Social Media and Conservation
October 3, 2011
David (WhySharksMatter) over at Southern Fried Science has a great presentation now up on the web. It was delivered at the 2nd International Marine Conservation Congress last May.
A great overview of social media. Congrats, David! With so much information production in this information age, social media provides us with guidance on how to sort through it.
Of course, I think the real takeaway here is not that IUCN or other large institutions should take up Twitter or make a Facebook page, but rather that they stay aware of who are the leading ‘information mavens’ with huge followers. A lot can be accomplished with a friendly email informing this small group. (The original post is here.)
