Straight from Twitter• Tip: One great way to find more interesting
accounts is see who those you know or admire are following.
• Tip: If you're a new user, others are more likely to find your messages if they are Retweets or @replies.
• Tip: The best way to gain followers on Twitter is to regularly engage and contribute in a meaningful way.

This all seems confusing; that’s OK• You never will be able to read each Tweet out
there• Use third-party applications like TweetDeck or
HootSuite to help organize incoming Tweets• Keep an eye on your mentions, direct messages

Managing the Conversation
![Page 57: Extension and Social Media](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816913550346895de02f78/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Social media is a two-way street• You want to reach your people and (hopefully)
your people want to be reached by you• People want to interact, ask questions• Other people see you are responsive• Not answering or not responding is ignoring
(even if you didn’t mean it)• People use SM to find out more about you, so
help them find that information
![Page 58: Extension and Social Media](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816913550346895de02f78/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Dealing with the Negative• Tough questions are bound to be asked• Bad experiences leads to venting• See if you can make it right, if possible• Let them know you are sorry they felt they
had a bad experience, if you are indeed sorry
• Answer the questions• Allow your followers to defend you
![Page 59: Extension and Social Media](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816913550346895de02f78/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
What Helps?• Try to defuse a negative conversation:• Providing accurate information• Addressing issues in a timely manner• Kill ‘em with kindness/Take the high road• Provide additional resources (links to other web
pages, videos, etc. that verify your message)• Don’t get into an argument for the world to see
![Page 60: Extension and Social Media](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816913550346895de02f78/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
When to Punt (Delete, Ignore, Untag)
• Blatantly abusive posts, bad language• Slanderous posts (don’t let slander trespass)• Overwhelming response to uncontrollable
event, such as: Snow Days:
We can get 100s of posts on days it snows and CSU doesn’t close
We can’t control the weather (Sorry it snowed, but you knew that it snows in Colorado!)
We DO respond to emails/calls about weather (non)closures.
