  2. Morning! @sarahlay here. I'll be taking the reins and reigning over #lgovsm today. Join me at 1pm for tool talk: what to use, where to find!
  3. Today we're talking about tools - what's in your kit, how do you discover & explore new stuff & what you'd recommend to others #lgovsm
  4. First up, introductions
  5. All aboard! I'll(@sarahlay) be your captain for the next hour as we talk about tools on #lgovsm. Pls tweet a brief intro to yourself!
  6. For those who don't know me (@sarahlay) I'm on maternity leave from online comms @derbyshirecc *waves* #lgovsm
  7. Hello I'm Karen I work in local gov web and comms tweeting as my personal self in lunchtime #lgovsm
  8. And now, on with the questions
  9. First question - what's your tool kit for? Listening? Communicating? Engaging? The sought after combo? #lgovsm
  10. @lgovsm biggest and most used tool for me is twitter central really #lgovsm
  11. #lgovsm: I use Twitter, LinkedIn, Flickr, youtube, google alerts & I do admit to being digitally illiterate!
  12. #lgovsm I use twitter, twitpic, LinkedIn and have dabbled with Wordpress (for AC) and yammer. I'm not a tech bod either.
  13. There was a shout-out for Google Alerts
  14. What tools are important? Google alerts is pretty essential to see whats being said outside of Twitter and Facebook #lgovsm
  15. @danslee I use google alerts too - useful when you're busy working on other things #lgovsm
  16. Unsurprisingly Twitter got a lot of love
  17. I'm assuming we all use Twitter in our kit given we're here! How do you use it? What would you say to someone considering it? #lgovsm
  18. #lgovsm I agree with @dominiccampbell & use Twitter for micro blogging, conversations & relationships. The DM facility is also good #LbyS
  19. #lgovsm Twe.pe - an excellent Twitter tool for managing your social recruiting time > great post @andyheadworth
  20. I'd also say that 'comm,on sense' is a vital part of the social media tool kit that often gets overlooked... #lgovsm
  21. Still in development but Twitter, Flickr and youtube with migration to survey money etc when appropriate . #lgovsm
  22. Lots of love for Twitter as a place for conversation & relationships. I'd add to that it's a place for discovery. #lgovsm
  23. Prompted by @ImHelenJ's question 'how can a team best approach tweeting - my experience is all as an individual'
  24. Hello #lgovsm I'm listening :-) - does anyone use co-tweet - would be interested to know what its strengths are?
  25. . @imhelenj I've tried co-tweet out. Found it a little clunky but think it had some good workflow / alert features #lgovsm
