- Do you really want to write about something regularly? Are you really passionate and really knowledgeable about the topic, follow the latest news and developments? Do you write well and don’t need spelling, grammar, editing help? Do you have a thick skin dealing with negative comments? post comments, share video, repurpose your existing content or post worthwhile links

- Turns out to be a marketing expert by the name of Amy Martin with tons of followers who stages Twitter events!
- companies w/ own Twitter page. This is another notification system, better than email because it can reach people’s cell phones via text messages, so it is even more immediate than IM. started by a single person within the company who now has the job responsibility to check the feed and resolve any customer complaints You can resolve ticketing issues with Southwest, banking fees with Bof A, or even keep track of the latest community alerts from the LA Fire Department!
- Didn’t make their target though But they do broadcast Twares (Twitter-only fares)
- Burger king ad campaign -- drop 10 FBk friends, get a free burger Handed out 20,000 coupons

- Can post to multiple social networks at once, from phone or IM or email or Web browsers
- Let’s look at LinkedIn’s collaboration tools Answers : for asking and answering specific questions among your network Groups : for discussions among your peers and like-minded people you know
- This is because LinkedIn doesn’t display emails, so if you want to be found, put it in
- Note the public URL, make it some form of your name Check all the boxes that you want people to find you at
- Make and ask for them from your past clients
- Link Facebook to your Wordpress blog posts, so they automatically appear
- This is a big fear -- on Facebook you have the option to indicate all sorts of personal things, including your sexuality, your politics, and religion. Some of the answers are pretty whisical, as Buddy Brown is the name of this fellow’s dog. And I am not sure what the Republican Party of the Virgin Islands has to do with anything.
