Recap of #AskAg Twitter Chat on Social Media for Development
This article is cross-posted from the Agrilinks' blog.
On September 19 Agrilinks brought together several social media mavens for the latest #AskAg Twitter Chat, "Beyond promotion: Using social media for development." The chat featured Roxy Samii of IFAD, Silke von Brockhausen and Millie Begovic Radojevic of UNDP, and Lindsay Levin of the USAID KDMD Project/Agrlinks team.
Our fastest moving chat yet, the experts and #AskAg community came together to discuss the following questions:
- What is your elevator pitch for using social media for development? How do you make the case?
- Describe one of your primary audiences and how you reach them through social media.
- How do you see your use of social media impacting international development?
- How do you measure the impact of your social media efforts? Quantitative? Qualitative? Are traditional measurements useful?
- How has social media changed the way you share research/resources? Has it made a distinct difference in the way you disseminate information?
- What #globaldev issues resonate most on social media? Why?
