Why are we here?
Schroeder, D. (2009). Web 2.0 Social Computing & Generation Y Action Group. National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Available online: http://blogs.nasa.gov/cm/wiki/?id=6004
We want to share ideas, stories, have discussions,
ask questions,
respond, etc.
But we do not want to
overload our already busy email inboxes

What social media tools do we have available to us?
![Page 6: Coordinating a geographically dispersed research project using social](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/55535cd7b4c905cf188b4b3c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How can we tie these social media tools together and keep a discussion going ?

You can also email in your posts
• If you are not into logging onto Wordpress.com and creating your posts you do have the option to email your entries directly to the blog
– You lose some of the creative flexibility you have inside the editor but it does work!
– This could be very useful when travelling, and perhaps you could even email posts in from your phone?

GETTING TO KNOW TWITTER Part 2
![Page 17: Coordinating a geographically dispersed research project using social](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/55535cd7b4c905cf188b4b3c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Twitter is a space for sharing ideas and connecting to people whose work you are interested in
![Page 18: Coordinating a geographically dispersed research project using social](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/55535cd7b4c905cf188b4b3c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Much like Facebook’s status update, you can share what you are doing or thinking, talk to someone or
share a web link Tweets that include the text #ICTAU are
linked to our website and also linked together by this unique hashtag
If you want to talk to someone use the @ character. mpaskevi is the username of
someone who I want to view my Tweet
This tweet also includes a link to a
YouTube video that I want to share
![Page 19: Coordinating a geographically dispersed research project using social](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/55535cd7b4c905cf188b4b3c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Because I used the #ICTAU hashtag my
tweet will also appear on our
website
![Page 20: Coordinating a geographically dispersed research project using social](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/55535cd7b4c905cf188b4b3c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
USING URL SHORTENER’SPart 3
![Page 21: Coordinating a geographically dispersed research project using social](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/55535cd7b4c905cf188b4b3c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
You only get 140 characters to use in tweets so if you want to share a link it needs to be shortened
This URL is 94 characters which
doesn’t leave much room for any textual
context!
![Page 22: Coordinating a geographically dispersed research project using social](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/55535cd7b4c905cf188b4b3c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Use bit.ly to shorten urls to a smaller length
Paste the long URL in the window at
http://bit.ly
This URL has been shortened to 20
characters, leaving 120 characters for my
message!
![Page 23: Coordinating a geographically dispersed research project using social](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/55535cd7b4c905cf188b4b3c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ill use the shortened URL on Twitter so that
I can add more text into my tweet.
And the short URL will redirect anyone who clicks the link to the
longer URL
![Page 24: Coordinating a geographically dispersed research project using social](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/55535cd7b4c905cf188b4b3c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Bit.ly provides real-time analytics on the links you create. So
you can see how much interest your link has generated and where in the
world they came from
