Letters to a Young Librarian: I Tweet What I Tweet and That's All That I Tweet: Revisit... - 1 views

  • "Perhaps someone will judge me as unfit for a job because of an off-color tweet, or think me too political because of a blog post, or worry about my sanity because of my current obsession for all things Doctor Who. If that happens, then so be it. 'Life's too short' is a cliché because it's true. If someone doesn't want to hire me because of my eclectic interests, then why would I want to work for them?"

    An interesting article Margaret. I had been thinking the same thing...I sometimes post articles and whilst I do have at least a quick view, I don't always read through to the end. The author calls it the age of skimming. I guess there are multiple reasons for it: time constraints for one. The author mentions how the small size of a mobile phone screen also affects the ability of people to read articles online - and people are increasingly accessing information/social networking sites on mobile phones. So they just skim...Thanks for sharing!

    I love this. It is so true. It goes to show you need interesting titles, the important info straight up, pics and/or videos and articles that are not too long.

    Abstract: Social media technologies collapse multiple audiences into single contexts, making it difficult for people to use the same techniques online that they do to handle multiplicity in face-to-face conversation. This article investigates how content producers navigate 'imagined audiences' on Twitter. We talked with participants who have different types of followings to understand their techniques, including targeting different audiences,concealing subjects, and maintaining authenticity. Some techniques of audience management resemble the practices of 'micro-celebrity' and personal branding, both strategic self-commodification. Our model of the networked audience assumes a many-to-many communication through which individuals conceptualize an imagined audience evoked through their tweets.

An antidote to futility: Why academics (and students) should take blogging / social med... - 4 views

  •  
    Blogs are now an established part of the chattersphere/public conversation, especially in international development circles, but Duncan Green finds academic take-up lacking. Here he outlines the major arguments for taking blogging and social media seriously. It doesn't need to become another onerous time-commitment. Reading a blog should be like listening to the person talk, but with links.

    Yes indeed, if internet space was real space, the home of all of our tweets would be right above the Philippines and right below Mexico on the list of most populous countries.

Why Customer Reviews Crush Social Media Marketing Desk.com - 2 views

  • Many businesses tweet and post but few take an active role in customer reviews. That’s a shame since customer review sites offer a far more concentrated and targeted conversation. More so, sites like Yelp are quickly becoming the first stop for potential customers that might be interested in your business.
  • First, even reading your business reviews is a good first step. Online customer reviews are usually very candid and give you a glimpse of how the customers really feel about your business. This allows you to learn far more about your customers than simply asking them if they are satisfied since the anonymity and detachment of the web allows them to be brutally honest.
  • participate in the discussion. If a person posts a negative review, respond. Don’t fight and tell them why they are wrong, apologize that they weren’t satisfied and offer them a refund or a future discount. Countless Yelpers have been turned from haters to life-long customers because a business went out of their way to make sure they were completely satisfied.

Twitter for Libraries (and Librarians) - 0 views

  • he essence of Twitter is conversation. Libraries, however, tend to use it as a broadcast mechanism. Libraries on Twitter should encourage followers to interact with the library—ask questions, share links, re-Tweet interesting posts from others, and reply when people message you (those are prefaced with @ your account name). For professional development, look for conference coverage on Twitter. Given the many potential uses of Twitter for libraries—not to mention the likelihood that your patrons are already on it—it’s a great medium to embrace. And at just a few sentences a day, the lightweight format doesn’t require much time to make a big impact. The accounts above will give you a feel for library Twittering (for more libraries that Twitter, check out www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Twitter).

    Tweet Last week I was creating a slide for a workshop aimed at academic staff and research Postgrads, entitled Twitter for Improvers. On the slide I was attempting to explain what worked with hashtags, and what didn't - for example putting in punctuation causes the hashtag to break.
