As some of you already know, I started teaching a brand new class, Social Media for Managers, this past spring (and will be teaching it again in Spring 2011). Many organizations are just now starting to adopt social media tools, and many more have yet to do so. Thus, my class has been an interesting learning experience not only for my students but for me as well. Things change so quickly in the social media world! So running this blog, and linking it to a Facebook page (and Twitter account) on the same topic is just one way that I am trying to learn how different social media tools can be used more effectively, on a personal level.
As of yet, I haven’t really figured out what sort of content to put on my Facebook page as opposed to the blog. (Right now, the Facebook page simply posts summaries and links to my posts from the blog.) However, I have discovered that it is much easier to upload a large album of photos, with comments, to Facebook than it is to write a lengthy blog post and select just a handful of photos to supplement it. Thus, I am trying something new today. In honor of the first annual National Fossil Day, I have copied four fossil-related photo albums over to my Fossil Muricidae Facebook page, and am linking them here so that you can view them in all their glory. 🙂
