Mashable, the go-to Web site for social media news and information is seeking nominations for it’s “Open Web Awards,” recognizing people in various categories of bloggers and social media users. Among the juu people nominated in THREE categories is Wilmington’s own Hilarie Burton. She’s nominated in the “Best Actor/Actress to Follow,” “Best Celebrity to Follow,” and “Most Inspiring,” categories. wewe know her as a former nyota of One mti Hill, filmed here, and for launching her own production company earlier this year.
Nominations in Mashable’s Open Web Awards go through Sunday, Nov. 15th, and so far, Hilarie’s among the juu 10 most nominated in those categories. She’s come a long way in in the social media realm. I interviewed Hilarie and her colleagues earlier in the mwaka about her new production company, Southern Gothic Productions (or, SoGoPro) and the company’s use of social media and video blogs to connect with mashabiki and give insight into their work. At the time, Hilarie hardly knew what a blog was – she alisema the idea was new to her and she was learning as she went. Now, she blogs regularly on SoGoPro’s Web site, and she and her colleagues run a Twitter account to connect with Marafiki and fans.
Hilarie and her SoGoPro partners Nick Gray and Kelly Tenney rely on social media and blogs for several purposes: broadcasting sasisho about their work, allowing mashabiki to stay tuned to their work, featuring podcasts from other works, gaining ideas and help from mashabiki and followers and creating a personal connection to the people who will be watching their work. It’s a way to stay transparent, according to the three in an interview earlier this year.
