The Difference Between a Page and Profile on Facebook
o Facebook Profiles are for people/individuals
o Facebook Pages are for organizations, companies and businesses
o Main differences between Pages and Profiles:
− on a profile, someone is your “friend”; on a page, someone is your
“fan”
− with a profile, you can send messages to one or more friends, that go
directly to their inbox on Facebook; as a page, you can only send
updates
− pages and profiles can both post status updates, links, photos, etc.
that appear in their fans’/friends’ news feeds
− pages cannot “add” people as friends

CONTENT IN SOCIAL MEDIA
THROUGH CROWD SOURCING
Purpose of Content in Social Media
•
Evolution the type of content available on the Web




from 1990s the majority of web users were consumers of content
(created by a relatively small amount of publishers)
from 2000s, user-generated content has become increasingly
popular on the web and more users participate in content creation,
rather than just consumption
quality of user-generated content varies from: excellent to abuse
and spam (Agichtein, 2008)
task of identifying high-quality content sites based on user
contributions - social media sites - becomes more important

The E-Politician needs a personal social media strategy
which should contain:

•
Personal Blog
A personal blog should be
opened as part of the
personal website. It should
be used to present topics in

links to pictures and videos.
An advantage is the two-way

presented, citizen posts can
be screened before final
publishing

"government" incorporated into the
page name
− users are likelier to engage with a page
if its administrator is clearly represented
− "government" distinction differentiates a
city's official page from other closely
affiliated organizations (like tourism
offices or chambers of commerce)
− elected officials who use Facebook must
clearly identify their pages with a
distinction (City of … — Mayor's Office)

City News
The short messaging services Twitter should be used to transmit “hot
news”. It should be used to make meetings of the city council more
transparent as well as to promote the city (“event twitters”).
•
City TV
Use You-Tube as part of the city marketing (short videos about the city,
events and people)
•
City internal social network
Use social media also to improve communication and collaboration
between employees of the city. The internal network should also be
analysed by politicians and city decision makers, because it may contain
valuable hints what could be improved.

SOCIAL MEDIA - IMPACT
 How to evaluate the Impacts
•
•
•
•
•
•
Public managers face real challenges in evaluating the impacts of their
online participatory activities
The most prominent challenge: currently, there are no officially allowed
or approved tools available that go beyond mere quantitative counts of
website traffic
At present:
o most agencies have no formal metrics in place
o measurement tools provided by vendors are not used
Most agencies using social media count their friends and number of likes
on Facebook, and their number of Twitter followers
Some are using rudimentary measurement techniques offered by thirdparty service provides (e.g. Google Analytics or Facebook Insights)
such data do offer indicators of interest in the online activities used by
agencies to engage the public, but do not provide information about the
impacts and outcomes of such activities
www.fupol.eu
www.facebook.com/fupol
SOCIAL MEDIA - IMPACT
 How to engage citizens
•
Social Media can be a valuable asset to the policy maker interested in
public opinion, particularly in accessing segments of the population
such as youth, who are displaying declining levels of trust in
government and largely account for declining election turnouts
•
Youth display high participation levels in social media
•
Policy makers can gain access to this segment of the population through
social networking sites and involve citizens in the design phase of the
policy making cycle
•
It is important to actively engage citizens
•
A recent research provides an insight into the engagement strategy
www.fupol.eu
www.facebook.com/fupol
SOCIAL MEDIA - IMPACT
a. The best time to post is
between 8 PM and 7 AM
•
•
The analysis showed it was
best to post when fans were
not at work: between the
hours 8 PM and 7 AM
Post during non-busy hours
to
increase
likes
and
comments
The best time to post
•
•
The following pictures are taken from a study covering user engagement of
the top 100 retailers during a six-month period in 2011 (BuddyMedia, 2011)
they are equally valid for citizen engagem ent
www.fupol.eu
www.facebook.com/fupol
SOCIAL MEDIA - IMPACT
b. 1-2 Posts/Day and 1-4
Posts/Week is the best
frequency for posting
•
•
Posting once or twice per
day and one to four times
per week, results in a 40%
higher respectively 71%
higher
engagement rate
compared with posting more
than three times per day
respectively more than five
posts per week
Apparently this creates an
information overflow and
users
are
getting
less
interested

SOCIAL MEDIA - IMPACT
c. Short posts are better
•
•
Posts with 80 characters or
less in length receive 66%
higher
engagement
than
longer posts
More concise posts – those
between one and 40
characters – generate the
most engagement
Short posts are better
www.fupol.eu
www.facebook.com/fupol
SOCIAL MEDIA - IMPACT
d. Questions tend to spark
a dialogue
•
Posts with questions generate
more than double the
amount of comments that
non-question posts
“Question” Posts generate Comment rates
double that of “non-question” Posts
General citizens might be interested in knowing how a public
participation program impacted policy decisions
www.fupol.eu

SOCIAL MEDIA - IMPACT
 Social Media and Policy Modelling
•
Social Media are a powerful tool for participatory democracy
o they have been used extensively by groups for grassroots
mobilization, exchange of ideas and information, and campaigning
•
Participatory democracy and citizen empowerment can be further
enriched by using Social Media (with techniques such as opinion
mining) to bridge the gap between citizen and elected leaders in two
main ways:
o Exchange of information through social media channels e.g.
citizens can contact their elected representative and get answers
online
o Leaders ‘listening in’ to the opinions of the people, as
expressed on the Internet, with the assistance of experts
