I’m trying to find a vetting policy for Facebook messages from a university. Seems sort of antithetical to social media, yet should the message go through a review to be sure it is complete with official endorsement?
Dave from Area 224 here — I should point out that the 15-minutes advice is for newbies!
I know a lot of readers of this blog, and mine, are vets — and they either have their social media time down to a science, or they’re spending much more than 15 minutes. Or both…
But, as I keep working with folks who are getting rolling — and spending a lot of my time in the real estate industry these days — the 15 minutes and “Holy Trinity” approach leads to a really good way to track the ROTI — Return on Time invested.
Hi Jeannie – As far as vetting policies for a Facebook site goes, you’ve come to the wrong guy. Our campus doesn’t have any vetting policies for our Facebook page, but as with our other social media presences and blogs, we try to abide by a simple rule: that posters keep their comments focused on the topic, cordial and respectful in tone, and as brief as possible.
wow!! that’s really fast, it often takes some more time to me, I use to spend hours in facebook and myspace, about 2 hours a day…
I think it’s useful for sontrolling the time people waste in social media apps, sending messages, etc.

Please share protocol samples. Thanks.
