Favorite Social Media Tweets from #FNCE

Twitter is indeed a gift this afternoon my fellow RD's are in Boston at our National Meeting #FNCE (food and nutrition expo on twitter) and they were tweeting the best social media tips, I just had to cut and paste my favorites in a post. Even if you are not a dietitian we can all learn something.

Be sure to follow #FNCE for great nutrition and health tips, cutting edge research and connect with great folks :-) 

and for social media tips follow @SocialMediaRDs 

I couldn't be there this year but one of the speakers is mentioning me and my recipe app :-) 

maybe next year I can attend and tweet live from the event :-)

• Your expertise is available everywhere in seconds. Why jump in? For reach, there are 500 million on Fbook, 18 million on Twitter

• Dos of #socialmedia being generous, acknowledge ppl for what they're doing, be honest and respectful to others, be grateful, interact #FNCE

• having consistent information, instead of being on #socialmedia all the time #FNCE

• one way to build up followers is to follow a trend, such as #FNCE if you follow people that you're interested in, they usually follow u back

• Who to connect to on what platform? #Twitter for local professionals, #RDs, foodies, editors #FNCE #socialmedia

• #Blogger: whoever commented on your blog. #Facebook, friends and readers. #Linkedin, your online resume (business hub)

• The good thing about #Twitter is that you can unfollow someone (without offending them) that just keeps talking about themselves.#FNCE

• Don't talk about the same topic over and over, sounds like you're preaching #Twitter #FNCE #Socialmedia

• Follow a live event you can't attend or if you can't be at all sessions at the same time, e.g. #copa #blogherfood #FNCE

• If you have a #Facebook pg, FB insight can give you the demographics of who "likes" your pg. #FNCE

• @HealthCastleGlo conclusion "#socialmedia can be a great tool to further your goals" #FNCE

• Also, giving incentives for people to join your #facebook pg! Prizes!#FNCE

My favorite one by far was the one about having fun with social media isn't that what its all about :-)
