Social media for Flock

[Paul W. Frields]

A couple people noted in the Magazine meeting that last year's Flock
was a little spammy in use of Twitter/social media.  Would it make
sense to use a different account for "this talk is now on" type
things, and just have the @fedora account stay clear other than to
point people to that account if interested?

Other thoughts welcome.

Given that the % of people attending Flock vs. subscribed to @fedora on
Twitter is pretty low, I'd say let's just do this:

- Tweet about keynotes
- Tweet about evening events
- Remote participation information if applicable
- One or two highlights from each day (e.g. anything we put up on Magazine
or Community blog is fair game)

No more than 10 posts per day about Flock.

IMO we want to use the media channel and have widespread awareness of
Flock, but as you say - don't want to be spammy about it.

Best,

Yeah, i think we should definiently only have at most a couple of flock
tweets in a row. The fedora social accounts aren't really high posting
accounts, so jumping up from max 2-5 tweets a day, to  many more is going
to be seen as spammy IMO.

The tweets we do post should have an impact to people following along at
home -- unless we are streaming the keynotes, tweeting that the keynote is
on is only really useful to the 200 people at flock, not the 70K on the
social networks.

Dear guys,

are you planning to share a daily link or tweet that would point to all the information
that has been gathered about Day 1, Day 2...?

Such as videos, articles, photos, story-boarding from talks...?

Thanks,

I mentioned in the meeting the other day, but I'm definitely +1 to 
keeping a consistent amount of tweets / posts in other places. I 
remember last year, every workshop auto-tweeted and it became to a point 
where the entire timeline / wall was flooded with Fedora, which makes it 
a challenge for anything to stand out. I think we're all agreed on this, 
though.

I like the sounds of keeping content anywhere between 5-10 tweets, and 
possibly fewer posts on other platforms like FB and Google+. A little 
more noise on Twitter makes sense because of the type of (brief) content 
Twitter focuses on.

As an added thought, I think it would be really cool if we could make a 
concerted effort to take advantage of media on all our social platforms. 
Pictures, short video snippets from a talk, anything visual. I think 
this is a *great* way for followers at home to see the things happen and 
make our activity mean more. It's not all just words and talks, but 
there's people and awesome collaboration happening behind all of it too. 
:) If there's a place or person to ship photos to, I'd be happy to 
contribute anything towards making a visually interesting timeline / 
story for Flock.

@Natalie: I don't know if we have specific plans as of now, but I think 
having a general game plan for how we want to keep to our activity 
during the week would be helpful!
