Science journalists in the United States are experimenting with social media as reporting tools, publishing platforms, and research avenues. I presented this talk to science communicators in Oslo, Norway, on March 24, 2010. We discussed strategies to make use of social media more effective and efficient, and how social media might evolve in the near future as a communications tool.

Hinweis der Redaktion
- Thanks for coming! Our presentation is largely based on two panels we attended at ONA: 1. Top tech trends you haven't heard of (by Amy Webb, a reporter-turned-consultant who advises media companies looking to utilize new tech) 2. Using Twitter for Live Blogging  We'll talk a bit about these different technologies - and focus on things like Twitter more at the end - and talk a little about possible ways we could employ the trends here.   Tech guys, speak up in regard to what we're doing now to implement/consider some of these technologies.  We've also got some handouts, which we'll pass out later.Â
- It’s all about Twitter now: its usage has increased by 485% over the past 7 months. Twitter allows you to keep in constant contact with others and get up-to-the-minute updates using your mobile device. Yammer - similar idea; USN has a feed as does lots of other places. It's good for sharing notes on what projects people are working on. Lifestreaming has its disadvantages: You can sign up for Spokeo to track Amazon purchases, flickr photos, MySpace messages...   And it's not always used well... One colleague agrees with this: "Twitter is, for the most part, an unnecessary distraction in an already information-overloaded age."  USN uses: Live blogging? Others?
- Explosions can be bad – or good.

- Why is that? Science is a specialty beat, editors don’t like science when it makes them feel dumb, and ads don’t sell that well against science
- I am blogging for MSM.
- Ed Yong is a London based PIO who uses Twitter as a microblogging platform, and also has his own blog, Not Exactly Rocket Science.
- Sexy videos for science: Biochemistry grad student Erika Ebbel shows the “gown walk” that helped her win the Miss Massachusetts beauty pageant.
