Return to NDSA:Outreach Working Group Home

What is the best way distribute the NDSA message to the wider world? What social media tools, services and processes should the NDSA utilize? Twitter? Facebook? Slideshare? Vimeo? Flickr? Others? We need Outreach WG members to set up these accounts if we choose to use them.

Twitter

The NDSA has a new twitter site: https://twitter.com/NDSA2

Please consider posting often so that (as we all begin to post) we can reflect this RSS feed as one way to tune in to NDSA organizational and member initiatives. Please follow http://twitter.com/NDSA2 if you are an active twitter-er.

To log in and use the NDSA Twitter feed:

1. Go here: http://twitter.com/NDSA2
2. login:

user name: NDSA2 password: bkfacbk41

3. Enter your update, question, or reflection and hit return. Adding a link to a blog post or other types of on-line materials that your update is related to is particularly useful.

Contact Carol Minton Morris (cmmorris@fedora-commons.org) if you have questions on using this feed.

This site follows NDSA twitterati (those who posted during the July 2011 summer NDSA meeting):
