A basic to remember:

Social Media

            Interaction + Reaction = Conversation

Some general thoughts -

Twitter

            To Tweet or Not to Tweet – It is not for everyone.  Before you add new forms of Social Media consider how / if you can keep them up and also ask yourself do we need this too?

Blogging – Who do we really want to hear from?

Two typical options:

·      Voice of the People – the everyday person that supports your organization

·      The “Untouchable One” – the artist director, a performer, etc.

Have Video, Will Share

As a general rule of thumb, if you are on YouTube share that on your other sites and help build uniformity in Social Media sites and your message.
