Social Media, Retail

My name is Jonathan Long, or "jLo" for short and I am Managing the Social Media for the retail/consumer business for Seagate. One of the aspects of social media I am a huge proponent of is the ability to tell a story. Whether it’s a current event, a memory of yesteryear or just a thought to be shared with the world, social media is a terrific outlet. Seagate loves stories and loves to hear how Seagate products are being used to tell that story. I'll be scouring the web and the world to showcase unique ways to use our devices. Read my blog to see what’s going on in the world of Seagate and follow me on Twitter at @Seagate_Con!

Why Is Big Data a Big Deal?

I often forget that the majority of people I come in contact with take the concept of storage for granted. It’s not top of mind for them as it is for me due to the nature of my work. But, I like opportunities like this because it gives me a chance to bring storage front [...]
