What are the essential tools that every IT person should have in the modern IT world? That is the idea behind a new Kingston University module called IT Toolbox. Over a 12 week semester, first year students will be guided through a series of activities such as blogging, running a server, client and server side scripting, search, social networking and problem solving. Each of those activities will be published here and anyone is welcome to join in.

Building reputation for content using Twitter

I have been talking recently at Hyper Island's Master Class series about the relationships between reputation, Twitter and search results. After a search online I thought I should try and diagram some of the actions we take so that they become a repeatable process.

This is the first of a series of diagrams that I am working on to help us explain the role of social within my agency the OTHER media.

Here is the diagram as a PDF: Link Building Through Twitter (43 KB)

If you find this useful please link to it or retweet it for me. If you think it is wrong or could be improved then please let me know.

"Thank followers who retweet with DM" is different from the others in that it is a guideline on how to converse not just a media/technology/social touch point. There are situations when a thank you DM makes it feel as if you are marketing something/someone when your original thought was to add value to your network. Especially when they are so generic they might as well be automated. If someone adds something to the RT you can for example comment on that addition, ie. more of a conversation. But again, I am touching on guidelines rather than flow.

Good work.
