A moment of reflection:What is my key Facebook Takeaway?What will I do tomorrow?
A Great Place to Start!
LinkedIn was officially launched on May 5, 2003 -- five founders invited 350 of their contacts to join their LinkedIn profiles
Executives from all Fortune 500 companies are on LinkedIn
81% of business-to-business marketers use LinkedIn
LinkedIn is currently the largest online Business Networking platform in the world
Nearly half of all members are outside the U.S.
LinkedIn users have highest annual income of all the major social media platforms
Note: Over 85% of employers who are looking to hire, acknowledge using LinkedIn during their process.
What’s The Trend
Date Reported # LinkedIn Members
December 2003 81,000
December 2004 1,600,000
December 2005 4,000,000
December 2006 8,000,000
September 2007 15,000,000
December 2008 33,000,000
May 2009 55,000,000
February 2010 60,000,000
March 2011 100,000,000
Useless detail: Ana-Marie was member number 914,566
Status Updates
What You Need to Know:
Status Updates (140 character messages) keep your name, agency and your activities in front of your connections – without any extra effort from you
Can be sent from your cell phone!
Share insights, make requests, announce achievements, send event invitations, solicit help, and give or receive advice – immediately
Status updates can appear on the LinkedIn homepages of your direct connections, where they can comment or respond.
Updates are visible to your connections, your entire network, or all LinkedIn members (depending on your account settings).
Receive expert advice or suggestions from members of your network
Starting/leading a group is easier than ever imaginableNote: You can link other applications to your LinkedIn profile – SlideShare, WordPress, Twitter, Polls, etc.
Go To Work!
• Fill in complete profile• Add “Searchable” content
• Post status update• Comment on the status update of a
connection• Check your network stats• Search for a friend/colleague• Send a request for connection
Available Info
High Visibility
Low Visibility
Access to people and information matters!: For informing the public, funding opportunities, grant management, purchasing, research, recommendations, advice, volunteers, job opportunities, project buy-in, etc.
Concept: with 6 Degrees of Separation everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth - the “small world phenomenon”
LinkedIn allows you to see your degrees of separation, allows you to know your network in ways your offline methods can’t
The more robust your personal network, the fewer degrees between you and the people you want to know
Online, visible networks have benefits beyond offline networks – portability, speed, trust, durability, sustainability
Note: With social media, you can be better known, networked and noticed – without leaving your desk!
6 Degrees of Separation
Making Connections
Make a Group
Integrating/Leveraging Platforms
Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011 74
Go To Work!
• Help a friend/colleague: Give a recommendation• Find & Join a group• Post a message to a group• Start a group• Attach apps to your profile
What would it mean for your career to be connected to the leaders of your industry?
What would it mean for our collective effectiveness to be connected via LinkedIn and other social media
platforms, as well as text messaging?
Note: Just using status updates can leave us exponentially more prepared for emergencies!
What would it mean for YOU to be in the most connected and informed industry in the country?

“Our board was not feeling optimistic, and we were forced to reinvent ourselves.” @Ev
Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011
Twitter Basics
• Basic Message – 140 characters including spaces – is called a “Tweet”
• Your sent messages are available to anyone (unless you lock your site) – and are sent directly to your “followers” stream
• Messages from the people you “Follow” are sent to your stream
• Individual users have account names (@FriesenVA, @dcstpaul, @MsDuctTape) – identified by “@NAME”
80
Twitter is the RUSHING river of Social Media!
You create your own stream.
Twitter Apps are the tour guides, cruise directors, etc.Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011
• Elections in Iran• Attacks in Mumbai• H1N1, Whooping Cough• Haiti Earthquake• Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill• Japan EQ/tsunami/nuclear• Death of Osama bin Laden
Benefits:• Faster than traditional media• Tailored (user picks sources)• Cell phone accessible• Easy, few skills required• Massive public acceptance• More available dollars than Gov
*People you NEED to hear from…are Tweeting81
Twitter is a Listening & Response Tool
@ReallyVirtual: Uh oh, now I’m the guy who liveblogged the Osama raid without knowing it. May 1, 9:41 am
Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011
Listening on Twitter?
• 15 Billion messages sent
• 140 characters or less
• Millions of individual broadcasting networks with custom-built audiences
82Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011
Twitter Starting Point - Listen
• Counter-intuitive – ALWAYS listen first
• Follow 5 new people – see who they “listen” to, then five more, then five more – watch the conversation happen
• Try a search – Search.Twitter.com
• Read the conversation – who is saying what? Follow some interesting folks.
Originally Adapted from http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/5_simple_twitter_listening_tips_every_marketer.php
83Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011
• Search for terms that matter to you
• Search.Twitter.com• See what
happens…• See who is
talking…
Basic Searching
84Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011
Search a “hashtag”
85Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011
Twitter – Hashtags
What Should You Listen For?
• What are people talking about?
• What’s being said in your community?
• Who is dominating the conversation?
• Who is responding?
• What’s the tone?
• Is there a voice missing?
• Is there information missing?
• What value can you add?
86Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011
Now…Go to Work
• Use search features to find topic, hashtag or someone you like respect
• Look through the people they follow – evaluate a few tweets from a few of them
• IF you find something they have said you really like – Retweet it
• Bonus points for editing, reposting, and crediting tweeter.

What Makes a Story?• Controversy. The worse it is, the better for the media.• Conflict. Between groups of people, industries, issues or ideas.• Problem/Solution Dynamic. If you want to talk about a problem, YOU’D
BETTER tell them a solution.• Timeliness & competitive advantage (Is it an exclusive to that paper or TV
station?).• Access to & reliability of sources – often just knowing there is someone
who can educate a reporter on an issue is reason enough for them to feel comfortable enough to do a story.
• People/Personalities. Large mistakes by little people or Small mistakes by big people.
Author’s Note: These next three slides come from Media 101 presentation by FCP – but are instructive for us
Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011 90
What Makes a Story?• Dramatic Human Interest. Include the stories of real people, their
triumphs, tragedies, and anecdotes.• Trends. Stories that suggest new opinions, behavior patterns and
attitudes. Three is a trend; find at least three examples to assert that a new trend is emerging.
• New Announcement. “Unprecedented” or “groundbreaking” or “first-ever”. Reporters are only interested in new news, not old news. Make it fresh.
• Localize national story (and vice versa). Take a nationally breaking story and emphasize its local impact
Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011 91
What Makes a Story?• Anniversaries/ Milestones. One year later, 5 or 10. • Fresh angle on old story. Take old story add fresh twist.• Stories. Individuals, community leaders, or galvanizing spokespersons who
may become news themselves. • Special event. A huge conference, rally, or gathering. Frame event to
capture the issue and importance.• Rapid Response. React & OWN news others have made.• Celebrity. If you have a celebrity on your side, someone known in your
community, make sure they are included in the story.• Strange Bedfellows. Have unlikely allies
come together in solidarity over your issue? Highlight it in your story.
Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011 92
Mechanics to Tweeting
• Unique Info - Are you first? The only? The most trusted to share it?• Replies (@twittername) - More personal replies = higher impact • Direct replies (d twittername) Only if you follow each other, direct
replies are not in the public timeline, helps build deeper bonds, shows that a real person is listening
• Nods to jobs well done…• MT – a “modified Tweet” – crediting content but not full retweet• HT – a “hat tip” to someone who pointed something out
• Announcements/News - if it’s interesting, helpful, beautiful - tweet it!
• Shout Outs - @dcstpaul Totally ROCKS & @fullcourtpress is awesome! Thanks to #UCBCHL for sponsoring CARD’s social media presentations
• Praise – Make friends by telling them they are awesome.
93Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011
Twitter – Take Note
@ShaneGoldmacher, LATimes “I would say that Twitter can be
most effective to cover live, as they are happening events.”
“Generally, the most effective way to gain followers/a following is to find unique, timely and accurate information and disseminate it.”
94
Some Twitter Uses:
• Rapid dissemination of info• Rumor control• Push traffic to other sites• Monitor public sentiment• Tracking/surveillance• Acknowledge/thank supporters

107Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011
Some next steps for us…
• Pre-tweets – can we send out some common messaging?
• Re-tweets – can we try to retweet when peers send tweets?
• Tweet Days – can we work with our allies?
• Test a Hashtag – #(you name it)
Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011 108
Some next steps for you…
• Keep listening – and then listen more
• Try stuff – tweet, see if anyone retweets & learn
• Use a tool – to help manage the data flow
Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011 109
Status Updates provide immediate value “I am OK”, “Bay Bridge down”, “Free Vaccines available at Oakland Coliseum, today only”
Profile information allows for faster, more effective/efficient networking, etc.
Social Media monitors the immediate pulse/vibe of public opinion/thought
Recommendations help distinguish between “self-identified”, and “community recognized” expertise and value
Groups, Q&A, and online postings accelerate group learning, avoid waste, leverage resources (no need to experience every problem yourself!)
Social media platforms adopt and adapt to new opportunities quickly – much faster than government or other larger agencies can
Billions of people across the globe are already using these platforms
Summary
Note: Reaching/serving a connected, united public is faster, easier and less expensive! Encourage social media use for the people you serve!

Record It! Flip Video Cameras• $75 refurb /$150 new/ <$200 HD• Easy to use, upload, share, promote
a cause, document an exercise, etc.• What to record:
– Safety tours– Trainings– Disaster procedures– Property– Damage– Staff, volunteers, clients– Staff orientations– SHAMELESS promotion
113Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011
Taking Video – Making it greatTaking Video• Framing: The closer the shot the better. Faces are great. Don’t be afraid to get up
close and personal with people. But DO NOT USE the ZOOM.
• Background: If you have a choice between a white background and anything else, pick anything else!
• Lighting: Try to shoot with your back to the light source.
• Fluidity: The goal here is to reduce jerkiness. Think of your body as a tripod. The more solid the base (you), the more solid the shot.
• Audio: The audio capabilities of a flip camera are usually very limited, so get close – especially if you have a lot of background noise.
Other helpful tips for filming an interview: • Ask the subject not to look in the camera, but to keep eye contact with you and carry
on the conversation as naturally as possible.
• Frame the shot with the head and upper chest showing and with the subject off-center to one side or the other.
• If you can, have a friend hold the camera while you stand off screen and ask the questions. This gives a natural feel and lets you focus on engaging the interviewee. 114Social Media 101 UCBCHL November 2011

Summary
Note: Reaching/serving a connected, united public is faster, easier and much less expensive! Encourage social media use for the people you serve!
LinkedIn: World’s largest ongoing business networking environment; professional networks and affiliations; job/contract posting; keep your name and projects in front of your industry partners; status updates.
Twitter: Your stream from a rushing river; listen quickly, morsels of information; monitor public sentiments, movements; repurpose existing information; no media outlet is faster than the people right there.
Facebook: The coffee shop/bar/church social of your choosing; WILDLY popular; PICTURES; share your values; get public support/validation “Thumbs Up!”, “Like”. Never before has your thumb been so powerful.
Videos: Preferred medium for fast assimilation of information; video safety tours; make training easy; virtually free (many cell phones now take videos); easy to use, upload, share; rapid explosion of video sharing sites.
WordPress: Create micro-sites and blogs; apps galore; removes barriers to entry; fast and easy to setup and update; audience engagement.
HootSuite: Manage multiple social media platforms from one interface; one click to update LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook; schedule posts in advance; give several people access to share responsibilities
NOTE: Did we mention these sites are free, Free, FREE!
