NTEN Water Cooler Chat 4/9

Your friendly neighborhood Socialfish will be "IN" the NTEN Office Hours Communications Chat Room every Thursday (that's today!!) at 3 pm EST. Got burning questions about social media strategy? Or just want to hang out and shoot the breeze and get a break from work? Now's your chance!

Last week, we had a fairly intense conversation about setting up a blog for your association: whether it's a good idea to ask publications staff to switch to blogging (no!), whether controversy helps (yes!), and how blogging (specifically, maintaining momentum) is actually quite difficult and you absolutely have to find people who will do it for the love, whether staff or members, or it will fail.

Then, true to form, we cheered ourselves up with these addictive sources of non-work-related amusement: Unnecessary Quotes, Twitfave, #oneliner, and of course, Beer Haiku Daily.


Whether the conversation is deep or just a nice break from the dullness of your daily routine, though, we're all about sharing. Pick our brains, we'll tell you our take on things.
