Creativity

Many different things that we all will have ideas about can define creativity, most of us think of artist, and imaginations when we think of this. Creativity has much different impact on social media, new media, and new business.

We might not want to remember/ consider this but all businesses are all about creativity, you find a need of the public and then you use it to make a solution to the need. All these social networking sites were a “idea of creativitiy” that was thought of by the creator- the internet was “blowing up” and the creators of facebook, twitter, myspace, instagram, etc thought of a way to keep the public informed about what we were doing, a way to communicate, and converse among one another.

In the article “Twitter Serves up ideas from its followers” by Claire Cain Miller published in 2009 by the NY times it discusses how twitter has being getting information from its users improve. Its like how smart is that? Using your consumers to get feedback on how to improve… Hmm or “DUH”. This how most business gets information about how to improve, comment cards at restaurants and hotels? It’s only the smart companies that are smart enough to actually listen to its consumers.

In the article “1+1+1=1” by Sasha Frere-Jones published by The New Yorker in 2005 is an extreme example of creativity. I think artist, rappers, singers, producers, etc take a lot of creativity to do their jobs successfully. Some people do have that nitch but others do. But as we all know the advances in technology continues to make this easier.
