  12. the results BEYOND THE NUMBERS In preparing for Barcamp I noticed a Twitter account for PayPal. Strangely, it wasn’t spouting corporate shillage-speak. Whoever sat behind that Twitter Account was actually interacting with people. They invited me along to their Australian Developer Days, and I said yes. Signed up today, applied for leave, and had an excellent email conversation with them. Let me tell you why this is important, although you might’ve already guessed. PayPal is no longer faceless. They talked to me like a real person. Possibly laughed at me singing a song. Looked at my blog, made reference to a completely different post that needed some searching to find. This is good PR, good people skills. This wins people over. At the very least, it’s won me over. Source: http://stuandrews.com/2009/06/30/paypal-noticed-me/ <3 u 2! JYE SMITH | Social Media Strategist @jyesmith
  13. twitter TWITTER-AWESOME • After research, Twitter was a key communication tool to reach out to developers • Using our experience we were able to grow the followers quickly, while being highly targeted • During updates (sell outs, ticket information etc) Twitter proved to be a fast and public means of delivering information • At-event and post-event feedback could be responded to in real time • We could support the developers by sharing and retweeting interesting and useful links • Personal and Public: Invitations and feedback • Hashtag meant that more attention delivered to events around Australia from various tweeters Key was to support sales, marketing and PR JYE SMITH | Social Media Strategist @jyesmith
