Presently, I am encouraging the use of wiki's for project management, emergency communications, simple business communications, and class-based collaboration activities. What else do you think wiki's should be used to accomplish for businesses?
Definitely sounds like resistant management and just general social media fear. People are intrigued by it, keep reading about how they SHOULD be using it, even probably ostensibly want to use it....but when you get right down to it, if these are ...
Over the past 2 weeks, I have exchanged conversation with a local government agency on Facebook on how to engage the general public using social media. Everytime I get a telephone call of interest. I explain to them(ideas) on how social media can ...
It is great you thought about your actions before taking action! I run into alot of businesses or IT people who would delete the thread and move on. They would never address the issue or question.
It's a good question. My company recently had an issue where a competitor was comment spamming one of our social media pages. Normally I wouldn't delete a whole comment stream, but since these were spam comments I just deleted them. I wish there w...
I think it's important to have a triage plan in place in general, but also specific to any hot issues that you anticipate might generate negative feedback. Identifying which individuals are equipped to answer specific questions or deal with certai...
As social media specialists, what basic crisis management techniques have you created or put in place for present clients if they run into problems or community negativity issues?
Do you encourage your clients to be social media broadcasters or influencers?
As practitioners of social media, we have just started to scratch the surface of determining ROI or ROP. During the 3rd week of August in Tucson, AZ; we had a street being re-opened in the downtown area. Very few residents attended the re-opening,...
I, too, tried. But the non-profit really didn't get that I had a particular expertise I was looking to use and get deeper skills in. Instead, they seemed to want me to take on a more significant role in the non-profit. Basically, I offered to help...
I deal with participants or individuals who believe in the push and tell marketing techniques. They wish to do this with the social media and don't understand why nobody responds to their "advertising". These are the same individuals who do not un...
OK, social media specialists! I realize I could be preaching to the choir with this question..Are you a broadcaster or an influencer with your social media tactics?

Thanks for the thorough response! I will act on your guidance! It's good to know that I can constantly read about social media and become a professional instead of just looking like a desperate wanna be!
Happy Holidays to you and your family as well!

- Hi Will,
I checked out your website and it looks great! It's very useful and practical in content!
I'm learning about how I can be a good social media employee (either a manager of a community or a consultant). Do you have any pointers for me beyond the basics of knowing how to use basical social media apps? I'm an educated media user that wants to work in social media. I'm trying to collect as much information as possible about the process. I'm a writer with a lot of ideas and creativity. How do I prepare myself for a company in need of a social media employee to hire me?
Please let me know how I can help you!
Take care,
Sana
