Other Notes
We need notes more notes. Here's what we have:
Open Web Project Fest (Speedgeeking):
Example: Nathan represented Universal Subtitles during the speedgeek session. 8 participants offered to support the project, and Nathan sent the project leads their emails.
Open Space Breakouts:
Here are Henrik's notes from the social media breakout:
david lehrer - interested in scientific socia sharing, runs an NGO axel - mozilla - curious, sceptic; saw FFs success w listening caroline - tribaspace - director of digital strategy thomas - works in publishing, CMS, online projects
Social media strategy what is the best way to communicate drumbeat? FB fan page - 700 fans focus on FB, Tw, FB - landing box on fan page app to show what drumbeat is link profiles - everybody following in one medium - make sure not to be too spammy drumbeat is a metacommunity - schizoid build drumbeat identity + project identies policy for projects to ensure consistency best practisies
caroline create buzz takes time - hard work - pays off later
ALGG - alternative facebook Bogo
Thomas: agile strategy - should be ready to adopt - future -
Pike - drumbeat projects are going to have different statuses of health -
critical points: how much do you send how often when do we start spamming adjusting to media
quality of updates - should they be personal?
Caroline: when we have company news - we start on our company channel then RT Official stream
sending vs LISTENING
most meaningful is to lean back and
- pike : we started listening to firefox comments
blown away by quality + and building relationships: people surprised that
Is this going to be a feedback channel or also news?
avoid echo chambers
could we do hardcore on status.net and "light" on twitter /FB?
track / monitor - pick up sentiment (listening)
Peter: important to split -
describe on each platform who's talking what you can expect
Caroline: analyze on each channel
NO AUTO POSTING (generally agreed, even Carlo)
highlight on quality
create a feed
so a gradual system for levels of interest of participation
we still need FB - people seem to be using FB more
we shouldn't just focus on FB / TW - we should build a niche - finding new ways, doing it different - and find deeper comm -
Carlo georef -
Peter: if in doubt, do less, and do it well
single-sign-on
