Sherriwilliams. Sherri Williams (SherriWrites) Chelsea.aures. Chelsea Aures. #Social4Good Presentation Here is a #social4good presentation brought to you by @chelseaaures @ashlyo and @kristinmommers. Tune in December 6th at 11am to follow the live tweets. Picking the Pearltree I’m trying out pearltrees for the first time in #NewhouseSM6. Check out my tree by clicking the above title. I struggled a bit with understanding how to use pearltrees, but the video tutorials were a great help. Twitter Apps: First to Worst This week, let’s take a look at Twitter apps for #NewhouseSM6 and @dr4ward. 1. I love the concept of multiple streams on Hootsuite. 2. The fact that TweetDeck is a desktop application is a huge downside for me. 3. The Seesmic interface is absolutely hideous. 4. I was a little surprised to learn that there are different levels of SocialOomph, some free and some paid. 5.
TweetGrid looks like it is in its beta version. 6. Monitter seems like it would work great for brands that need to keep track of consumer insights. How much does Chelsea love Tweet Chats? Chelsea Aures (chelseaaures) Chey Contiguglia. Diving for Pearls This weeks discussion topic in NewhouseSM6 via DR4ward at www.dr4ward.com, was about Pearltrees, the website is www.pearltrees,com if anyone wishes to make an account. I signed up for a Pearltree account and created a Pearltree for the class, check it out here: I am still trying to figure out how exactly to use this site, even though I used the help pearl and a blog, www.blog.pearltrees.com, recommended by a classmate. I don’t exactly understand the need for it other than to keep all the things you are interested in, in one place. Hopefully as I begin to understand it more I will come to use it. Try, Try, Try again This week in my Social Media Theory and Practice class, better known as #NewhouseSM6 on www.twitter.com taught by Twitter handle @Dr4Ward, we had to use six different twitter platforms.
Seesmic: At first I was put off by this platform but ended up messing around a little more with it and it’s growing on me. Chey Contiguglia (CRContig) Deecater. Dee Cater (deecater) Dee Cater.

How we made #SocialMediaCuration Here’s the story of how our Social Media Curation presentation came together. Lu and I, in talking about our interests, quickly realized that we wanted to focus on Social Media Curation start-ups.
That was a good combination of our interests - Lu in start-ups, me in curation. We did a lot of the work in Google Docs - we had a master file where we kept our notes, outlines, next steps, etc. That helped us out, because everything was in one place. Then the question of how to contact the CEOs/professionals for our interviews came up. I also created a Storify on Sean Brannagan’s talk in our class. For Paper.li, I got a quick response saying to contact them through their information e-mail address. For Flipboard, founder Mike McCue quickly responded to me on Twitter and directed me to Christina van der Boom in their office. Social Media made this presentation possible. The speed at which we were able to do this impressed me, too. Lcmiley. Laura Miley (LCMiley) Laura Miley - Tumblr. So many ways to tweet, but so little time. If I’m going to use a platform for Twitter, I will most likely use only one of those listed below. While each offer something unique with more features than your average Twitter page, I’m looking to find my main go-to platform.
Here are my thoughts on which are and are not worth my precious tweeting time: Hootsuite: www.hootsuite.com I really like that all my threads (timeline, @replies, DMs, and sent tweets) show up right next to each other so that I don’t have to click around everywhere. TweetDeck: www.tweetdeck.com Having used TweetDeck before and now coming back to it again, I am reminded of earlier frustrations with it. Seesmic: www.seesmic.com I had only roamed on this site for a minute and I already did not like the general layout. SocialOomph: www.socialoomph.com This site looks very rookie compared to HootSuite and TweetDeck. TweetGrid: www.tweetgrid.com/grid The start-up process was much easier than the last few, which is definitely a plus. Malory Toscano (malorytoscano) Malory Toscano. Lately. And because Facebook won’t let me post any photos.

So we’ve been examining all the ways people can measure us based on our social media impact. So I’m happy to turn the tables and give my opinion on social media apps. After testing out six social media management apps, I have decided that HootSuite fits me the best, by far. Here’s why: TweetDeck: Frustrating for the non-savvy-social-media user like me. I was not keen on downloading an app to my desktop when my computer’s already slow enough. Plus, the pop-up notifications drove me mad. Though I’m sure there’s an easy way to turn this off, simply put- I want a site that’s going to make my online experience easier right off the bat and I don’t want to fiddle around with a bunch of settings.
Seesmic: Eh. SocialOomph: An eyesore- I would have gladly recommended this site for our Graphic Design website renovation project if I could. TweetGrid: Another poorly-designed, impossible to navigate eyesore. Monitter: Easy to use, but few tools and not much to it. But wait! Grace Johnson (gracie_mjohnson) Grace Johnson. My first attempt at TweetChat could probably be compared to my first day here at Newhouse: scary and overwhelming. The first issue I found was how unorganized it seemed to be. I understand that there is a moderator available to facilitate the flow of conversation, but at around 20+ people, the moderator became ineffective. My computer continuously flooded with ten to fifteen new tweets at once to answer people’s questions about Klout. I found myself struggling to follow one string of questions to another, and was even too overwhelmed to ask one myself.
By the time I thought of question number four, the group was on question ten. It was as if we were all in a room shouting our questions over one another, trying to be heard. Another issue was the intense focus it demanded on participants, which is also tied to the lack of organization. If I could make a recommendation for the overall process, it would be to limit the amount of participants in a chat to a handful at most.
