Abstract
In this talk Brian Kelly will describe social media's roots in supporting personal communications and resource sharing. Although initially used by early adopters, and also used in personal as well as professional use, the benefits to support organisation marketing and user engagement activities are now becoming better appreciated.
In this talk Brian Kelly will describe the role social media can play in such activities and highlight some of the dangers in seeking to make use of social media in inappropriate ways. The importance of gathering and intepretting evidence of how social media is being used will also be discussed.
