Opening Day
The Red Sox won their home opener and all is right in the universe. Is there a Tweetworks group for your MLB team? If not, why not? Set one up.
I also posed a few questions during the show for you to tweet about. Think innovation, grammar and social media.
Featured Groups and Discussions:
- Red Sox Nation (created by Chad Northrup) – All Sox, all the time…
- Innovation (created by Stephen Shapiro) – I watched a great TED Talk video on the use of innovative design in the newspaper industry. It got me thinking about this same approached might be used in other industries. What do you think?
- Grammar Fascists United (created by ewangee) - Deeply reactionary bored bores. Seeing this group created made me wonder if it isn’t time to roll out some new grammatical rules that apply to social media communication. Are the rules that applied to Hemingway applicable to the blogger orTwitter user?
- Social Media (created by Avi Joseph) – Social Media And Web Strategists. Having received two alumni magazines in the last few days I couldn’t help but wonder why the education industry isn’t using social media to its fullest potential? If any industry should be able to knock it out of the park it’s the United States’ college system. But here I am getting alumni magazines and phone calls to donate. I log in to the Boston University Alumni community site and there is no Facebook, LinkedIn of Flickr integration. I don’t see anycontextual ads for relelvant products like BU t-shirts for my kids or even articles about college planning for the little ones. The natural affinity of the high school and colllege experience has provided this industry an obscenely unfair advantage in leveraging social media but they seem to be dropping the ball.
