Lynda.com was a very useful tutorial resourse. The options for which are practically limitless.

I was able to view almost the entirety of the Twitter/Facebook video from the production lab although my computer has been out of commission lately. Learning the difference between the importance of “Most Recent” vs. “Top News” feeds on Facebook was crucial.

Also important was the introduction to Twitter. I was not very familiar with this medium prior to the video, although this was a great introduction to let me learn the basics. I found that Lynda was very knowledgeable and understandable in her breakdown of Twitter and the explanation of how to use at mentions as well as hash tags effectively.

One strategy that I will be sure to utilize is the incorporation of the social plugins on Facebook. I need to enhance my blog through Facebook integration in an effective manner to ensure that my efforts are not futile. I learned how to add a “Like Box” for my blog to help attract and track my blogs readership through the metrics associated with Facebook. This allows my blog to be available to the public as well as free marketing on a 24/7 basis.

I am not sure what my other social media engines will be, however I assume I will be returning to Lynda for help once I decide (or to help in my decision).
