Editor's Notes
- Facebook was the ubiquitous platform for years… now it’s becoming Twitter. “HASHTAG” is part of our lexicon now…. That’s a pound sign, dude.

- Who you are online should be a reflection of who you are to the world… especially in your CF role.
- Purpose – why are you going to use it? You can have multiple reasons, but decide on your purpose for how you will USE it. Be consistent – doesn’t mean you have to post a certain number of times per day, but also don’t go weeks without activity.
- I’m also really big on being positive. I know we aren’t always positive and certainly our work can be negative… but I really do try. Yes, I do complain about Mediacom and I think there are good reasons to engage with companies about customer service, etc. But griping about work, oddly personal messages, etc, reflects on who you are.
- Social media is your Swiss army knife. Multi-faceted, lots of tools… can be super useful and really helpful, sometimes things get sharp, so be careful.
