The Flair Media Minute v2.0
I’m giving a webinar later today on social media (which I believe you’re welcome to attend, if you want.)
I’m supposed to tell public media people about my job and how they can use social media for their shows and stations. I have a power point presentation and some links and stuff but thought I’d ask if anyone has any specific advice, either for giving presentations (eek) or for people who might be getting on social media for the first time….

Day 2 of my new daily conversation starter. Like a water cooler moment for friends across the Interwebs. Yesterday’s topic was purely cultural so today’s is purely social media, although that is cultural too. Right?
My two cents worth for the attendees of NPR’s webinar is: LISTEN. We’ve all had tons of practice listening - putting our listening ears on and instructing kids to do the same - but we still rush in with responses and proclamations. why do we humans have such a hard time with a seemingly simple skill?
Yes, a little ironic that I’m asking for your response here, and if you do add your 2 cents, I’ll know you’ve been listening.

View social media as a newsletter that can never be lost or destroyed—before you post, think about what you’re saying, to whom, and why.

it is in my opinion that your “reach” in social media id directly proportionate to your real social ability, it is an extension of real life

Learn the mores of each platform before using and posting. Someone on npr adds comments to reblogs “incorrectly,” and it drives me crazy lol.

Know and enjoy the special culture and features of each platform. Engage in conversations. Don’t limit to FB and Twitter.

I did a SM presentation for Burning Man HQ and my mistake was assuming what folks already knew. Open by asking what folks want to learn.

When to respond to comments or I guess censor them?

It’s not about shoving your own content to a new platform. You have to engage the community and she curation tastes through reblogs & retweet

Even though you’re representing an entire brand/program/network, I respond better as a consumer when there is a genuine person behind it.

I love the fresh air tumblr for having a sense of humor and a consistent voice/personality, as well as behind-the-scenes feel.

Advice: Don’t let anyone touch corporate social media who hasn’t been actively using it personally for at least two or three years.

When in doubt, never post something controversial or offensive. Just err on the side of caution.
