Subject: Re: [MUSEUM-L] Social Media Stats
Heather,
If you have a fan page on Face Book it will send you weekly updates with some general tracking information (for example, number of posts made on your page, new fans added, etc) As for twitter: there's nothing that they put out to help you track information. For them I would suggest keeping track of how many followers you get from week to week. You can also keep track of how many of your tweets are being retweeted and how many replies you're generating (conversations going back and forth between you and your followers). With social media it's all about the conversations being generated and how far your information gets out on the net. So keeping tabs on how many different places your information shows up is a great start.

Hello again - as an archivist, I often have the opportunity to share ways t=
o store (mostly) paper-based materials. Occasionally I have the opportunity=
to house artifacts (thanks again for all the Native American headdress sto=
rage information!). I usually do not have to give tips for the best method=
s to permanently display items. I'm hoping this list can again come to my r=
escue with some advice. One of our local churches has a cloth banner (10 x=
5 feet) with gold and blue painted stars sewn on. The stars represent cong=
regation members who served / died during World War II. The banner is curr=
ently tacked to the wall. The heritage committee is interested in the corre=
ct way to display the banner. Their wish is to keep the banner on display =
"forever". I haven't personally inspected the condition of the piece, but =
have heard second-hand that it is still in pretty good condition (some pain=
t flaking and color fading). I'm guessing the piece should be mounted someh=
ow behind UV filtering glass, but thought I would turn to the experts for a=
dvice. Suggestions?
