The document discusses using social media in government to have more authentic conversations with stakeholders, customers, and colleagues. It notes that many teens use social media daily and outlines how social media allows for profiles, self-publishing, networking, sharing, commenting, and reusing content. The vision is to educate, enable, engage, and promote using commitment, technology, and follow up while focusing on content over platforms and protecting sensitive information. Evaluation and sharing lessons learned is also recommended.
This document discusses the importance of social media and developing a digital strategy. It provides tips for using social media successfully such as ensuring the cause or purpose is clear, listening to your community, choosing the right platform to meet their needs, and offering value. Networks should be used to drive information to the public and create compelling social experiences where members interact. Creating niche networks focused on your brand can develop rich social experiences on official websites. Successful social networks depend on a clear promise, usable tools, and clear expectations for participation. Regular engagement is important for social media campaigns and integrating people in your brand through participation and crowdsourcing.
Have you wondered why a newspaper boy does not come to your street on his bicycle? In the 20th century when the world is technologically advanced, social media has dominated our lives.
This document discusses how to effectively use social media by focusing on voice, spaces, faces, tools, and planning. It emphasizes determining your organization or individual voice, choosing appropriate social media spaces like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, understanding your target audience, utilizing tools to manage your social media presence, and developing a social media plan. The overall message is that to get the most out of social media, one needs to strategically consider these various elements of how to engage and connect through different social platforms.

Social media is about building relationships, not technology or content. It requires engaging with others rather than just posting. While many people are on social media, success requires focusing on the network with your target audience rather than trying to use every platform. Building trust by revealing your authentic self is more important than expertise or the number of networks used. Success takes ongoing time and effort to understand what works through trial and error.
Social media is online tools like blogs, wikis and sites used to share photos and videos that allow people to publish and share content. The individual is now central to social media which has implications for companies that used to hide behind PR departments. Tracking social media usage shows adoption of tools like Twitter increasing drastically over time. For businesses, social media requires responding to comments, building relationships, reviewing comments and leveraging tools like Twitter in real-time. JetBlue is an example of a company that joined Twitter early and now has over 1 million followers that provide feedback. Growing social media skills involves following websites, groups and blogs focused on social media marketing.

Social media is a broad term that describes various online activities that integrate technology, social interaction, and sharing content like words, pictures, videos, and audio. Some key points about social media include:
- It allows for instant messaging, social networking, sharing photos, videos, and more.
- Popular social media platforms have massive user bases, with billions of videos and millions of Wikipedia entries and blog posts, including many related to boating safety.
- Social media can help organizations build trust with consumers by becoming part of the conversation and establishing themselves as a reliable source of information.
A presentation given to PSCP executive committee providing an overview of the 4 major social media sites (facebook, Google+, LinkedIn and Twitter) and describing next steps in an adoption.
Buddy System is a location-based mobile app created by Izzy Saadeh in 2018 that allows users aged 16+ to connect with others near them based on shared interests and activities to form platonic relationships in groups. The app aims to help users expand their social lives and friend groups. A testimonial from Stacy Anne Smith of BuzzFeed praises how the app has changed social interaction in a healthy way.
OMAC is an outreach program founded by Gerald "GEO" Gibson that uses coaching and mentoring to create self-awareness in teens and young adults. It aims to break cycles of generational issues through respect, discipline, accountability and repetition. OMAC serves youth, adults, incarcerated individuals, and those on probation across Kentucky. Gibson created the program while in prison and dedicates his time to expanding its reach. OMAC uses social media like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to share its mission of helping underprivileged youth access opportunities and overcome challenges.
Social media refers to virtual communities and networks where people interact and share information. Some of the earliest forms of social media include cave wall paintings from ancient times. Modern social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube allow individuals to publish information more cheaply and accessibly compared to traditional media. While social media can help facilitate information sharing and connection, overuse has disadvantages like reduced in-person social engagement and effects on attention span and eyesight. Moderation is important to gain benefits while avoiding negative impacts.
The document discusses developing a social media engagement plan to achieve goals from marketing campaigns. An engagement plan is a roadmap that outlines what to achieve, how to get there, and a timeline. It should include benchmarking best practices, analyzing business problems, identifying audience targets and messaging, illustrating opportunities, optimizing social channels, defining roles and responsibilities, and reporting metrics. The plan also discusses creating buzz, promoting messages, and encouraging user participation and dialogue.

This document discusses how organizations can use social media to enhance communication and outreach. It recommends establishing a consistent social media presence using multiple channels like blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc. and linking content across channels. This helps organizations monitor discussions, engage supporters, and respond to crises by leaving "breadcrumbs" of content that direct people to your messaging. Metrics show social media allows for immediate feedback. The takeaways are that social media should be part of an overall communications strategy and that establishing an online presence takes time but readies an organization to engage when needed.
Social media has become deeply ingrained in daily life, with the average user spending 145 minutes per day on platforms. There are now over 3.78 billion social media users worldwide who use platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok for various purposes. However, heavy social media use has been linked to negative mental health impacts like increased rates of suicide and depression among teens. While social media has economic benefits, overreliance on curated online images may promote unrealistic standards and negatively impact happiness. Moderation and limiting screen time are suggested to avoid letting platforms control users' lives.
The document outlines the key activities involved in implementing a successful social media strategy:
1) Building awareness of social media and its benefits among stakeholders.
2) Inventorying the organization's current social media activities and presence.
3) Creating policies to guide appropriate social media use.
4) Providing training to employees on how to engage effectively on social media.
5) Monitoring social media for mentions of the organization and addressing issues that arise.
This document discusses the mindful use of social media by government agencies. It notes that social media is meant for social interaction and turning communication into dialogues. It cautions against using social media as a substitute for traditional outreach or without a plan. When used properly as part of an overall strategy, social media can be a valuable tool, especially in emergencies, but it should not replace traditional methods of communication.

The document discusses ways for a local government organization in Mosman, Australia to make friends and build connections in their community. It suggests being accessible to community members, listening to their needs, and collaborating with community groups. It also advocates using social media and networking to strengthen relationships and share information in a transparent way. The goal is to better engage residents and help the council understand community perspectives.
The document summarizes workshops held by Leeton Shire Council aimed at improving the online presence of local tourism operators. The workshops provided information on free online tools and services but did not result in new tourism websites as hoped. However, the workshops strengthened relationships with the community and increased digital skills. Two local businesses credited the workshops with helping them become tourism award finalists. The council plans to continue the workshops to engage more local businesses and further build digital capacity in the region.
Pittwater Council in Sydney, Australia has been gradually adopting social media tools to engage with the local community. They started by introducing analytics to monitor their website, then expanded to Twitter, Google alerts and groups. More recently, the General Manager began authoring a blog and they plan to launch a Facebook page in October. The council chose social media to improve their reputation, engage staff and residents, and further their strategic plan goals. Key lessons learned are to get manager buy-in first, don't expect immediate success, get expert advice if possible, and launch tools gradually with a champion to guide each new initiative.
This document provides tips for encouraging a local government organization to engage more with the digital world through their website and social media presence. It recommends starting social media monitoring to raise awareness of digital opportunities. Staff should be trained to contribute online content and monitor platforms. All online content should be integrated together. Website engagement should be regularly measured and reported to prove its value in growing services and traffic. A shared digital strategy with goals and timeline is needed to guide the organization's journey to becoming more webactive.

The document discusses redesigning the templates for local-e, a website platform for local councils. It goes through the following key points:
1. The current local-e sites use old technology and have an outdated look and feel, so a redesign project was started.
2. Research was conducted including stakeholder interviews and surveys to understand how the sites are currently used and ideas for improvements.
3. Based on the research, proposed redesigns included a more contemporary look and feel, better organization of content, and changes to navigation and key pages like the homepage.
4. Different design options were created including information architecture structures and homepage wireframes. User testing of the designs will be conducted
The document summarizes the process of redesigning the website for a local council called Local-e. It discusses auditing the current site, researching stakeholder needs through interviews and surveys, testing new designs with users, and developing an information architecture and top 3 wireframe options. The redesign aims to give the site a more modern and user-friendly design while better organizing content and prioritizing key information for residents.
8. Create a collection of relevant activities to send and ignite conversations . If you are using the platforms to just broadcast and NOT build bridges, your social media engagement will only travel so far.
9. Blogging is about making sustainable conversations and connections . These tools are here to help us. So do not abuse them. The key thing here is to remember that no one learns how to use social media exceptionally well without making mistakes. ~~~ Mark Collier, The Viral Garden
