Traditional vs. Change
Some products choose to stay traditional with their brands to keep their loyal customers. Because coke has been around longer than Pepsi (coke since1886 developed by John Pemberton, Pepsi was invented in1898 by Caleb Bradham), they've always tried to stay the original "coke" drink. In recent years, pepsi has decided to go the "change" route, and create a new look for their brand, which targets a younger audience. Pepsi has always hired celebrities to appear in their commercials such as Britney Spears, Shakira, Beyonce, Pink, etc. Coke on the other hand has had a few celebrities in their commercials, but for the most part, it's all about tradition. When I was little and my mom came home with a new hairstyle I used to cry because I didn't think it looked like her anymore. I was so used to her original hairstyle, I didn't want to have to get use to change.

The Importance of Being a Social Butterfly
When I was in high school I was friends with this guy named Tyler Oakley. Since I've been out of high school he has made himself out to be quite the celebrity. It all started when he became a part of youtube in the fall of '07...as of now he has 82,952 subscribers. He is now in contact with the famous blogger Perez hilton... according to Tyler's facebook he and Perez have texted each other in the past. Perez even surprised Tyler by getting him a backstage pass to meet the lovely Lady Gaga. Tyler has a fan page on facebook where 18,759 people are "fans" of his. He has a district lines website where he sells t-shirts and other merchandise. On facebook he has actually posted pictures of different fans wearing his t-shirts and I think that's a good way that he connects with his fans, and gains more buyers. You name it, he has it. A tumblr, facebook, twitter, two youtube accounts...he is a part of another channel called thefiveawesomegays which has 50,512 subscribers. A non-profit organization called The Trevor Project asked him to speak at different colleges and was able to get an internship with them in Los Angeles, California. Tyler has traveled to the world to different places such as Tokyo, Europe, and all across the United States. Not only that, he is employed by the University he attends, Michigan State University to make "how to" videos. How you should be prepared to go into an interview, how to make a resume, etc. He has made a name for himself and I'm interested to see where he takes his success in the future.
