In my opinion, we've been at odds with social media because... 1. social media contributions are rarely the kinds of contributions we desire and; 2. social media websites often operate in ways that conflict with our values and; 3. social media behaviors are not often seen has helpful to our mission.
I've not yet heard a persuasive idea about how we can integrate with, or become more similar to, social media sites that overcomes these issues. But I do intend to remain open minded. - Trevor On Fri, Jan 9, 2015 at 12:07 PM, Daniel Friesen <[email protected]> wrote: > On 2015-01-09 11:59 AM, Strainu wrote: > > 2015-01-09 21:24 GMT+02:00 Rob Moen <[email protected]>: > >> Currently our approach on social media is that "Social media websites > >> aren't useful for spreading news and reaching out to potential users and > >> contributors."
