OK schoolers, this article elaborates on something I feel constantly about social media. Here's a quote. CONSUME THIS ARTICLE!

Leaving the risk of real physical harm aside, the issue with this constant "tabbing" between real-life tasks and Facebook is what economists and psychologists call "switching costs," the loss in productivity associated with changing from one task to another. Famed author Dr. Srikumar Rao attributes mindfulness over multitasking as one of his ten steps to happiness at work. He argues that constant distractions lead to late and poor-quality output, negatively impacting our sense of self-worth.

Reading more and more of Jose's stuff on Huffpost. Excellent perspective that MUST be listened to. No matter our politics...we agree on the tech/politics intersection. Here's a quote.

"Because of the one-way nature of television, leaders have been trained to talk down to their constituents. But because of the two-way street that is the Internet, politicians must learn how to listen and engage the very people they're accountable for. Many pols have adapted, at least in the superficial sense. They blog. They create YouTube channels and Facebook fan pages. They drop Twitter in almost every other paragraph to sound and seem like they "get it.""

I've been missing a few events lately myself, so I did a little research and figured out how to automatically sync my facebook events with my google calendar (my scheduling lifeblood!). Our team uses google calendar for EVERYTHING and it's a snap to learn. So use this great blog post to set up this feature yourself!

This is a great and balanced article that describes how many more races are leveraging technology, building email lists, and raising money online. Another key point is that technology is being used to rally support/troops for policy issues. Great article.

I bet there are 500 articles like this each month from local newspapers across the nation. "Lawmakers using more social media tools to communicate". That's a VERY good thing. When we take the communication medium back...and open a direct link between those elected to serve and those who elect them, we have more representation.

If you still believe that you don't have time to leverage Facebook, you should reconsider.

Have you been wondering how to create a badge to promote your FaceBook Group? Most of the social media "sidebar widgets" allow ONLY for your personal profile or page to be displayed. PageBadge solves this problem. I walked right through and completed my page badge in about 2 minutes. Excellent use of my time!
