I prefer to have custom Q&A apps built therefore they aren’t beholden to the software company that’s serving the masses. It’s all code. Our developers do intuitive Q&A apps with assisted search functionality for those databases that are quite large. There’s free apps out there from Involver and paid apps from NorthSocial, Lujure and others but…[Read more]

Your page should friend other pages but that’s a very passive tactic. Look outside of Facebook to drive traffic to Facebook. If you’re note going to do sponsored engagement ads or stories, think about blogger or influencer outreach where someone relevant and credible drives the conversation.
I’d suggest a detailed conversation with a word of mouth…[Read more]

Using google chat and google+. Cost effective, easily available, circles allow for grouping, other goolge services like voice and video add to the experience.

Excellent presentation. Well thought out. This is the type of presentation I’d love to see the version 2.0 and 3.0 of over time. The vendor landscape changes so quickly.

He’s the Central Ward Councilman in Newark, NJ who beat an incumbent backed by Mayor Cory Booker. Social media use helped him connect with populations typically ignored during campaigns.

Has this position been filled?

Keith,

Sounds great. I’d love to meet with you. Will check out the site and do some research. Look forward to speaking with you prior to meeting.

All the best,

Stephanie

Agreed. So difficult for orgs to get out of the traditional mindset. Let alone thinking that college degrees contribute to New Media expertise or qualifications.
