Notas del editor
- There are a lot of definitions available that define what “Social Media” is. For the purposes of our conversation today I want you to think of social media in these terms:”Social Media” is an umbrella term that describes multiple internet-based platforms. In general these platforms have a number of things in common, including:-Empowering user-generated content-Facilitating commentary and conversation (dialogue)-Facilitating the sharing of content-Enabling people to connect with one another despite location-Empowering collaboration on topics of mutual interestSome of the platforms under the concept of “Social Media” include:-Social Networking: also referred to as Social Networking Service (SNS) – e.g. Facebook, MySpace, Linkedin-Blogging: the term ‘Blog’ is short for ‘Web Log’ and is one of the oldest forms of social media dating back around 10 years. Blogs can be as simple as text entries on a website. Most blogs today are facilitated by blog hosting services that use web-based software to allow for easy editing and addition of photos and video – e.g. Wordpress, Blogger-Micro-blogging: Micro-blogs started as a means of sending short snippets of content that could be easily sent and read as cell phone text messages. This kind of platform has involved its own ecosystem which includes various forms of URL Shortening services, photo and video hosting, and geo-tagging. Micro-blogging is frequently associated with mobile posting given its origins – e.g. Twitter, Yammer, Pownce-Wikis: Wikis are websites or services that are used for collaborative work. Wikis include groups working on documents or projects to crowd sourcing of information from the general public – e.g. Wikipedia-Photos & Video Sharing: As the coding for the web has advanced and the pervasiveness of broadband connections increased, the additional bandwidth has facilitated services that host and share still imagery and video content – e.g. Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo
- Social MediaIt is immediate – Social media facilitates the ability to post content and have it immediately available to content consumers.It is unmediated – Social media offers few to no gatekeepers for content. What you post is what is made availableIt is a dialogue, which…Increases the efficiency of your communication – by receiving feedback you are better able to assess how effective you are at communicatingCreates greater trust with those you communicate with by building a relationship – by building a positive relationship with your audience they have a greater sense of trust in what you say.‘Social’ is how people communicate – Social Media is an extension of how people already communicate, that’s why it has proven to be an effective means of communicatingLead the conversation or be led by it – Conversations about you, your command, and issues of concern happen with or without your participation. If you don’t participate, you lose a chance to engage in the conversation about subjects that are important!
- Authenticity – It is critical that people know who you are in social media. If they can’t be sure who you are then they won’t trust you and won’t form a relationship with you.Transparency – When communicating in social media you need to be as transparent as possible with those who are listening. Telling people something they don’t want to hear or that you don’t know is preferable to silence. When people understand that you will be straight forward with them they will trust what you say more.Sincerity – People want to know that they are connecting with a real person. Be sincere, show personality and more people will listen and talk to youDialogue over monologue – Social media favors a conversation with others. If all you do is talk, then soon you’ll find that no one else is listeningThere is only one “you” – Gone are the days when you could think of yourself in separate roles that would seldom meet like your work and home life. No gatekeeper – What you say is what is heard (whether that is understood is another matter)Digital is fast – Content is available as soon as it is publishedDigital is forever – Once content is on the web, and especially in social media, it will always exist on some server somewhereDigital is everywhere – with mobile devices, connection to the digital world can take place virtually anywhereResistance is futile – You can avoid using social media but if you want to connect with people, you have to do it where they are communicating and increasingly this is happening in social media
- We are only able to use Social Media sites as an extension of our already existing websites – not instead of them.Your websites are what keep you in compliance with a number of regulations and laws -- so they are not optionalFor example compliance with record keeping, access to the handicapped (Section 508 compliance)Content you post on a social media site needs to exist in some form on a .mil website (e.g. photos, press releases, stories, etc.)Content unique to social media and derivative of content already present on a .mil site does not necessarily need to be on a .mil site (e.g. status update on Facebook, post on Twitter)

- – getting info out, getting answers
- Social media, by itself, is not the solution to all of your communication challenges and it is not a communication strategy.However, social media as part of an overall communication plan is a powerful tool.
