Key quotes:

  • "One way I use this: If I’m up way past my bedtime and don’t want the world to know I have insomnia, I write or forward posts to my wall set to “Only Me.” In the morning when I get up, the first thing I do is publish my previous late-night ramblings and serendipitous search results to my wall."
  • "Instead, click on the little v-shaped icon in the upper right corner and choose “Copy link to Tweet” like this: Once copied, you’ll have to manually go to your Facebook page and paste the URL in a “Create Post” window in Facebook, again with “Only Me” selected and whatever tags you want to include."
  • "Most other social media and web applications have a share-to-Facebook option that will pull up a window like this that will let you add tags and save your content in one step: When I send content to Facebook (or to my wall from within Facebook), I add hashtags to anything I think I will want to retrieve later … which is most of what I post to myself."

  • "Our team also uses Reply to prioritize certain conversations — for example customer support issues."
  • "Reply isn’t the only tool available to help make social media engagement easier and minimize the time it takes to find and respond to social media posts and messages."
  • "You can check out the notes for it here (and feel free to take the entire course if you’re interested!) Having a clear voice and tone guide is especially helpful when there are multiple people engaging on social media on behalf of a brand."
