互联网和社交网站的力量
格里昂校友写于2013年11月14日
这是我博客上的第一篇文章，我决定谈一谈互联网，以及互联网是如何成为我们日常生活中不可或缺的一部分的。我曾在格里昂就读并于2000年从那里毕业。当时，我们的第一个网络连接是由学校提供的，安装在我们的宿舍中，当然没有无线连接，也没有智能手机的概念！
我记得当我们要做可行性研究和查找文件的时候，想通过简单操作就获得所需信息是一件特别困难的事。已过去13年多了，现在我们用互联网可以做我们想做的任何事情：工作、研究、阅读文章、和朋友或家人联系、预定酒店、预定航班、分享图片等等。社交网站也日益兴盛：Facebook、领英（Linkedin）、推特（Tweeter）或Pinterest，这个列表无穷无尽；公司现在可以在世界范围内沟通并即时转播信息。和很多人一样，我也在我的工作和个人生活中使用了一些社交网站。比如，负责格里昂巴黎校友分会时，我建立了一个Facebook群组，专门用于格里昂巴黎校友和理诺士校友就新闻和会展活动等进行沟通讨论。同时这也是一个平台，校友们可以在上面发布职位空缺，按条件寻找供货商、组织调查以及与其他校友联系。众所周知，领英（Linkedin）也是职场人士构建人脉关系网络和找工作的强大工具。
与此同时，我经营着我自己的公司，但是我没有用任何Facebook粉丝网页或领英（Linkedin）页面来提高公司的知名度。你问我为什么要这样做？我尊重客户期望得到的自由裁量权，并且直到现在，公司的口碑更加牢固，也赋予了客户更大的选择余地。从另一方面来说，我不能说如果我再开一家新公司我仍然不会用网站或社交网站大力宣传。这些都要取决于你的目标市场，取决于你想把你的产品或服务与多少人分享。并且管理社交网站是需要花费大量时间的。看看相关的工作数目的增加以及公司中对网络社区管理人员的需求增加就知道了。格里昂也利用互联网的力量设立了酒店管理在线MBA课程 — 世界上第一批在线MBA课程之一、记录网络在线研讨会、举办业界领袖和学生、老师现场交流会和互动研讨会。
请观看最近的现场交流会！主题为”当今行业内的挑战（Challenges in today’s industry）“
我们可以讨论互联网和社交网络的利弊长达几个小时，但对我来说，我当然不能在没有网络联系的状态下生活！

The Power of Internet and social networks
by Alumni 14 November 2013
For my first article as a blogger, I have decided to talk about the internet and how it has become essential in our daily life. I studied at Glion and graduated in 2000. At that time, we had the first internet connections provided by the school in our rooms, no wireless connection of course, and no idea about smart phones!
I remember when we had to do our feasibility study and find documentation, how hard it was to get information easily from the Web. More than thirteen years later, we use the internet for whatever we do: for our work, to do research, read articles, to stay in contact with our friends or family, to book hotel rooms, flights, share pictures and so on. With the raise of social networks such as Facebook, Linkedin, Tweeter or Pinterest, the list is endless; companies are now able to communicate world-wide and relay information instantly. Like many people, I use some of these networks for my work or my private life. For example, being in charge of the Alumni French Chapter, I created a Facebook group for the Parisian Glion & Les Roches Alumni to communicate about news and events organized. It is also a platform where Alumni can post job openings, make requests for finding a supplier, conduct surveys and interact with other Alumni. Linkedin, as we all know, is also a great tool for professional networking and finding a job.
At the same time, I run my company but do not have any Facebook fan page or Linkedin page to promote my company. Why would you ask me? I respect the discretion my clients expect from me and until now, word of mouth has been stronger and more selective. On the other hand, I cannot say that if I open a new business I will not have a powerful presence on the Web and social networks. It all depends on the target market and how many people you want to share your products or services with. And it takes a lot of time to feed the networks. Just look at the increase of job-related opportunities and Community Managers in companies. Glion has understood the power of internet by launching one of the first online Hospitality MBAs, recording webinars and organizing live streaming and interactive workshop between industry leaders, students and faculty.
Watch the last live stream event about Challenges in today’s industry!
We could discuss the pros and cons of internet and social networks for hours; but certainly for me, I couldn’t live disconnected!
