Misconceptions about social media

• “I don’t want people to find out bad things about me.”– You control your own message, so don’t put bad things out

there.

• “If I am not on there, people won’t talk about me.” – You can’t control what others do whether you are on it or not.

• “It is just all about that Bob ate Taco Bell for lunch.”– Most of it is not that. Plus, you don’t have to follow the “Bobs”

of social media.

• “Social media only brings trouble.” – It is just like anything else, there is good and bad. You can

choose to focus on the good.

Power of Social Media

• Cory Booker and Sandy

• When news broke that the Del Taco in midtown St. Louis, known for its saucer shape, was to be demolished, a social media storm broke out in St. Louis. Even Mayor Slay got on the Twitter bandwagon with it.– River Front Times Article– June 22, 2011 is when the FB group started by June

24 they had 10,000 signatures on a petition to keep it open. #FHSDp

Your message

• People are going to take away a message from you no matter what. Social media gives you the power to give them the message you want them to take away.

Twitter

• More simple and streamlined then Facebook.

• More freedom of who you can follow.

• The ultimate network. • Less is more.

Twitter• Main Idea

– Every tweet is a max of 140 characters– Interaction is important (@replies and RT – retweets)– Use link shorteners like bit.ly or goo.gl– # hastags make it easy to follow specific people or events,

like #Election2012.

• When you sign up for a username, you want to keep it as short and simple as possible, so when people @ reply you or RT you, the name doesn’t take up too many characters.

• Start by following people who are interested in some of the same things you are.– For example: education, football, cooking, photography…
