Share some funny tweets: This tweet is funny: Fake senatorconroy: Reading #media140 tweets is like listening to people brag about how they were into Indy Band X before they were famous. More funny tweeple here: http://mashable.com/2009/11/01/funny-twitter-users/ A recent convert to social media I have only been active since 2007. I am becoming a true believer and trying hard not to be a self-righteous jerk. Ask for a show of hands for where you would come on the chart ie converted vs unconverted!
- Context: Talk about 23things/Library 2.0 - 2007 we did 23things - learning about Web2.0 technologies | last year we did plus 5 so we have been building capacity in our staff. I believe that 2009/10 it is the year to get strategic with our approach to social media! Ask: Who is using any of the tools they learnt about in 23 things? Personally? If so what? Professionally? If so what Handout post-its people to write questions and stick them on the wall. I love post-its so I am going to give out a bunch and if you have a question or suggestion or idea around social media I would love to hear them. You can text me questions or tweet them if you have a smart phone and I will check in in 1/2 hour to see what we have! Talk about how Museums/National Librar/Education etc… embracing social media.

- Don’t let the terminology put your off but libraries are evolving as our library users are produsers - producing content and engaging in online communities and using information (Axel Brun QUT). expectations of services are shifting and with our new library system we have an opportunity to think about how we provide our users with tools to produse. Emily Clasper NY state public libraries responsible for 48 libraries says... libraries tackling social media in a very disjointed way, which leads to a whole lot of disparate parts that aren’t really joined together. It’s great that your library has a couple of blogs, a wiki, a Twitter account, Delicious links, a mobile site, IM reference, and social bookmarking on your Web site, but how does that all fit together to further the overall mission of your institution? How do you integrate all of these components to create a really cohesive community... @eclasper libraries need to overcome our knowledge and digital divide (in staff) to engage with social media (Clasper, E 2009) culture of play

- Bruns & Bahnisch in social media for user-generated content social drivers – these are the things we need to consider
- We need to provide staff with guidelines or a least communicate that we are a culture/organisation that supports social networking. It’s about good manners Altitude social media policy - personal social networking is like personal phone calls keep to a minimum...
- What image are you presenting, Corporate identity v personal, Personal brand “ like impression management on steroids” said Joseph B. Walther (New York Times, 2008) Egosearching - alerts of Google | Google or Bing yourself regularly Do you have multiple digital identities? What do you do? David Armano presentation on Brand u.0 - multiple streams | leverage social brands | available on slideshare says.... Be ubiquitious - multiple streams Be social - how are you going to use each network Be interesting - share what you know Be remarkable - how will u stand out! Remark on something! Share! Be urself - authentic
- People choose to take risks based on what they assume the architectural affordances and norms of a space to be. I think that asking people to retreat into paranoia is completely unreasonable. Instead, i think we need to find ways of providing reasonable levels of protection and comfort, recognizing that there are always risks when you are still breathing (boyd, d 2006)
- Need services that integrate well with our users networked & mobile lives Users increasingly expect socialized and personalized environments Lorcan Dempsey calls parents at the party syndrome it requires tact operating in student networks!
- Social media is social - take Twitter which gets a bit of a battering but ... Ref: d boyd Many people who use it to be social and for maintaining peripheral social awareness - humans are social. It's good for society. They want to know what the people around them are thinking and doing and feeling, even when co-presence isn't viable to share their state of mind and status so that others who care about them feel connected. It can look alien to others who are looking in. It’s conversation online we have to perform the non-verbal gestures each and every aspect of our interactions. What comes out may look valueless, but, often, it's embedded in this broader ecology of social connectivity.
