This chapter discusses youth creative production through new media. It explores how youth engage in online creative communities and collaborations, and how they improve their skills through feedback. The chapter also examines how youth gain audiences and recognition for their work by sharing personal media and customizing their online profiles. As young people's skills advance, they may specialize in a genre and collaborate with others on more complex media projects, driven by the desire for validation and reputation online.

PR for 'thons: a primer

jacksonwightman

The document provides tips for obtaining media coverage for events and causes. It recommends using social media to engage target media, empowering event participants to obtain press through sharing their stories, and capitalizing on visual media and exclusives that can offer multiple angles on the same story. Rather than relying on old PR tools, the document suggests listening to media needs and finding angles that address those needs in order to get coverage for crowded fields and media's declining capacity.

Social Media

Hamed Hasan Chowdhury

Social media has had widespread impacts. It allows for direct communication with large audiences and creation of viral content which can help build brands. For businesses, social media provides opportunities for low-cost marketing and promotion. It has also impacted students and society. While it enables easy communication and group study, it can waste students' time and spread rumors. Overall, social media should be used responsibly and students need to be conscious of managing their time well.

Social Media for Non-Profits

Mike McCready

The document discusses how social media is changing communication and impacting non-profits. It notes that social media is about conversations, not tools or yelling the loudest. It allows for storytelling, relationships, and word of mouth. Statistics show many Canadians use social media. It also highlights how social media has helped non-profits with fundraising, empowering individuals, blending online and offline efforts, and recognizing supporters. While there are risks, non-profits can mitigate them with policies, social media teams, training, and planning. The key is integrating social media into efforts and not expecting overnight success.

Women make up the majority of users on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. While men are more likely to use LinkedIn for professional networking, women tend to use social media to build genuine relationships and connections with others. They spend more time customizing their profiles and are more likely to drive content viral. However, women are also often portrayed as commodities and subjected to stereotyping on social media.

Social Network Analysis

bal13

Social network analysis examines online services that facilitate building social networks among people. Key aspects include user profiles, social links between users, and additional services. Most are web-based, allowing sharing of ideas, activities, and interests. Case studies show that social media campaigns require contingency plans if conversations go poorly, focusing discussions on non-polarizing topics, and allowing some user control without losing brand control. Collaboration across social platforms and sharing engaging content are also important lessons.

Social media refers to media designed for social interaction using highly accessible publishing techniques. It includes blogs, microblogging, social networking, social bookmarking, wikis, and more.

An example is Parker Hannifin, which implemented demand-based pricing and saw profits rise from 7% to 21%. Price optimization integrates these models to understand customer willingness to pay and allow flexible pricing based on factors like demand, competitors, and customer attributes.

Social media as participatory culture

عفة عزتي رسلان

Social media allows for participatory culture where users can act as both consumers and producers by contributing content. Examples include editing Wikipedia, uploading photos to Facebook, and creating videos for YouTube. Participatory culture enables digital labor where people make online content for free but get paid through large followings. It also allows for social media capitalism where platforms themselves make money through ads and help other companies profit from user data and promotions. Social media increases connectivity while allowing easy sharing of opinions and ideas.

Social media is a powerful marketing tool that allows companies to reach millions of potential customers. It differs from traditional marketing in that customers can interact with marketing messages and produce their own content. Major social networks like Facebook and Twitter will continue growing in importance. Some key advantages of social media marketing are low costs, wide reach, and the ability to engage customers interactively. However, measuring effectiveness can be difficult as target audiences are not always homogeneous. Successful social media strategies focus on attracting attention, converting visitors into customers, and transforming past successes into new attraction points.

Editor's Notes

Hi! My name is Brittany Cook. I did my trade book review on the Secrets of Social Media Marketing by Paul Gillin.
Paul Gillin is the Editor-in-chief and executive editor of technology weekly Computerworld for 15 years and also the Editor-in-chief TechTarget-one of the most successful new media entities on the internet. He has written two books: The New Influencers (2007) and Social Media Marketing. He writes a regular column for BtoB magazine and Ziff-Davis Enterprise on innovation.Gillin is a research fellow and a member of the advisory board of the Society for New Communications Research andco-chair the social media cluster for the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council.
Gillin defines social media as “To use the wisdom of crowds to connectinformation in a collaborative manner…they depend on interactions between people as the discussion and integration of words to build shared meaning”Social media is about people sharing opinions.It is important to know which types of social media to use when you create your marketing strategy. Also, the type of social media used depends on what you plan to market. The use of interaction between employees and community is also important to consider when you begin your strategy. Your employees need to know how to use the tools because they will be the ones talking with the public community.
Here are some basic types of social media tools that can be utilized to start your strategy. They are all popular social networking sites currently. These include: Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Wordpress, Blogger, and Blogspot.
The book covered a lot of starter information. I would like to know more about which types of social media were the most successful. By studying how different companies have used social media tools, we will know more about type of tool people will respond to more frequently. I would also like to know what catches peoples’ eye the most. For example, what types of colors, pictures, formats, fonts, etc.
I was surprised about the importance of how different each conversation is used on a different social media tool. For example, if you wanted to tell people about an event or new product on Twitter, you would direct the statement to the general public. However, if you are telling someone about the same topic, who commented on your blog, you would make it a more personal conversation.
The book provided a good basic information that could be used as a start tool in your social media strategy. It also provided how to measure the results of how successful the websites you used were, which I think would be extremely important for continuing success and feedback. It is a good start in social media marketing and will help you jump-start your strategy today.I would recommend this book if you areinterested in learning basic information about using social media tools to market.I would not recommend this book if you want to know more than just the basics of using social media marketing.
Thank you for viewing my presentation. I hope you enjoyed it. Contact me if you have any questions or comments.
