Twitter 341 tweets (updates) 646 followers 74 lists (Minnesota / Nonprofit) • Suffered from sporadic updates due to owner changes • Tends to be one-sided
Flickr Use mainly for Managed Corporate Projects Uploaded 2,622 items / 14,595 views
Flickr Switched from Picasa to Flickr because it was more popular Use Sets/Collections Tag every photo Link every photo back to your organization
Facebook Used to promote upcoming events and new information on our website We also upload pictures and videos from projects here 955 Friends (we’re not a fan page) Group conversations lead to longer conversations (increased visibility and engagement)
HandsOn’s Online Presence A rocky start Multiple facebook accounts deleted Distraction from work Part-time twitterers Multiple personalities Solutions Clear definition of responsibilities and expectations Make it part of someone’s job, not an addition to their job.
