In case you didn’t know about it, the association community has its own wiki for tracking which associations are using social media. It was started by association social media pioneer Jeff De Cagna, but Lindy Dreyer of SocialFish has taken it over lately. Of course it’s a wiki, so the pages themselves are actually created by the users. ANYONE can go on that site and create or edit a page.
I just added a page for NARI Metro DC, one of the associations I manage. I just put in our Facebook Page and our twitter account. Some of the other associations on there have more detailed listings including stories of why they started social media.
So if you’re just dipping your toes into social media, check it out and see what others are doing. And if you’re actually doing social media, then create an account and make a page! (Hint: if you’re nervous about the coding, just find a page you like and copy the source code.)
