Social Media Terms - Blog  Blog - Blog is a word that was created from two words:

“web log.” Blogs are usually maintained by an individual or a business with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog

Social Media Terms - Friends  Friends - No, not your pals you play poker with on the

Social Media Terms (1 of 4)  Hashtag - A hashtag is a tag used on the social network

Twitter as a way to annotate a message. A hashtag is a word or phrase preceded by a “#.” Example: #disability and #USBLN2012. Hashtags are commonly used to show that a tweet, a Twitter message, is related to an event or conference, online or offline. Also Proper Names use @ sign. Example: @debraruh or @USBLN  Like - A “Like” is an action that can be made by a Facebook user. Instead of writing a comment for a message or a status update, a Facebook user can click the "Like" button as a quick way to show approval and share the message.

Social Media Terms (2 of 4)  Platform - the framework or system within which tools

work. That platform may be as broad as mobile telephony, or as narrow as a piece of software that has different modules like blogs, forums, and wikis in a suite of tools  Post - an item on a blog or forum.  Retweet - A retweet is when someone on Twitter sees your message and decides to re-share it with his/her followers. A retweet button allows them to quickly resend the message with attribution to the original sharer's name.  Sharing - offering other people the use of your text, images, video, bookmarks or other content by adding tags, and applying copyright licenses that encourage use of content.

15

Social Media Terms (3 of 4)  Social networking sites - online places where users

can create a profile for themselves, and then socialize with others using a range of social media tools including blogs, video, images, tagging, lists of friends, forums and messaging.  Tags are keywords attached to a blog post, bookmark, photo or other item of content so you and others can find them easily through searches and aggregation. Tags can usually be freely chosen - and so form part of a folksonomy - while categories are predetermined and are part of a taxonomy.

Social Media Terms (4 of 4)  Trend - A trend is seen on every social network.

Facebook shows what is trending when multiple users are sharing the same link or discussing the same topic. Google+ highlights trending topic when a user conducts a search. Twitter has a section to the bottom right of its home feed which clearly shows what topics and hashtags are trending in tweets. And LinkedIn shows what industries (in LinkedIn Today) that a certain story is popular.  URL- Unique Resource Locator is the technical term for a web address like http://www.RuhGlobal.com

How do I begin in marketing myself?  Social media is about conversations and networking.  You need a game plan. Decide what you want to

accomplish. Are you looking for a job? Do you want to change careers? What are you passionate about? Do you want to become a Thought Leader?  Find the conversations to join. For example, if you’re targeting people in business or specific careers or jobs, then LinkedIn is possibly the best place to start.  Good way to proceed is to look for groups: are the active groups on the social site interested in what you can help with? If so, then potentially that is a good place to start.
