Managing Social Media - Personally and Professionally

Really excited that I have officially entered Francis Tuttle into the world of social media. Personally, I've been on Facebook/MySpace for a while and on Twitter for coming on a year now, with about 6 months of really active use. I wanted to make sure that I had a firm grasp on how I would use these before branching out there with our school's image.

So far, it's been great. Have had the oppportunity to really help some customers already. Such a great feeling to know you have addressed an issue that would have otherwise just been grumbled about. Preparing for the Extreme Social Marketing Workshop on April 21st in Bricktown, and I'm really looking forward to developing even more strategies for utilizing these tools.

All in all, however, it still goes back to necessity of happy customers wanting to be evangelists for your brand. Fun stuff!
