Profiles show the personal and private culture
A person who shares
'status updates' and
photos,. They're often
'friends' with people
known to them. They
showcase personal
interests and history.
Everything about the

personal, not
professional way.
Recent research

21% of their time on
other's profiles.

public follow status
updates that you

17. Facebook The critical mass
Pages show the professional and conversational culture
A page can show an
organisation, group

yet casual and
conversational way.
People with 'profiles'
can 'like' the page.
'Status updates'
appear in those
people's news feeds.
18. Facebook The critical mass
The 'newsfeed' stream of updates from 'friends' and 'likes'
The main feed of 'news',
which is the 'status updates'
of profiles of 'friends' and
pages of 'likes'. This is the
page people land on when

However, recent research
shows people only spend
27% of their time in the
newsfeed.

know who don't follow you.

people.
● Build your followers and extend the reach of
your content.
35. BUT, hashtags are not for every tweet
● Don't put a hash symbol in front of every
keyword.
● Don't make up a hashtag if...
○ the tweet is a one off on a topic, issue or event
○ you haven't ruled out that a hashtag already exists
○ the topic is unlikely to gain momentum in
conversation and debate
