A Tip-a-Day by and for Evaluators - AEA365. Hello, my name is Jayne Corso and I am the Community Manager for AEA. As a community manager, I create weekly posts for AEA’s Facebook and Twitter pages. Although you can share similar content on Facebook and Twitter, your approach should be unique for each channel. I have put together a few tips for composing text for both Facebook and Twitter. Facebook: Hot Tip: Keep it to 80 characters The Facebook character limit is technically 63,206; however, when posting on Facebook, you should try to keep your text within 80 characters.
Hot Tip: Don’t just post a link Facebook is a great channel for sharing blog posts or linking to external content, but don’t just post the link. Hot Tip: Use images Facebook posts that use images receive more engagement than posts without images. Twitter: Hot Tip: Keep it simple Twitter has a character limit of 140, but studies have shown that posts that are 120-130 in length receive better engagement.
Hot Tip: Grammar is still important Good luck crafting your posts! Aea365 Content Curation. My name is Susan Kistler and I am the American Evaluation Association’s Executive Director. This is the last in a short aea365 series on content curation. Thursday focused on how evaluators (researchers, professionals, students, others) can use content curation. Yesterday, I took a look at four content curation tools: BagTheWeb, Connotea, pearltrees, and Scoop.it.
Today, I’m hoping that others might be interested in expanding on this project. Hot Tip: Want to get involved? There are two ways you can help with our content curation project. The first is by taking a close look at a specific tool (I’ve got a list!) If either of these is of interest, add a note to the comments below or for those who know me personally, send an email if you prefer. It’s amazing what we can do together!
