Quick notes on the subject of building a topic-specific social network.. I posed a similar question at the social media constituent group meeting at a previous EDUCAUSE conference. "How about I make a new venue for cohort X..."
I got a resounding "NO!" from them. They said use existing venues... twitter.... facebook. But Twitter? Messaging too short, as you said in the original note. Facebook? Too many cats. I am on the board for a local Cisco users group, and we struggle with how to engage with our members between meetings. We throw messaging at an email list, facebook, linked-in and Twitter. Nothing really sticks. We are currently working with the idea of "seeding" these outlets with conversation starters. I trick I'm sure you get, being our CG leader here. :) PS - I, too, started an email list for my local ham radio club. The list has been running strong since 2000. ;) - Pete Hoffswell - Network Manager [email protected] http://www.davenport.edu On Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 5:38 PM, Chuck Enfield <[email protected]> wrote: > Now I feel bad.
