What is being said in agriculture new/social media?
- Last week, Steve Tucker in Brandon, Nebraska, was interviewed by CNN (video , written post) because of his use of social media while he manages his 4,000 acre farm. "When you can put a name or personality with someone who's actually raising corn and soybeans or actually milking cows, that's the most important thing that's come about in my opinion," Steve told CNN.
- Steve's CNN interview was also the topic of conversation on the regular Twitter #agchat gathering July 7th. Tykerman1 (Steve's Twitter name) said "What I have been surprised with is the GREAT Response from people who are on Agricultures side and appreciate what we do."(sic) Read more from the #agchat question summary and full post of all the #agchat conversations.
- Reminder: #agchat is every Tuesday, 8pm - 10pm Eastern time on Twitter. Learn more at AgChat.
- FYI, multiple Farm Credit Services organizations are using Facebook to help market their services, capture input from customers, and as an information outlet. Some examples include GreenStone FCS, FCS of Mid-Atlantic, Carolina FCS, and FCS of Mid-America.
- From TechCrunch: Why Teens Aren’t Using Twitter: It Doesn’t Feel Safe.
- From Morgan Stanley: How Teens Consume Media.
- More than half of social networkers log on at least once a day, and the majority log on several times a day. Marketing Profs published some quick metrics in Social Media Popularity Skyrockets. This article is a summarization of the Consumer Internet Barometer, a quarterly report produced by the Conference Board and TNS.
