Facebook Tools Kurrently – monitor mentions Hootsuite – monitor wall, update status (free & starting at $5.99/month) Facebook Insights – metrics for business pages (included, free) Twitter Sign up: http://twitter.com -Username – pick one similar to your real name/brand name -Complete information: photo, bio, url -Follow people (Use Google contacts prompt + Who to Follow) -Send a few Tweets to get started. Shorten the links you share with Bit.ly because you only have 140 characters. Glossary - The terms you need to know are: Avatar – This is just a fancy word for your profile picture. cc – Sometimes you will see someone cc’d on a Tweet. This is almost like someone is “tagged” in a Tweet the way someone can be tagged in a picture on Facebook. Twitter client – This is a third party tool used to send updates to Twitter. The most popular tools include Tweetdeck, Hootsuite, Seesmic and CoTweet. Direct Messages - A direct, private message to another user. Also called DM’s. Favorite – You can “favorite” Tweets and view your favorite Tweets at http://twitter.com/username/favorites. For example, this may be helpful for bookmarking Tweets of links you want to read later. Follow – This is Twitter’s equivalent to “friending” as in Facebook. When you follow someone, it means you subscribe to their Tweets. When someone follows you, they subscribe to your Tweets. Handle – This is your Twitter username #hashtags = Tagged terms, helpful for search. People most often tag events, trends, and locations. (Example, tagging a comment about the weather in Boston with #Boston would be appropriate.) h/t – “hat tip” – This may be used when someone Tweets a great article and you Tweet the link and you want to refer to where you got the article from. It is considered good Twitter etiquette to give credit like this. RTs = ReTweets, or repeating someone else’s Tweet, to show you agree with them Unfollow – This is unsubscribing to someone’s undates. It is somewhat the equivalent to “unfriending” someone on Facebook. @replies - a direct, public reply to another user. Tip: If you start a Tweet with @Zappos, only your followers who also follow @Zappos will see that update. Want everyone to see that Tweet? Use the .@ trick and start the Tweet with .@Zappos. Twitter Lists – This feature lets you create a list of people. This is helpful for categorizing the people you follow. For example, you might create a list of your coworkers that you follow on Twitter, as well as a list of the news outlets that you follow. Twitter Search - Search bar at the top of Twitter.com. Also: http://search.twitter.com Use this to search what people are saying about current events, trends, brands, topics, places, people, etc. You can set up saved searches for any of these things in a Twitter client and monitor the conversations. Via – This is similar to “hat tip” – it’s another way to refer to where you got an article or idea from. It’s considered good Twitter etiquette to credit others. Twitter Tools: Hootsuite – Manage Twitter searches, respond to @replies + manage Facebook pages Twilerts – Google alerts for Twitter (set one for your company name, keywords that matter to you) Twitter search – http://search.twitter.com = Twitter’s own search tool.
