#NotAudience@vanessafreitas

"The best social media's tool for you is the one that best suits with your goals and projects " 

"When you try a job's connection don't forget to get info about who or the company that you're getting in touch with"

"It's necessary spend time updating your social media with right and consistent info"

Was a great opportunity to get to know more about Social Media and what is going on these days...Thanks everybody who was involved providing and helping in #smwknd

Tip one: Create hashtags for events, assignments, projects, etc. and promote, push and push again to encourage your followers to use them and organize a common purpose.

Tip two: Use Google+ Hangouts to organize video conferences and with the help of Circles bring back the traditional "walls & windows" to either send out a shout or just a whisper. Refer later to the You Tube video of your Hangout for even more opportunities.

Tip three: Use advanced search in LinkedIn to search yourself and take steps to appear on pages one, two or at least three. Set your settings to let people know that you have visited their profile. Keep your LinkedIn profile highly tuned even if you have the most secure job.

#NOTAUDIENCE @SuSaw

- Learned from @carlazanoni it’s important to list skills on LinkedIn profile – helps with searches. Thank you!

- Learned from Sree: You need great, important digital stuff + you need to amplify. To do so, your tweet ought to be at least one of the following:

Helpful, useful, informative, relevant:practical, actionable, timely, generous:credible, brief, entertaining, fun and occasionally funny

- Data is not Big Brother, it has a human face. As does social media. Remember, it's all about relationships.

In gratitude to all of the people who presented and organized this fab weekend,

1. There is an easy way to embed Tweets within blog entries (from @emilymiethner)

2. You can control setting in LinkedIn as to whether people can see you’ve been checking them out (from @patriciakitchen)

3. Put Twitter name in bylines & full name in Twitter profiles, since Google doesn't search anything that starts with @ (from @sree and @mathewi)

#notaudience @AJConn

1. Present a consistent, detailed & cross-referenced description of yourself across all of the social media platforms you use, & keep it current!

2. Don't be afraid to experiment with new services, and find the ones that work for you. That may mean different services carry different elements of your work.

3. The way you deliver the news may change but principles of good journalism don't. You must still vet your sources, verify your facts & use the tools you have for good storytelling.

Thank you for an excellent program!

Not every tool will be right for you: experiment without fear of failure

Invest in expertise, it’s not going out of fashion!

Be personable, get rid of annoying automation

TIPS:

I got a great tech tip about a valuable tool for in the field coverage for journalists: 's Microphone attachment for , which is simply a tiny broadcast quality mike you plug in to your phone. Thanks @sswalker...and  nother tip about an IPhone dolly attachment from @franzstrasser.

I learned how to use Storify to write a story about an event when you're a world away from the actual event. Thanks @AmyVernon

I learned you should  always put your twitter handle in byline & make sure your full name is listed on your profile page. Thanks @Sree 

#NotAudience @ScottLeadingham

Tips:
-For those into community engagement: You can't engage a community by TELLING them to "follow" and "like" YOU. See http://bit.ly/whcirY

-From Al Tompkins (@atompkins) of Poynter: At some point your personal or outlet's Twitter account will be hacked. Do you know what to do? Can you contact Twitter on the spot?

-Don't bet the farm on a platform just because it's huge. One word (or is it two, I can't remember): MySpace.  (If Twitter implodes tomorrow, some cable outlets would have about 20 hours of air to fill with something else. News, perhaps?)

#NotAudience @thisismattball

1. Before retweeting anything with a link in it click the link yourself to verify it.

2. If that DM you just got looks like spam or phishing it then it most probably is so don't click the link. You can delete DMs you receive - get rid of any bad DMs so that you don't accidentally click the link later.

3. To see the number of clicks on a bit.ly link put + at the end of the link.

Social Media Weekend Storify

I learned a great deal about social media at the #SmWknd at Columbia Journalism School. One great tool I learned about is Storify; the best thing about it is you do not even have to be present at the event to tell a story -- a really great tool. I also discovered that you could add editors and collaborate with them on Storify. I'm also trying out the commenting feature -- it posts all interactions from Twitter at the bottom of the page. With their new feature you could also see how many people are reading your Storify post in real-time.  

Here are the stories I did so far :
