As our fan base grows, we’re not really sure what we are doing successfully. “ Should I always determine my purpose before I give it a go online, or is it just good to be in the mix trying things out?” http://idyr.wordpress.com/
J Do experiment, but beware your digital identity and footprint Identify your audience Identify the need: what do you hope to achieve?

Consider how to monitor and how you’ll deal with successes, feedback and improvements. Get the team on board, but don’t force them. Use students! Get the balance right between promotion and providing valuable information Respect boundaries; it is their space
