Molly- great suggestion to use ping.fm for one-stop status updates to all social media sites. Let us know if we can answer any questions about creating an online presence, and don’t forget to come back and tell us how the Board received your recommendations!

Ms. Askanase,
I’m so glad to have found your blog! I’m a college intern currently creating an online presence for Roots of American Music, a non-profit in Cleveland, Ohio. At the end of the summer, I am presenting all of my work to the Board of Directors, and am glad to have your blog to assist me in answering any difficult questions I may be asked.

By the way, in response to #3, I’m sure you’ve heard of ping.fm? I love it. It’s a website that automatically updates your status on several social media sites. Once you get it set up, it takes a lot of the hassle out.

Sorry Debra! Yes exactly too old to use or understand social media. The argument is that anyone over 40 gets too freaked out by social media to actually use it.

Nancy, the animation slide show is FANTASTIC! It’s a humorous way of addressing many objections to social media – and it is dead-on. Thank you for linking to this animation. I urge everyone to view it, and pass it along, too!
