Deltina Hay gave a presentation the other day and she had some insightful information to share. First she recommended the essentials,
"RSS feed or blog
Social networking and micro-blogging
Social Bookmarking and Crowd-Sourcing
Media Communities"
She emphasized that these are key practices you should adhere to getting your name, product, or service out .
"Blogs are not just political rants," Hay said. "These are the essentials." Building social media newsrooms. Widgets and gadgets. Tags are essential and having your tags correlate well is good, its how you keep yourself relevant. Tag images and a social portal is the desired approach for someone who cannot manage 2-3 blogs a week (e.g. me, most all AARP members). You need to engage with others and integrate your tools. One image upload to Flikr and your image can be everywhere else you have a presence.
I personally think these are all great ideas. It is important not only to get your service out there, but to make sure your message is the same across all these mediums
For a musician on facebook, "make a profile to link your facebook page" Keep things manageable!!
This is helpful because maybe now they cant steal your content if you make your page and say you are a business.
Squidoo- a squidoo lens can bookmark your favorite subject. It can be used for personal use or your business
This is just one of the many sites I would really like to learn how to use. Not to say that I don't already have a thousand sign in names and passwords that differ. What made the presentation interesting were her personal accounts and experiences. I completely understand the fact that these old business people do not know how to use the Internet, let alone how to use social media sites. If I showed this to some of my parents friends they would just laugh because they do not understand the significance of the Internet and emerging social media.

Deltina was interesting. She had a lot of really good points about social media. I still don't know how convinced I am about the lasting power of social media. It seems like a booming time now, and since we're all learning so much about it, hopefully most of what we're doing will last!
