HOW?
Some fair questions


BUT FIRST,


GOALS
How to know when we’re “winning”

• # of Twitter Followers • Participation in Community

• # of Jobs found • Being Inspired / Pushed in our
abilities
• # of Re-tweets

• # of Blog Hits

• # of Website hits via Tweets/
Blog


NOW, BACK TO
OUR QUESTIONS


WHY?
The benefits of a two way street


To Know To be Known
We need to know who people are People need to know who we are
• Inspiration • What we do, what we’ve done, get
their feedback
• Industry Resources
• Because “People Hire People”
• Know the Competition
• To have an Influence on our
• To stay in the thick of developing + Industries’ direction
design conversations


WHO?
People we like that are infinitely cooler than us


Rule of Thumb
“Follow Better People.”

-Lisa Barone

People we Admire
“On Facebook, you’re friends with people you went
to high-school with. On Twitter, you’re friends with
people you wish you went to high-school with.”

-Frank Chimero

Our Competition
“Keep your friends close, and your enemies
[insert: competition] closer.”

-Godfather II


WHAT?
Post-worthy Items & the art of Content Curation


1. Identify your Audience
Who do we want to be following us? People that inspire us,
Freelancers, Designers, Developers and Inventors of cool things

2. Focus your Content Sharing
Our content will reflect our own interests; user experience, mobile
design, developing standards etc.

3. Curate content of impeccable quality
Watch the people we follow and when something inspires us, we send
it back out into the world. The right kind of people will be attracted to
us naturally.

4. Curate Consistently
We need to be putting out tid-bits at a consistent rate. One original
tweet, and two curated (retweets) a day would be a great start.

5. Brand Yourself (not your company)
Bigger companies have found success in using an individual’s voice on
their twitter account, instead of a boring impersonal voice. Zappos
found success in using “handles” so followers know who’s talking.


WHERE?
Platforms of Choice


WHERE TO FIND + POST

By making our Blog and Twitter our primary social networking platforms, we’ll be able to cover all
our bases. Setting our blog to automatically post to our Twitter feed, and our Twitter feed to
automatically post to Facebook and LinkedIn, will cover all the platforms.

With the exception of Google+, which can be dealt with later.
