sites for social networking and microblogging)

to share information, ideas, personal
messages, and other content (as videos)”

2002+ launch of many popular social
media sites

Not just for kids, and maybe it never was
People 50 and older are one of the fastest growing
groups of users

Source: jeffbullas.com , “12 Awesome Social Media Facts and Statistics for 2013”
To use or not to use, that is the question
• Pick and choose

• Be a super user of a few

A brief how-to on making this all work for you

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
It’s all about crowdsourcing
You don’t have to work alone anymore
– Make contacts far and wide
– Saves time
– Saves resources
– Get real time results
Use more than one platform
• Combinations are key
- Different functions
- Different users

• Build similar
connections on each
- It’s okay to stalk your
favorites
- Build stronger
relationships

• Don’t be afraid to ask
for help
Example 1: Surfing the web late at night
Example 1: Great educational experience
Example 3: Education opportunities
Let me have it and thanks for coming!
