Olivier Blanchard. Social Media ROI (2011)One ofthe fundamental reasons why social media has been so readily embraced bythe general public is that it helps connect people with each other in ways that arevaluable,meaningful, convenient,andon an unprecedented scale.In order to understand the true power ofthe social web,you have to lookinto the nature ofhumanity itself:We are social creatures.We crave social interactions.We love to belong to social groups,listen to stories,share experiences,andcontribute something ofvalue to the groups to which we belong.Thirty thousandyears ago,we gathered with our tribe around the campfire.Today,separated bythousands ofmiles,complicated schedules,and busy lives,we instead gather aroundour social networks to fulfill the same needs.The technology and the world aroundus may have changed,but we haven’t.
What do people doon social media all day? They talk to each other and sharethoughts,opinions,information,photos,videos,podcasts,blog posts,articles,data,resources,and whatever they can get their hands on.At its core,what peopledo on the social web is communicateand interact.Social media is not particularly complicated:It is a set ofeasy-to-useplatforms and technologies that allow people to talk with other people. You can think of the social media as the pipes, the infrastructure that lets people communicate and interact. Don’t get scared by the complexity or variety of the pipes (channels), what you should master is social communications that “flows” or happens inside.
“Doing social media” is often perceived as setting up your accounts and posting. Not necessarity. You might just be listening/monitoring to what people are saying about your institution in the cyberspace. Imagine there is a sea of conversations mentioning your university in positive, negative or neutral ways on FB, Twitter, blogs, etc. Start by exploring this (search engines, Google Alerts, search on SM platforms). At least it’s a good way to start. Start by learning how to use social media to listen, observe and learn everything you can about the types of topics of conversation taking place on the social web that may shape the future of your organization.Chances are that there are SM accounts set up by people or groups from your uni (staff, student groups, departments). You can engage in conversations, comment on blogs and forums without setting up institutional SM accounts.So, research the landscape before diving into the waters of SM.
Twitter is an information network. On Twitter, anyone can read, write and share messages of up to 140 characters. These messages, or Tweets, are public and available to anyone interested in them. [+sms joke]Twitter users subscribe to your messages by following your account. Followers receive every one of your messages in their timeline, a feed of all the accounts they have subscribed to.When you combine messages that are quick to write, easy to read, public, opt-in, and accessible anywhere, you have a powerful, real-time way of communicating.
A powerful, real-time way of communicating: the extreme of it can be demonstrated by so-called Twitter revolutions. Unofficial information channel which is hard to control. Twitter is an indispensable tool in crisis communication.
An imaginary route of a Tweet.
Technically speaking, it’s all text and/or links. Links can lead to more information, including photos, videos, podcasts. Different platforms and services for posting photos and videos. My experience shows that photos are very popular and get many more clicks than links to websites or blogs. Real-time info from campus events, etc.
Also mention: Direct Messages
Universities Week in the UK (June 2011); Tweeting a Day in the life of a college; building a greater sense of community among Imperial’s regular tweeters and connect with new ones; it was important that the entire Imperial community could participate and read the content being generated, rather than just those already engaged with Twitter. Success: over 600 tweets with the hashtag, trending topic in London at one point during the day.
You can embed your Twitter newsfeed on a website or blog. The widget design can be changed easily to match your website design.
Official Twitter stats from August 8, 2011Facebook: more than 750 million active users (August 9, 2011)
You can also use Twitter personally to follow and interact with your international colleagues, to follow industry news, to listen to your uni’s international community, etc. You can follow individual users or create lists.
Ideas for lists: partner unis, university staff, international community, etc.
