#7: SEGMENT BY SM CHANNEL • Segment by Service: People use social networks for different reasons. Match your agenda and your efforts to the network. Remember the 5 P’s: • People - Facebook. People go to Facebook to connect with people they know. It’s about pre-existing relationships. • Perceptions - Twitter. Twitter is about sharing perceptions about what’s around us with the world. • Passion - Google+. Guy believes people don’t go to Google+ for the same reason as Facebook - it’s less about who you know and more about sharing your passions widely. • Pinning: Pinterest is for posting visuals. It’s about the medium more than the people. • Pimping: LinkedIn. Guy apologized for the word choice but says he feels LinkedIn is for business connections and finding jobs. • You can have success on any of these platforms, but you need to approach each with an understanding of its culture and purpose. – Guy Kawasaki’s top ten social media tips for nonprofits #Top10Methods
