Characteristics of Social Media

• Participatory: It blurs the line between producer and consumer, media and audience.

• Open and Democratic: It encourages comments, voting and sharing of information. For this reason it is seen as authentic and trustworthy.

• Conversational: Two (or more) way conversation rather than one-directional broadcast. Is personal, specific, and engaging.

• Communal: Supports formation, growth & strength of communities around a particular shared interest.

• Connected: Thrives on being connected, rather than being territorial and proprietary.

EXAMPLE: JEDLAB

• What is this?• Open, conversational, participatory,

communal, connected…• What should we ask?

IT’S NOT ABOUT TECHNOLOGY

People Before Technology

1. PEOPLE: Identify audience(s)

2. OBJECTIVES

– What are you goals and objectives for this

audience?

– What are your audience’s goals?

3. What is the STRATEGY to reach these goals?

4. Determine the specifics of the TECHNOLOGIES

you’ll use. Implement, measure, refine!

People
