You can share news easily with your facebook friends and get event invites over facebook. We love it when people interact with us on facebook by sharing or commenting on news.

Thanks to everyone who helped promote our page to get us enough “likes” for our own address!

Social Media Tools Recap

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

Kim Burton (far right) discusses web tools with Deanna, Suzanne, Vicki, Angela, Marsha, Barb, and non-member Josephine

Last month, Kim Burton lead a presentation to section leaders about social media tools. We learned about what our section is doing in different web communities:

Twitter is a microblogging site where members post news in short (140 character) sentences. Our twitter is @wichitaswe. You can “follow” us for news and updates.

LinkedIn is a networking site for business contacts. Your “contacts” are made up of coworkers and former colleagues. To connect easily with other SWE members, join our LinkedIn group.

Facebook is a networking site where your “friends” include neighbors, family members, and people you hang out with. You can pass on invitations to SWE events if you Like our Facebook Page.

Finally, we reviewed wordpress as it’s installed on our server and learned to upload photos and post to the blog.

Kim’s presentation is available for download: Social media tools for SWE – presentation (600kb)

If you have any suggestions for how we can use web tools to communicate within or outside our section, let us know!

Wichita SWE section on LinkedIn

Monday, February 7th, 2011

Our SWE section now has a group on LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=3771383.

If you are on LinkedIn, you can join the group and quickly connect with other SWE members. There is also a newsfeed, automatically posted from our website at wichitaswe.org, to keep group members tied in with section events.

If you’re not on LinkedIn, it’s a great website for networking with local professionals! The groups feature keeps you tied in with alumni, industry, or professional groups. The LinkedIn Answers feature is another favorite tool, allowing users to post business-related questions to the LinkedIn community. LinkedIn helps you keep your professional contacts organized and provides lots of helpful career resources. Whether you’re looking for a job or just learning how to improve your career in your existing position, LinkedIn can be very helpful.

The Wichita section of SWE also has a pages on:

  • Facebook a social network that makes it easy for you to share SWE events with friends & family.

  • Twitter, the microblogging website for people who like to know what’s going on around town and the latest news from other organizations.
  • YouTube, where we posted a nifty video from Engineering Expo last year!

Bottom line: if you want to keep up with what’s going on with our section, there are lots of places to go.
