[kwlug-disc] KWLUG is changing

[Chamunks]

Since this is a completely separate subsection of this topic.  Social media
and networking.  I've been going out of my way for the past few months to
review social media as a whole listening to social media podcasts and other
misc sources of information about that industry.  What I think that we
could or should potentially do is put something on our to-do list which
will be like a Linkedin organization page for professional exposure.  Then
a Google plus to cash in on that instant Google indexing of latest
information.  Depending on if we get a new location that is not only free
but also has reliable internet we can dedicate to a potential live stream
we could make yet another attempt to do this if we use
OpenBroadcastSoftware OBS https://obsproject.com/download

LinkedIn has the added benefit of being connected to most companies and
educational facilities in ways that are generally unclear on networks like
twitter and facebook.

Google apparently instantly indexes things that are posted to Google Plus
so pushing videos, audio recordings and information about our blog
posts/meetings will boost our exposure a lot.

Twitter is more of a news and support system than it is anything else.
Ideally posting things like meeting times a few times is perfectly okay.
Twitter mantra, repost repost repost.  Remember its a high volume stream of
"social" which means that if someone isn't staring at their stream for the
precise moment of the day that we've posted our announcements they'll get
buried under others. Scheduling tweets are not a bad idea.  Also, there is
a pinned tweet function where we can pin a link to the latest most relevant
information to keep people in the know for those who actually directly
interact with our Twitter page.

Finally, this is *Social Media* meaning that it's not only acceptable to
brag about the stuff that we do but reaching out and talking to people is
encouraged.  We can reach out to those who do talks via twitter and schools
or etc who are involved in content that we're showcasing is encouraged.

Last two cents before I knock out for the evening.
Meetup can be good but if its a paid service even for not for profit
scenarios like ours, it seems like a bad plan.
