Top : Writing For Social Media: Even professional journalists and writers are paying attention to the idea that writing for social media is a different thing with different skills, than writing for print. That's our topic.
Articles:Ways to make room for good writing on social networks | Poynter. - by Roy Peter Clarkam experimenting with this new form of communication and interaction, trying to understand what it means to be a "writer" on Facebook, especially in a cultural context where many don't think of the activities of social networks as acts of literacy at all. To make sense of this for myself, I want to share over the course of the next month my first impressions of what it has been like for an old dog to learn some new tricks (thanks to the help of some young Poynter pups). I'll share what I've learned about concise writing, about riffing on the work of others, theme building and serialization, marketing, branding and developing test readers. While none of this is unique to social networks, something feels quite new when all of these converge on a single platform. Please forgive me if some of these insights are old news for you, or if they seem presumptuous coming from someone so new to the game. I am a compulsive sharer who learns from sharing, so I hope that what is working for me as a writer on Facebook and Twitter might work for you, too. (Added: 9-Dec-2010 Hits: 37 )
