The Corporate Drone’s Social Media Survival Guide
The citizens of corporate America find themselves confined to lifeless cubicles, shackled by oppressive web content filters, and stymied by a stodgy corporate culture that doesn’t understand the new media. What are you, the trendy, with-it, tweeting, facebooking, youtubing, hipster to do? Come to this session where Chad will share his experiences finding his place in the social web and opening up corporate culture along the way.
I’m not sure if wiki’s count as social media, but when I was trying to push acceptance of wiki’s I pointed out some of the failings of the wikis competition: email.
If someone sends an email with an error, that email can never be corrected, a new email can be sent out with a correction, but you have to hope that the second email is read before the first one is acted on.
Lots of the wiki software out there allows for RSS feeds to be produced for changes, this allows someone (or everyone) to monitor changes. This can help in catching errors faster, and in theory eliminates the need for newsletters.
Newsletters, or any email with lots of graphics, are space hogs. If you send out a 1MB newsletter to 1024 people, you’ve just taken up a gig of mailbox space. Make a 1MB wiki page and send an email with a link and the email can fit into less than 1KB.
