If you missed Friday’s Service In Action call… you missed out! We used our time to talk about the use of Social Media and offered a few musts to get everything in line for your social networking outreach. The call is available as a podcast on the SIA site, but we also have a few supporting points to add:

First, here are the links that we shared on the Facebook topic – Facebook for Marketers, Facebook for Influencers (celebrities, through leaders etc.) and Facebook for Non-Profits. Check these out for news from the source; you’ll also get insight on their features as well as updates they have planned for the channel.

There are also tons of articles on Twitter, one such article is from the Internet Marketing Toolbox, their recent post, Best use of Twitter, offers some dos and don’ts to consider as you are sending your tweets out into the Twittersphere! Bear these points in mind and be creative with this medium, as mentioned on the call some conferences are using Twitter to stream live feeds during events (including last week’s Windy City Social.)

Blogs are your tried and true medium… one of the firsts in the social media genera and serve as more of a record than any of the other due likely to their search-ability, website feel and general acceptance.

Finally, be sure that your adventures in social media are anchored in your established communications (i.e. your emails and on your home page.)

P.S. Be sure to mark your calendar for the July Service In Action on Mobile Marketing on July 30!
