| Abstract/Contents: | "Traditional forms of communication can take a relatively long time to produce and are generally thought of as one-sided. On the other hand, social media outlets (e.g., blogs, facebook, twitter, others) serve as a communication tool that allows for rapid dissemination of timely information and encourages reader feedback and comments. In 2009, a website about turfgrass diseases (www.turfdiseases.org) was developed using Blogger. To make the information available in a broad range of formats, the website content was integrated with other social media platforms including Facebook and Twitter. Information to the different sites is posted as follows: 1) original blog updates are posted to the blog at turfdiseases.org; 2) blog links, photos, and other turf disease-relevant content are posted to Facebook; and 3) all blog and facebook posts as well as additional interactions posted to @turfdiseases on twitter. As of 14 March 2011, a total of 1610 Likes, 614 Followers and 140 Followers were tracking Turf Diseases on Facebook, Twitter, and turfdiseases.org, respectively. Since 2010, a total of 372,951 post views and 134,767 pageviews were recorded on facebook and turfdiseases.org, respectively. Although more difficult to track, @turfdiseases reached 3,456 people and had 11,271 impressions based on the last 21 tweets as of 14 March 2011. The use of social media continues to evolve into an important and rapid information dissemination tool which encourages user interaction and enhances reader and/or user experience." |
