When Jason Parker wrote to ask if he could use an academic work of mine for his Social Media appreciation class at the University of Chicago Graham School of General Studies, I was thrilled. It also dawned upon me that social media is certainly worth all that time and effort.
How did Jason, Adjunct Professor at University of Chicago and Planning Director at Leo Burnett and quite possibly on the exact opposite of the world, discover ‘Role of Social Media in Contemporary Marketing’, an ‘obscure’ literature review I had completed only last September?
Social media.
And how did I make that happen?

I am almost finished setting up this blog and happy to welcome you to my new domain!
Why I Went Self-Hosted?
I felt constrained being on the WordPress.com platform at http://groovygenie.wordpress.com, although it is a simple and easy to use blogging platform. The inability to customise themes or add plugins to WordPress.com really felt punishing and suffocated the geek in me. I had to break free!
Web Analytics is Dope
But most importantly, I would like to deepen my learning in web analytics and the only way to do this is to have control over my blog, this blog. I see this as a worthwhile investment, got to walk the talk, baby!
Vanity is Evil
Then again, a really nice URL to call my own is pretty sweet as well! I am using Host Gator for my hosting needs. Highly recommended by tweeples.
Well, things have been going swimmingly well so far, so if anyone need some pointers on setting up your self-hosted WordPress, I am happy to share! Drop me a mail or tweet me anytime.
So I welcome you to the new A GroovyWeb by Isman Tanuri! Do stick around ya’ll!
Yours sincerely,
The Groove Master
