hope you’ll enjoy it, especially that we really worked our asses on them.

You have here a presentation that I wrote two years ago and which hasn’t ever been presented to Vodafone. Therefore I can make it available.




Bookcrossing experiment

Another project that I have started for about 2-3 weeks: in the hall of Faculty of Letters, University of Bucharest, I put two bags with used books: universal & Romanian literature, literature critique. The point was book sharing. I also wrote a message: Grab a book but put one in place! The first two days, students were looking really curious but they weren’t looking into the bags to see what books were there. After that, they started to look deep into the bags and really look over them. Later, they started to do the crossing thing. But only a percentage of 40% really put a book in place, the rest only taking them and … stealing them? I will wait to see if they are stealing them or they are just reading & bringing them back.

What does this mean for me? I don’t know yet, but I will draw some conclusions out of this after more time. Now it would be too premature.
