First 2×2
2 Connections
1) No matter how you write, or what you write, there will always be someone that will not be a fan of your page and they will not agree with what you say. So it is a never ending battle to write to a group as a whole. You may have a general idea of what you want to catch people’s attention with, but someone will always complain.
2) While I agree that there should be variety on social media pages and whatnot, I hate the random photos that show up in your Newsfeed that your friends have liked that come from some page that has a random name that posts random info/photos/posts because that is just pointless to me.
2 Questions
1) I understand the main concept of having a conversation, but how exactly do you have a conversation on Twitter? It seems strange to me because you have to tag everyone with their “@handle”.
2) So if you write for social media, it will be shared. Is there anywhere that you can write for a smaller audience, but still online?
Second 2×2

1) Listening before writing is like thinking before writing. No matter what medium you are writing for. It can save your rear.
2) In regards to EdgeRank, I had no idea that Facebook was that intricate. I thought it was just all about who you are friends with and what they like and comment on.
2 Questions
1) Should you write for Facebook in the same way that you would do an interview? Such as no double barreled questions? Because the link said you want people to like, share, comment, or click your link, so you need to pick one action and stick to it. Is that right?
2) Has anybody actually tried the guidelines for when to post on their Facebook? I’m interested to try this with our business pages!
Third 2×2
2 Connections
1) Honestly, I have never written a Tweet with the hopes that it would get retweeted. I find it amusing that there are rules for how to get the likeliness of a post being retweeted raised higher.
2) To me, it would be harder to write with your audience in mind when writing a Twitter post because it seems more public than Facebook. Some people can name every single one of their Facebook friends but Twitter has a more public realm.
2 Questions
1) Are creative titles always more effective when writing for social media? Because I know for this class, we use fun titles that are sometimes completely NOT related to our posts. In other words, is it better to attract an audience with a creative title that may or may not have anything to do with the post?
2) What are some typical guidelines for writing with excellence for Twitter? I understand the concept of writing something that stands out from everyone else, but is there an idea of what that would be?
