Why a 22-year-old shouldn't be handling your social media - 1 views

shared by Mary Zajac on 25 Sep 12 - No Cached

Mary Zajac on 25 Sep 12

For those of us born before 1990, the rigours of social media can seem like a chore. Though most business owners would agree that a presence on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest is a necessity in today's competitive market, the question still looms: Who's going to do all the tweeting and posting and pinning?

Interesting article. They may have written the headline just to catch one's attention, but I don't agree that it has to do with your age. I think whomever gets the position of handling the company's social media should be an articulate writer, have strong business etiquette, and a strong understanding of the company's objectives and corporate social responsibility. This can be either a 22-year old or a 50-year old. I don't think age is the question here. Perhaps the headline writer had limited space to work with : )

The Circa app for news just launched and I'm already pretty obsessed with it. For my personal life I love this because it is a quick easy way to catch up on daily news. From a communication perspective it makes us rethink what is essential to a news story. Instead of lengthy (or even short) news stories, Circa packages up facts, quotes and photos into a very easy to read format. This app speaks to our constant need for information.

Recollect essentially saves your entire digital social media trail so you never lose any post, photo, check-in or anything else all in one handy dandy place. It's like a massive dropbox for your entire social media history. What does this say about us as users that we can't stand the thought of losing anything online. This massively gives me the creeps.

Watch this beautiful video of Nuit Blanche 2012. It makes me regret not going this year. This got me thinking about video as a medium to build brand value. How could Nuit Blanche use this video (or video in general) to capture the imagination of Torontonians and get more people out on the street and enjoy this event?
