Twitter• 20 – 200 Million Users

• “I (still) don’t get it”– Ah-Ha!
• Follow 30 and 1/3 follow you back
• Lots to Learn– Terms (hashtag, retweet…)– Protocols (when to retweet, what’s a list)
25
26
Twitter• Surprise! More Tweets = More Engagement
– Little difference between posting once a day and once per week
– Major change when up to 5 tweets per day• Why?
– Participating in industry wide conversations– Responding to tweets– Sharing links and information (about things other than your
own organization)– Little self-promotion

3131
Facebook StatsAverage user:• Logs in daily• Spends 55 minutes• Has 130 friends• “Likes” 7 Pages per month

over 900% between 2009 and 2010)
32
Facebook Rules
• Most Shared Content
3333
Pages, Groups, Profiles, Community Pages?
• Pages: Maintained by authorized representatives of a business, brand, celebrity, or organization
• Groups: Allow direct communication about a specific subject – not “official pages”
• Profiles: Are for people…
• Community Pages: Built around topics, causes or experiences
3434
Community Pages
35
Get an Official Page
…and dump the group or profile
Why? – More than one identity is confusing– Pages have tools for businesses (ads, data,
admins, news feed, urls)– Your organization is not a person– Groups and Profiles are limited by numbers
35
36
Profiles
Any business using a Profile is in violation of Facebook’s terms and that account
can be deleted without warning.
Lose it now or lose it later…
37
Groups• Groups are changing
• Groups are small
• Pages are for branding
• Groups and Pages have much more defined roles…
38
Pages vs. Groups
Pages…– your organization’s official Facebook presence – hidden administrators– data (Insights)– ads– open (can’t be closed or secret)– messaging on newsfeed– vanity urls
39
Groups vs. Pages• Groups
– share things with a group of people in a private space
– default setting is closed– group chat– shared docs– all posts are shared (by email and Facebook
notification)– posts via email– collaboration not branding
40
