Managing the Flow of Information in Social Networks: How do you do it?

Managing the Flow of Information in Social Networks: How do you do it? | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it
From elearnmag.acm.org - August 25, 2011 7:47 AM

- Prioritize. The reality is that we can't keep up. Find your points of focus and follow those. Think about what type of information will improve your work. How much can you realistically read during a given week? (Hat tip to Alan Levine aka @CogDog.)
- Personalize. Decide what you want to know, need to know, and who specifically you want to follow. Where is the most current and relevant information coming from? Customize your own unique feed.
- Promote. Establish your own professional profile in one or more social networking sites.
- Participate. Join in the discussions and contribute as a participant in the exchange of information. Share your expertise and seek the expertise of others.
- Persevere. Managing the flow of information is not a one-time task. Be prepared to revisit your news feed periodically to add new sources and remove those that are no longer helpful.
