The Social Media Guide

The tone of life on social networking sites The tone of life on social networking sites The overall social and emotional climate of social networking sites (SNS) is a very positive one where adult users get personal rewards and satisfactions at far higher levels than they encounter anti-social people or have ill consequences from their encounters. A nationally representative phone survey of American adults finds that: 85% of SNS-using adults say that their experience on the sites is that people are mostly kind, compared with 5% who say people they observe on the sites are mostly unkind and another 5% who say their answer depends on the situation. 68% of SNS users said they had an experience that made them feel good about themselves. 61% had experiences that made them feel closer to another person. At the same time, notable proportions of SNS users do witness bad behavior on those sites and nearly a third have experienced some negative outcomes from their experiences on social networking sites.

When Campus Social Media Management Is Not All About Unicorns & Rainbows When I think about using Twitter as a listening tool for my campus, my mind always wanders back to Ed Cabellon’s 2009 story about how he reached out to a student who was having a poor experience on his campus. While managing departmental and campus social media accounts over the last few years, I’ve had many opportunities like Ed’s. But recently, I was reminded that not every situation you encounter that involves a disgruntled student will end with all parties satisfied. Last week, I was sitting on the couch at home catching up on email, and I saw the following series of tweets pop up in my Tweetdeck search for a campus that I’m quite familiar with. I happen to manage one of their social media accounts. <Student>: [campus name] is griiiimey<FormerStudent>: “@Student [campus name] is griiiimey” worst campus out there<Student>: @FormerStudent For real though! I stared at my screen for a few minutes, trying to decide how to respond. Ok, so my simple offer to help was not well received.
