Post-it notes: Innovator will share secrets of social media
http://socialnetworkingnews.org/post-it-notes-innovator-will-share-secrets-of-social-media-3/
The dirty secret of social media is that almost everyone will miss almost everything you do on social media, said Sree Sreenivasan, a digital innovator who will headline a workshop Tuesday at Point Park University on the latest trends in mobile, video and apps.
That doesn’t mean Facebook and Twitter are a waste of time. These sites can bring attention to an idea faster and better than any other platform, he said.
“Social media is misunderstood,” said Sreenivasan, the chief digital officer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Refugees may be some of the most excluded people in society, but social media and new technology nevertheless play a crucial role in many of their lives. Across the globe, refugees are finding ways of using them to stay connected to families, homelands and political causes, in ways they couldn’t have a decade ago – even though it can have security implications. A number of refugees, particularly from Syria, suggested they use the free messaging mobile app, WhatsApp, because they believe the messages are secure. Whether WhatsApp messages can be hacked or intercepted is not clear, however

These women used social media to reclaim their bodies
http://socialnetworkingnews.org/these-women-used-social-media-to-reclaim-their-bodies/
Sukki Singapora is the kind of person who electrifies the Internet.
Her bright blue hair falls in waves around her neckline as she discusses, over Skype from London, her passion and art form: burlesque dancing. She talks eagerly about confronting the patriarchy of her native home Singapore with a simple desire to express her sexuality.
Even in pixels, Singapora’s charisma is contagious.
Being armed with a digital megaphone is clearly the life for which Singapora was destined, though it began by accident. As a teenager, she discovered burlesque dancing on the Internet and was intrigued by the style of strip-tease, often performed for audiences of women.

Students cheated by posting test questions on social media
http://socialnetworkingnews.org/students-cheated-by-posting-test-questions-on-social-media-2/
In the latest twist on high school cheating, two Maryland 10th-graders taking a statewide English assessment posted test questions this month on Twitter.
Where students once passed notes or looked over their shoulder, today they can use Twitter, Instagram or Facebook to send a test question to a friend. And as the means of cheating have evolved, so have the efforts to stop them. The Twitter posters were caught by a testing company trolling social media with advanced software that works continuously to find key words or phrases.

Salma Hayek has made her Facebook and Twitter debut – and taken her first selfie – while describing the “peaceful revolution” on social media that has enabled women to tackle problems such as age and body image stereotyping in advertising.

Meerkat CEO: We Will Build Our Own Social Network
http://socialnetworkingnews.org/meerkat-ceo-we-will-build-our-own-social-network/
The smartphone video live-streaming service, Meerkat, was flying high. Launched in February, two weeks before South by Southwest, the app won over the geek elite. Meerkat had the video chops programmed in, and it used the Twitter social network to connect users to each other and tell them when their friends were live online.
All was going swimmingly, until Twitter put the brakes on Meerkat’s access. Twitter, it turns out, is preparing to launch its own video service, based on the startup Periscope

10 Top Entertainment Moments in Twitter History
http://socialnetworkingnews.org/10-top-entertainment-moments-in-twitter-history/
In the nine years since Twitter was founded, the social networking platform has become a go-to place for breaking news, political protests and conversations about must-see TV.
The San Francisco-based company has become especially popular with celebrities, athletes and other public figures over the years because of its ability to cut through all the middlemen and allow for direction connections with fans.
In honor of Twitter’s ninth birthday, The Hollywood Reporter looks back at some of the top entertainment moments throughout its history.

How does social media use influence political participation and civic engagement? A meta-analysis
http://socialnetworkingnews.org/how-does-social-media-use-influence-political-participation-and-civic-engagement-a-meta-analysis-3/
Academic research has consistently found that people who consume more news media have a greater probability of being civically and politically engaged across a variety of measures. But in an era when the public’s time and attention is increasingly directed toward platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, scholars have sought to evaluate the still-emerging relationship between social media use and public engagement. The Obama presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2012 and the Arab Spring in 2011 catalyzed interest in networked digital connectivity and political action, but the data remain far from conclusive.

Twitter’s been around for 9 years. Here are the best tweets from politicians.
http://socialnetworkingnews.org/twitters-been-around-for-9-years-here-are-the-best-tweets-from-politicians/
Twitter turns 9 years old this weekend. The social network has grown into something used by every U.S. governor, senator, and most House members, and it’s a newswire for politicians, journalists, and political junkies alike.
Here’s how the Post described it in a 2008 story (it took 379 characters):
“Twitter, a social-networking site, lets its users constantly update, or “tweet,” their friends, acquaintances, and potentially anybody else with a Web connection, with short, often mundane messages like “heading to the library,” “feeling sad,” or “working late.” Entries are limited to 140 characters, so the typical update is only a sentence or two, like a super-short blog post

4 Tips for Developing Effective Social Media Content
http://socialnetworkingnews.org/4-tips-for-developing-effective-social-media-content-2/
Social media is all about content. Whether you’re a business owner or not is irrelevant — content is what you go on social media to see. When it comes to being a business on social media, the amount of effort you put into content creation is much greater. It comes down to shareability, style, timing and various other factors that, if approached without care, will kill your social media pages.

SURVEY: Millennials Prefer To Stumble Onto News Stories

CHICAGO (AP) — Young adults have a reputation for being connected to one another and disconnected from the news. But a survey has found that mobile devices and social networking are keeping them more engaged with the broader world than previously thought.
They want news, they say, though they don’t always aggressively seek it out — perhaps simply happening upon it on a friend’s online feed. And they want it daily.

Selfies and social media are bad for your finances.

If you’re a friend of the Joneses, you may know every restaurant and bar they’ve sampled, the beaches they’ve visited, the concerts they’ve seen and all the marvellous things their kids have done. People have always felt pressure to spend like their friends, but now it’s a continuous, almost real-time distraction.

http://socialnetworkingnews.org/new-report-marketers-tastes-in-social-media-are-changing-2/
While some aspects of social media are shifting, over the past 24 months other strategies remain largely the same, according to the newest Leadtail Social Insights Report.

Marketers’ interest in location-based check-in apps appears to be over. Only 5% of marketing leaders share check-in information from sites like Foursquare in the current survey as compared to 28% just 24 months ago.

Why NASA Is Betting SpaceX Can Help Reinvent the Shuttle Program (Q&A)
http://socialnetworkingnews.org/why-nasa-is-betting-spacex-can-help-reinvent-the-shuttle-program-qa-3/
When former NASA astronaut John Grunsfeld was in elementary school, America was racing Soviet Russia to the moon.
Today, the U.S. is launching astronauts into orbit on Russian rockets, and the U.S. space shuttle program is a thing of the past.
There’s a plan to revive it, albeit in a different form. Americans will launch their own astronauts to space again in 2017, if all goes according to plan, but it’ll require billions of dollars and a lot of help from outside NASA. A little flair from Elon Musk wouldn’t hurt, either.

What you now can (and can't) post on Facebook | News | DW.DE | 16.03.2015
http://socialnetworkingnews.org/what-you-now-can-and-cant-post-on-facebook-news-dw-de-16-03-2015/
Facebook released a new set of guidelines on Monday to help clarify for its users what is acceptable to share on the site – and what’s not. The site’s new “community standards” are meant to give Facebook’s more than 1 billion monthly users a more detailed rulebook for content that is controversial, offensive or violent.
Facebook’s head of Global Policy Management, Monika Bickert and Deputy General Counsel, Chris Sonderby, announced the changes in an open letter on the site, adding that the company’s “policies and standards themselves are not changing.”

How To Reach New Social Audiences Through Networking
http://socialnetworkingnews.org/how-to-reach-new-social-audiences-through-networking/
No business, whether small and local or huge and international, can skip social media these days. But take heart – engaging in social media does not necessarily mean that your business needs to get Pinterest/LinkedIn/Instagram/Snapchat/Tumblr, or whatever the kids are doing these days. As far as we’re concerned, keeping your social media streamlined and effective is the new black.
It can be tempting to expand your online reach by adding new social platforms to your list, but most businesses simply don’t have the time and staff to maintain fresh content on multiple channels. Spreading your content too thin or reproducing it identically on 10 different platforms isn’t a recipe for success, whether you’re looking to increase brand awareness or boost sales. For small businesses, I’d personally suggest Facebook as a starting point, and Twitter if you’re up for a few tweets a day

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Today’s younger generation has a reputation of being glued to the cellphones and tablets.
It’s where they chat with their friends, find out the latest hot spots in town and, believe it or not, keep up with the world. In their own way, of course.
A new survey found that while they want to know what it is going on in their city, state, country and world, they don’t always aggressively seek it out, rather they happeng upon it on a friend’s online feed.
