Strategy

We've started developing a Twitter 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 marketing list and let us know you're interested!

This page needs to be updated from a conversation log.
If you have a moment, please incorporate the discussion from the Marketing FAD 2010 into this page, and then delete this note. Full transcripts (the topic starts at 10:39) are available. If you let the marketing list know you've done this, we will thank you profusely, and also try to improve upon your work.

Past discussions

• Social media was briefly discussed at the Marketing FAD 2010. complete logs are available (start at 14:10:39). For a shorter recap, see this video of Neville Cross, Ryan Rix, and Paul Frields explaining the discussion and a diagram of the whiteboard (photo by Henrik Heigl).

Microblogging Goals/Wishes

• Use identi.ca primarily and have that mirrored to Twitter: i.e. 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 - i.e. Identigator
