What are your suggestions to narrowing down my efforts? Also what are some other social media outlets
can I use, besides Facebook, to get my cause out there?

Using Social Media to Get Connected
I have a lot of experience with social media. I have used several social media outlets over
the last ten years. Facebook was created
when I was in college so it's exciting to be a part of that phenomenon from the
beginning. I have posted things and
pictures that I regret. Now that I am
trying to establish my career and be seen as a true professional I am always
worried something I posted will come back to harm my efforts. However, I do see social media tools are
helpful in getting my cause across. I
have created pages and groups that help me gain supporters and gives me the
forum to relay vital information. Even
now I still create pages to get my voice heard on certain issues. I haven't made one yet for education because
I am still learning and I want to narrow down my objective.

Hi Dawn, I am hearing that there are organization taking measures to stop employers from using information on Facebook that enables people from obtaining employment. I believe that this is an invasion of privacy and violates the 1st amendment: freedom of speech.
ReplyDeleteThe First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Dear Dawn,
ReplyDeleteI think it is interesting that you stated about starting your Facebook page while in college and being concerned about the impact on your professional career. You probably would have a lot of experience you could share with all of us older people. I first got a Facebook page when my daughter went off to college.
Do you use social media as a part of your advocacy efforts?
Hi dawn!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your sharing your Facebook experience. I have always been conservative with my fb, maybe because I was much older when I started. As for your question, I can't help a whole lot because I had the same question. I do know that you can use LinkedIn to find other like minded people. It could help with building a coalition .
