Transcript of Social Media for Community Organizations
What is Social Media?
A working definition:
Social media is any site or application that allows users
to provide and direct the content through sharing,
collaboration, and interaction
Some Examples:
• Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn (social networks)
• Flickr (photos)
• YouTube (video)
• Blogs
• Twitter (micro-blogging)
Social media uses technology to connect people through their shared interests
just computers and technology

about more than

People organize themselves in groups
Those groups need

I became passionate about social media some time around 2005. It was then that I discovered blogging as a means of reaching people as a REALTOR for Strong Team REALTORS. Ever since then, I have been committed to exploring social media and its benefits for businesses and communities. My goal is to share those benefits with as many people as possible so that they can take advantage of them to achieve their own goals.
For the last few years, Iʼve been able to travel all over the country meeting with and speaking to real estate professionals; helping them use social media to enrich their businesses and relationships. This lead to my appointment as the Vice-Chair for the National Association of REALTORS Business Systems and Information Technology Forum and a position as Community Manager for Inman News, the countryʼs leading real estate industry news organization. As the Community Manager for Inman News, Iʼve had the opportunity to put into practice a lot of the strategies and techniques I talk about in a corporate setting.
If you would like me to speak to your group or organization, Iʼm happy to help. If you want to get to know me a little better, or need to get in touch, here are some spots on the Internet where you can find me:
