Hello Social World!

I think an introduction is in order.

Hello. My name is Trent Sherrell (AKA: tSherrell): IA [Information Architect], UX [User Experience] Designer, Graphic Designer, Film Student (screenwriting), and now, Social Media Strategist.

Why?

Social capital and the Internet have fundamentally changed the way people engage, educate, value, and operate. This new socialism, is as major a milestone in our societal evolution as was the Industrial Age. It is not the future—it is the now.

Friends reconnect after decades. Families, separated by vast distances, rebuild bonds. People recommend other people and good services to their networks. Colleagues collaborate more than ever, connected only by electronic means. Justice for others is demanded from an informed world rather than a few locals. These aren't bad things. These are advancements furthered by the Social Web.

The participation and creation of solid, sustainable, networks within the Social Web is key for professionals and businesses alike if they are to function in the modern world.

For me, the communication disciplines of: IA (strategic) , UX (interactive), Graphic Design (visual), and Screenwriting (narrative) combine to create a foundation for expert understanding of how to plan, build, and maintain successful social networks.

This is an exciting new time of engagement—not only worldwide (that's old news) but now, between individuals.

I look forward to posting more thoughts and findings to this blog about the Social Web and connecting people and businesses.

Kindest regards,
Trent Sherrell
