Terminology Retweet (RT): Sharing someone else’s tweet with own followers. More = further reach. Hashtag (#): Symbol in front of word or phrase. Identifies subject matter. Trending: When a particular hashtag is being used frequently, that topic is “trending” 13

Terminology Handle Username, symbol in front. GAO Direct Message (DM): Between individuals, not public (except for mistakes) Modified Tweet (MT): Same as retweet, but original content is edited Hat Tip (h/t): Acknowledge originator of content 14

Advocacy News/Information: “Inside the beltway,” articles, charts, RT’s, etc. Education on ABA issues/legislation: Letters, articles, websites, facts, other groups/tweets, etc. Increasing issue relevance: using hashtags, joining other groups, live tweeting, Q&A, etc. 15

Advocacy Driving constituents to take action: write letters, phone calls, op-eds, tweet & retweet Communicating directly with legislators: 100% in Senate, 90% House. Mentions, retweets, etc. (e.g., ABA Day) Internal information: Keeping track of ABA issues and staying on top of current issues 16

Best Practices Length: Leave room for RT, comments and handle; Under 100 = 17% higher Frequency: 3-7 per day; relevant, but not overwhelming Timing: 11AM-6PM; FB: weekends & lunch, Twitter: mid-week and leaving work; Hootsuite Pictures: More RT’s Stay Current: Late= Irrelevant 17

Voice: Professional, but human; Talk with, not at; NO: OMG, <3,, foul language, harsh words; spelling and grammar important (rare exceptions) Interacting: Respond to all questions; interact with followers & other organizations; RT’s are gold What NOT to Do: Best Practices 18

What NOT To Do “I thought I was posting on my personal account!” 19

Insensitive/Inappropriate: What NOT To Do 20

The Future Be on the look out for relevant content: articles, charts, quotes, facts, websites, pictures, etc. Let us know when an issue is “hot” or when we should stay away Future advocacy around single issue: coordinated effort with traditional advocacy, grassroots and social media 21
