Quote

"Social media is a spectacular concept. It can be any tool that facilitates conversation on the web, a canvas for self-expression, a pin board for interesting information, a newsfeed (of the non-Facebook type) in real time, a gallery of trending topics and a platform that bridges the gap between the successful and the ambitious. It is a living, breathing and ever-evolving mass of knowledge and commentary that can be harnessed for both bad and good.” – Me within my cover letter for Trozzolo Communications Group

Personal Tips

Post about articles that are relevant to your area of study. Provide commentary for these articles – don’t just be a

spam bot.Be human.

Tweet about dressing down for a day or about the “big game” but don’t flood your TL with it.

Connect other social networks. I personally connect foursquare and post some

Instagram pics. It shows depth and understanding of modern day tech.
