{{admon/note|We've started developing a [[Status and microblogging SOP|microblogging strategy]].  However, we don't necessarily have one for other social media outlets. Perhaps you'd like to help us fix that - if this is a space you're excited about exploring, we'd love to hear from you. Please email the [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing marketing list] and let us know you're interested!}}
* Target Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and identi.ca
* Leave other services and more specific pages (e.g., the Flickr group, @fedora_gr-the Fedora Greece Twitter) to those who maintain them now
* Expand the [[Status and microblogging SOP|microblogging strategy]] to apply to other social media.
* Pay for four HootSuite Pro users ($30/month): One each in NA east coast, NA west coast, Europe, Asia
** If in time we find we need more, we would consider adding more to the team

===HootSuite===


=== Past discussions ===
'''Benefits'''
* Analytics
* User management and multiple users access to posting from multiple accounts in one easy place
* Scheduling
* Auto scheduling, which will attempt to determine optimum time within the day for a message
* Bulk upload (you can create a list of scheduled posts in a csv and upload it all at once rather than entering them individually)
 
'''Drawbacks'''
* Not an open solution (but most of the services we're posting to aren't open either)
 
'''Price'''
$10/month for 2 users, $10 for each additional user
 
===Follower strategy notes===
 
* @fedora_linux moved to @fedora on Twitter in 2010 but still has more followers. People tend to follow back (and may have missed the move altogether). We should start following @fedora_linux followers from @fedora, though in small numbers, as Twitter will block accounts that follow too many at once.
* Facebook Pages are becoming less useful to the organizations that use them due to their new Promoted Posts feature. Fewer eyes are seeing posts. That doesn't mean we should ignore FB, but it's worth noting.
 
===Questions===
* What do we do about password management? For example, if an account is managed by only one person at this time, and that person leaves Fedora, we'll have an orphaned social media community.
* What's the current state of posting to identi.ca from HS? This may have to be more manual as well.
* What's the state of Identigator and do we want to use it? (Is it currently in use?)

Proposed strategy

  • Target Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and identi.ca
  • Leave other services and more specific pages (e.g., the Flickr group, @fedora_gr-the Fedora Greece Twitter) to those who maintain them now
  • Expand the microblogging strategy to apply to other social media.
  • Pay for four HootSuite Pro users ($30/month): One each in NA east coast, NA west coast, Europe, Asia
    • If in time we find we need more, we would consider adding more to the team

HootSuite

Benefits

  • Analytics
  • User management and multiple users access to posting from multiple accounts in one easy place
  • Scheduling
  • Auto scheduling, which will attempt to determine optimum time within the day for a message
  • Bulk upload (you can create a list of scheduled posts in a csv and upload it all at once rather than entering them individually)

Drawbacks

  • Not an open solution (but most of the services we're posting to aren't open either)

Price $10/month for 2 users, $10 for each additional user

Follower strategy notes

  • @fedora_linux moved to @fedora on Twitter in 2010 but still has more followers. People tend to follow back (and may have missed the move altogether). We should start following @fedora_linux followers from @fedora, though in small numbers, as Twitter will block accounts that follow too many at once.
  • Facebook Pages are becoming less useful to the organizations that use them due to their new Promoted Posts feature. Fewer eyes are seeing posts. That doesn't mean we should ignore FB, but it's worth noting.

Questions

  • What do we do about password management? For example, if an account is managed by only one person at this time, and that person leaves Fedora, we'll have an orphaned social media community.
  • What's the current state of posting to identi.ca from HS? This may have to be more manual as well.
  • What's the state of Identigator and do we want to use it? (Is it currently in use?)


Past discussions

Microblogging Goals/Wishes

  • Use identi.ca primarily and have that mirrored to Twitter: -- Perhaps using Identigator
  • Come up with something more FLOSSy than HootSuite that actually works with Identi.ca (see above suggestion)
  • Verified accounts
  • Twitter accounts we care about are listed. ??
  • Automated (get eyeballs)
  • Manual (for calls to action)
  • push content vs conversations (keeps us authentic)
  • QA and accountability (for quality of content)
  • Aggregate #fedora, #fudcon, etc. tweets -- Identigator maybe ??
