  9. This is a twitter profile page.Notice the verified official seal
  10. HANDLE: In twitter, your username is called a “handle”.In twitter you may have both a username and a full name. This is because usernames can not have spaces in them and are limited in characters, similar in principle to when there were AOL instant messenger usernames, or phone numbers which are transferred between phones without any spaces.
  11. The purpose of twitter is to tweet and read each others tweets. A tweet is a 140 character comment, essentially like a shortened status or wall post on facebook. Your tweets can be about anything you want to share with a public audience: changes in staff at your organization, sharing interesting links, education, preparedness, warnings.

  15. The graphical elements can be posted to any website, blog, social network profile, or email signatures.This can help facilitate viral spread of your message…Easy for organizations to share the message without creating their own content.
  16. Widget are a small tool or application that is put on a website as a way to help the user either find information or perform some sort of task. One of the cool things about widgets is that are mostly made up of a bunch of lines of codes that can be copy and pasted from website to website.in 2008-2009 there was a large FDA recall of salmonella infected peanuts products. As officials indentified infected products they entered it into a big database. They wanted to share all the information they were collecting with the public so they created this widget that was fed by the constantly updating information in the database. Users could enter the product name or the barcode number to determine whether it had been identified as an unsafe product.If you want to interact with the widgets then go to cdc.gov/widgets.http://www.citizencorps.gov/widgets/

  21. An average flickr user has:253 contacts1620 photos529 views a day7 uploads a day
  22. 3 billion views per day= every US resident watching at least 9 videos each day48 hrs of video uploaded every minuteMost of the time you just look for individual videos. However, some groups and organizations create their own page (called a channel) on YouTube to organize all their videos together.This is an example of an organization that has made a channel of all preparedness videos that include sign language.In NH, PSNH has a YouTube channel that shows videos about a variety of things including the affects of local emergencies such as the Ice storm, or wind storm.

  26. Drawback: time to produce videos- but much shorter and more informal than in the past.
  27. Blog- established to publish messages in user friendly shareable ways; now primary way to share emergency info50,668 views more than county website- 36,417
  28. Benefits: rapidly send messages to many many people. Any one can contribute to the solution or the cause. It can also be used to reach very specific audiences that wouldn’t get that specific information through traditional media. It provides additional tools to reach people in different ways, and provides redundancy when one or more other communication channels are unavailable. -lastly, it allows the public to participate: feel connected to you, and help solve problems.Barriers: It’s scary for organizations because there is lack of msg control and fear of liability. It requires reallocation of time previously spent on traditional forms of communication.
