● In short, it is global lateral interpersonal
communication
● Often times it is viral
● It is always about sharing
– Inward (intra-departmental)
– Outward (inter-departmental, inter-agency)

- 7. Potential Security Threat
● Issue:
– SM usage threatens our IT and agency
security
● Solution:
– Create a SM policy
– Train those that will use SM
– Control how SM is accessed/updated
Shawn Pray © 2010
- 9. Classic Bureaucracy
● Issue:
– We get in the way of our own progress
● Solution:
– Shift the “we can't because...” thinking to
“how do we...”
– Create a SM strategy and policy
– Do your research and address the naysayers
with facts and reason
Shawn Pray © 2010
- 11. Trustworthiness of Information
● Issue:
– We can't trust the information we get via SM
● Solution:
– We already deal with this over the phone
– SM falls in the same category as informants,
tip lines, and anonymous surveys
– Most people will do and say the right thing
– When in doubt, verify as best you can
Shawn Pray © 2010
- 12. Lack of Manpower/Resources
● The Issue:
– We can't dedicate someone to SM
● Solution:
– It doesn't take as much time as you might
think
– According to the UK Strategy departments
took limited time to utilize SM
● 20 minutes/day for 10 Downing St
● <45 minutes/day for FCO
● 5 minutes-2 hours/day UKTI
Shawn Pray © 2010
- 13. FOIA Concerns
● The Issue:
– How do you archive SM content?
● Solution:
– Assume SM content is subject to FOIA
– Use “Save as Web Page, Complete” when
appropriate
– Use available services such as Tweetake or
Backupify
– Do it yourself
Shawn Pray © 2010
- 14. TOS & EULA
● The Issue:
– How owns the content?
● Solution:
– Read & understand the TOS/EULA
– Consult legal
– Inquire about modified TOS/EULA
– Post content accordingly

Communication

citizens additional avenues of communications
– “We think these tools represent a great
opportunity for better situational awareness
and a more timely response to the specific
need of those we proudly serve” - LAFD
● While ICS provides command and control over
resources, SM provides command and control
over information
– In the CA wildfires of 2007, LAFD used Twitter to
communicate citizens behind the fire line

through Twitter and Flickr like wildfire

to Facebook before being officially released

information than we do

photos

information

government

government

- 26. Alternative Media Coverage
● SM allows your agency to get out ahead of
the media on certain issues and publish
factual information
● SM allows you to create your own media
virally
● Public trust of traditional media sources is
rapidly diminishing
– 37% trust the Internet as their primary
information source - Forbes
Shawn Pray © 2010
- 27. Crowdsourcing Solutions
● Use the wisdom of the masses to find
solutions for your problems and get valuable
feedback
● This can be used in all directions
● Hillsborough County, FL using crowdsourcing
via SM to get input and ideas on budget cuts
– This was driven by the BOCC and their desire
to see what the public was willing to give up
Shawn Pray © 2010
- 28. Your People Are Already Using It
● You already have information leakage from
your agency
● You're better off to get ahead of the ball and
guide your employees on their use of SM as
it relates to the job and how SM can be used
by your agency
● You probably have an SM evangelist in your
organization somewhere
