Five Things You & All of Us Can Do
• Start where you are: LinkedIn as a starting point• Become an Informer: Build presence on Twitter• Tell you own story: Make Photos/Videos available
using Flip Cameras, Twitpic, & Flickr• Go home! Build robust on-line home for your work
& use metrics to track success• Build a Fan Base: Use Facebook to provide a
“home” for supporters & inform your communities20
What You Need to Know:
Status Updates (140 character messages) keep your name, agency and your activities in front of your connections – without any extra effort from you
Can be sent from your cell phone!
Share insights, make requests, announce achievements, send event invitations, solicit help, and give or receive advice – immediately
Status updates can appear on the LinkedIn homepages of your direct connections, where they can comment or respond.
Updates are visible to your connections, your entire network, or all LinkedIn members (depending on your account settings).
Receive expert advice or suggestions from members of your network
Note: You can link other applications to your LinkedIn profile – SlideShare, WordPress, Twitter, Polls, etc.
LinkedIn – a place to begin
Access to people and information matters!: For funding opportunities, research, recommendations, & advice.
Concept: with 6 Degrees of Separation everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth - the “small world phenomenon”
The more robust your personal network, the fewer degrees between you and the people you want to know
Online, visible networks have benefits beyond offline networks – portability, speed, trust, durability, sustainability
6 Degrees of Separation
Note: With social media, you can be better known, networked and noticed – without leaving your desk!
The Possibilities
What would it mean for your program to be connected to the leaders of your field?
What would it mean for our effectiveness, for businesses, the nonprofit sector, and public sector partners to be connected
on LinkedIn and other social media platforms?
What would it mean for the entire non-profit sector in our state to the most connected in the country?
Be an Informer

Twitter Basics
• Messages – 140 characters – a “Tweet”
• Messages available to anyone – but sent directly to your “followers” accounts
• Messages from the people you “Follow” sent to your account – all messages accessible through searching
• Individual users have account names – identified by “@NAME”
25
Twitter?
• 15 Billion messages sent
• 140 characters or less
• Millions of individual broadcasting networks with custom-built audiences
26
Twitter Starting Point - Listen
• Counter-intuitive – listen first• Follow 5 new people – see who they
“listen” to, then five more, then five more – watch the conversation happen
• Try a search – Search.Twitter.com• Read the conversation – who is saying
what? Follow some interesting folks.Adapted from http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/5_simple_twitter_listening_tips_every_marketer.php
27
Listen…Search a “hashtag”
28
What have you learned by listening?
• What conversations are out there?
• Who is having them?• Is there a voice missing
from the discussion? • Is there information
missing?• What value can you add?
29
Fear-free Tweeting
• How could you message your peers in 140 characters or less?
• How would it be different than how you communicate now?

What could you say on H1N1?
• Take one step today to protect your parents – help them get the #H1N1 vaccine (link)
• Most seniors in our county still haven’t been vaccinated for #H1N1. Help them get connected today (link)
• Prepare for summer. Sunscreen and #H1N1 vaccines for the vulnerable people in your life (kids, seniors).
• If you love someone, help them get vaccinated with the #H1N1 vaccine. Lots available in Alameda County.
• Five seconds can mean a year of #H1N1 coverage. Help someone you love get the vaccine today.
