Looking back on my blog posts for 2009, two distinct topics highlight the year: Sotomayor and social media. The year began with great excitement for our new national leader and finally some serious hope for political change. Posts also concentrated on blog development and social media in general, with focus on the enormous increase and recognition of Latino audiences online.
Prior to Barack Obama’s nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the highest court of the land, the President appointed the former Bronx Borough President to a high level administrative position at the White House. The Puerto Rican quarter officially debuted this year and the territory’s political and economic status were the subject of blog posts. I wrote entries about my experience with Twitter and my attendance at the first conference of Latinos in Social Media.
Overall, 2009 was an excellent year for Latinos and social media. I look forward to 2010 and am certain that both will continue to be influential.
Happy New Year!
