Notes on slide 1

But first . . . A Test. I’ll show you a word, number or character. . . You tell me what it means.Photo Credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/49503156729@N01/11827393/

Number of characters you can use in a tweet

A message sent on Twitter

The symbol you use to identify that you’re replying to someone

Retweet = Forwarding a message written by someone else

Hashtag = Used to identify a category or theme for your message. Example: #FollowFriday or #GSUPRSSA (or #TopChef, #NASCAR)

Direct Message = A private message sent to just one person. (And a “twoops” is an accidental @ message when you meant to send a DM)

The Fail Whale = Image used when Twitter is down

Twitter clients. Easier for many to use than the web-based interface

The question that Twitter asks you to answer.

This makes more sense to me . . . Answer the question “What has captured your interest?”Share ideas, links, things that made you scratch your head or laugh . . . Ask questions.

So you’re probably thinking . . . What’s in it for me?I’ve broken it down into four main categories.

Remember these two things:

FIRST:For you to benefit from Twitter, you MUST be following “good” people or accounts. Otherwise, you’re wasting your time.What was it like when you FIRST started using Twitter?Image Credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51035764102@N01/2002866892/

Here are two lists of people to get you started. The Starter Pack for PR Students has PR pros, professors, and more. The GSU_PR list contains Georgia Southern PR Students, Recent Grads & Faculty.

SECOND: Keep it clean. Potential employers (and your professors . . . Maybe even your parents!) may read anything you write and post online.

And these last three aren’t about TwitterImage Credit: Adapted from http://ebookstore.sony.com/ebook/remy-stern/but-wait-theres-more/_/R-400000000000000130649

Keep yourself informed about the world of PR. I read Ragan’s PR Daily (it comes to my e-mail each morning), and I listen to For Immediate Release (twice a week) and Inside PR (once a week).
