Since becoming active in the social media space, I’ve founds very generous people who have shared their experience & expertise with me, making my efforts along the way easier and more effective. The following are some of the posts that may pass along a bit of what I’ve learned to others.
- Basics for Agvocating Online — What I’ve Learned this Year – just a few tips here and there I thought may be useful.
- Finding Communities on Twitter to Connect With – An overview of some of the chat communities on twitter that can provide connectivity to passions & help develop knowledge base, skills sets and community. My favorite chats are #agchat, #blogchat and #gardenchat.
- How to Participate in a Twitter Chat Session like #BlogChat or #AgChat – If you want to try your hand at doing #blogchat or #agchat, this will help you understand how to do it.
- Top New Twitter Hashtags for Farm Topics - I just realized that there are quite a few hashtags we are using in the ag and farm community on Twitter that aren’t on the post I previously did. And since hashtag use isn’t always well understood, it seemed like it may be helpful to some to pull together a short list as a resource.
- Standing Up for Yourself Through Social Media – Some of the great results of farmers in the social media — this showcases a piece that catapulted AgChat Foundation to the national scene with coverage by the Associated Press.
- An Anniversary Hallmark Doesn’t Have a Card for – This is a collaborative post about my first year as I got to know one of the farmers who has been active with AgChat. Shows how things grow from simple conversations over time.
- Got an iPad? I’ve written several posts about my using an iPad. I’m a certified addict and have the top of the line one — 64 gig with 3G built-in. This post talks about how to get started with this and all the various programs, attributes, etc.
- Telling my story, even if it is uncomfortable – a conversation with John Blue about my use of social media.
There are lots of other resources out there. I would point to the AgChat Foundation’s agchat.org and the resources offered by my fellow board members as the preeminent sources in the agricultural community.
