Honored to have been the moderator of an awesome discussion titled "X-pocalypse: The Fragility of Digital Public Spaces" yesterday (April 10, 2025) with @amir.blue, Chris Moody and John Ploumitsakos as part of #CWABoulder at @colorado.edu. Watch the replay: vimeo.com/event/4978630

Really interesting article to check out. “There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution or an obvious answer. It’s a bit like deciding how a newsroom decides to position itself against fake news, or to what extent they decide to give a platform to extremist views – it’s complicated.”

How many White Christmases has your city had? See holiday snow history. Look up how snowy your hometown has been for winter holidays going back to 1940

Boulder, CO has been snowy on 40% of Christmases since 1940! ❄️❄️❄️❄️ www.washingtonpost.com/weather/inte...

"Bluesky presents the same value as any other social media channel. It presents an opportunity for users to engage with and discuss research"

👏 @altmetric.com

Yet another example of why 'and' is better than 'or.'

Tapping into data from Bluesky Altmetric has expanded its tracking capabilities by integrating data from Bluesky, the rapidly growing social media platform with over 24 million users.

"There is a changing environment with a more diverse pool of platforms for people to discuss research on social media"

"However, we still see a number of discussions about research happening on X. So from purely a data perspective, there would be no reason for us to stop indexing X."

Like @kakape.bsky.social, I also don't agree with everything in this article but second that it is worth reading for the reason Kai states well below - choosing deliberately whatever the path. 👏 🤔

"A perfunctory online presence can do more reputational harm than good."

Yes, this takes time and work but take it from someone whose entire career is based on listening, it is very much worth it.

#STFU does not mean to stop talking/posting entirely. We obviously benefit from sharing and hearing many different perspectives. It does mean being a bit more intentional though and giving sincere listening to everyone when they are talking in meetings, on social media, wherever.

Dan Lyons has many great points in this thoughtful book on the art (and science) of shutting the **** up and listening.

Cover of the book, "The Power of Keeping Your Mouth Shut" by Dan Lyons. Book is vertically propped on my office window sill with blurred Flatirons and rest of my building in the background.

"Something amazing happens when you listen and pay fierce attention. The other person becomes more interesting. It’s not that they seem more interesting, but they actually are more interesting." 👏 👏 👏

As they say, there is always more to the story... "She feels that Twitter and other social media fed into a larger problem in the industry. Editors want more work, faster, and can start to see clicks and engagement as the only measure of success." 👏 Shamira Ibrahim

"Continue keeping our online community vibrant by sharing your thoughts, photos, memories and questions. Go Buffs!" 2/2

Original caption - "The most common question at Thanksgiving tables this week will be "what are you thankful for?" As social media managers for admissions, campus, athletics and alumni on the CU-Boulder campus the answer is easy: we are thankful for YOU!" 1/2

This photo was taken and shared 10 years ago today. I remain 100% thankful for our community and the vibrance everyone brings to @colorado.edu every day. #highered

WashU Expert: ‘X-odus’ creates growing challenges for brand marketing If there is one thing that is constant in marketing, it's that things are constantly changing, according to Michael Wall, a marketing expert at WashU Olin Business School. As social media users flock ...

"Brands must overcome the challenge of connecting with fragmented audiences whose social media preferences and platform choices reflect diverse — and sometimes conflicting — values and interests." 👏 source.washu.edu/2024/11/wash...

Welcome to the official account for the University of Colorado Boulder, aka CU Boulder, in @bsky.app! We are excited to be here. Stay tuned... 💛🖤

When I do post it is mostly in LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/matthewrd.... So if you play in LI too, lets connect there as well. I will also try to get more active here!

Well hi there Blueskiers? :) I have been here for a while but dang, this is my first post. My job is so much on the organizational listening end (happy to talk with anyone about what that is) that I rarely post myself anymore on any platforms.
