Social Media Explained

We hosted a brown bag seminar with standing room only. We’ve taken these notes on what was discussed for your convenience.

• People use the Internet to find a solution or be entertained
• Social networking is the simple task of meeting people via social media
• Social media includes blogging, microblogging services such as Twitter and personal branding applications such as Facebook and LinkedIn
• Keep your personal stuff personal and off your branding methods
• Use common sense, don’t give out personal info that might be embarassing
• Be professional at all times and avoid controversial topics such as politics and religion
• Resume building can be done via LinkedIn
• Facebook Fan Pages are for your business not your personal friends
• Link Twitter and / or Facebook on your blog
