Get smarter on how we cooperate/build mutual networks 1. share perma link to upcoming classes and system check 2. Use the WizIQ class announcement feature for advertising outside of WIZIQ. No signup required! Note the statistics of our group, it lends creditability to all of us. Only Nellie is ahead of us. 3. No need to point to my blog. Still have tab for TV guide like descriptions but that can wait. Use WIZIQ widget on your blog and/or (google) calendar. Note I still hold the domain name when we want it. Our Edupunk now shows on Google search. 4. We now should make FB page central Hub. Only active team members have posting rights. It is an advertising page first. All comments and discussions with others should be under the posting. Too many posts hide the main purpose... events, notices and upcoming classes. Use "share" more often, almost exclusively. This creates much better exposure and lets you easily see comments related to your class. chit-chat is OK within comments on postings. Pointing to your blog or FB page is good in chit-chat. I will put official FB page likes as page of your choice - personal of fanpage. This becomes Purpose Driven social networking - differentiate between functions of FB. You should post your weekly class to FB page with a link to WizIQ class. More info can be added as comment, like link to blog posting. SKYPE for Team Edupunk
