It was apparent from our initial lecture that there were quite a few of our classmates are new to the world of social media. First off, welcome!
The world of Facebook, Twitter, Blogging (in whatever flavor you choose), is an open invitation to participate in the digital networks that have been created. You can simply be a surveyor on the sidelines, following your favorite news sources, or, for the adventurous and influential you can curate your own content and start your own following!
It's an expansive social world out there, and while I'm by no means an expert, I figured I could point you in the right direction and offer some tips and tools of the trade.
Here in Part 1 (of 5) we'll discuss Klout.
What is Klout? Why is it important for my social media journey?
Klout measures your online influence.
Klout gathers data from your assortment of social media profiles and gives your an interactive dashboard to process that information and understand where you fit in your social networks.
It allows you to track your "presence".
By informing you whom you influence, who influences you, what topics you generally speak about, Klout can lay indicators of your social progress. Whether it be through sheer influence or by understanding your topic concentration, Klout shows you both.
I'll talk about URL Shortening in Part 2 of the Getting Started with Social Media series.
A hui hou,
Glenn
