Social Media Weekend: Conference Overview

image 
In our effort to keep you abreast of the most important conferences we bring you this report from our newest correspondent who is no other than....my daughter Danielle, a college sophomore and managing editor of the University of Delaware newspaper.

Here's what she learned from top people in the industry:

Facebook is a new tool for journalists, job hunting tips, blogging and how to use Twitter and LinkedIn the right way.

Top takeaways:
* Keep twitter professional, it’s business
* Show a specific focus in person and on Twitter & blogs
* Social media can be overwhelming, test new sites to see how they work for you before fully committing
* Spend time on blog posts and tweets, check grammar, use tags, links and pictures
* Keep your audience in mind when you’re active in social media, don’t bore them
* Showing your interests on social media gives you character, blogs don’t have to relate to your career.
