Here we are tuning in to Facebook for Reporting and Storytelling from Duke in Durham, NC. #nuwebinar http://pic.twitter.com/HIdbaQcw
#nuwebinar more than half of #Facebook users do it through mobile , 500 millions around the world
Useful numbers from @Lavrusik: avg. Facebook users has 150 friends, 60% return daily. #nuwebinar
I promise only half are pictures of my kid. @stephditta: Four billion pieces of content shared daily on Facebook. Wow. #nuwebinar- MT @ssadowski: FB subscribe seems useful for a journalist but not for a brand; could solve issues for personal/pro journo #nuwebinar
Journos can manage personal & professional FB'ing with subscribe option and only one profile/page. #nuwebinar
"there's always a lot of confusion around terminology." well said, @Lavrusik #nuwebinar- it's easy to embed a subscribe feature on your website. not sure i'd be comfy with that for me. guess that's why i'm an editor. #nuwebinar
@Poynter So how is subscribing to someone on Facebook any different from following a journalist on Twitter? #nuwebinar
diferencias entre suscripción a un perfil y las páginas de fan en Facebook #nuwebinar http://pic.twitter.com/r8DTNqLO- RT @ssadowski: i still think a fan page is more useful for a newspaper. subscribe better for individual journos. #nuwebinar
Learning about who really owns my social media pages at the #nuwebinar. With FB, I own the page not my company.- "storytelling doesn't changed based on the platform." @Lavrusik ha, except in twitter. fewer adjectives! #nuwebinar
A shared story with a thumbnail gets 20% more clicks @Lavrusik - Facebook features for reporting #nuwebinar @Poynter poy.nu/ojkbDm- Photos are very, very important for increasing reach. We've seen our reach jump thanks to stuff like ow.ly/aXmI3 #nuwebinar
Videos work better on Fb when related to Breaking News says @lavrusik #nuwebinar- #nuwebinar Lavrusik explains that FB has recently increased the # of characters for a posting
I think I need another screen... Listening to #nuwebinar by @Lavrusik about using Facebook for Reporting cc: @Poynter ow.ly/i/Dabc
