At last month’s meeting, the group discussed the idea of a Maui SMUG social media makeover. The concept is to create a real life case study by crafting a social media presence for a local organization. This social media makeover exercise provides valuable insights into the process of establishing an organization’s social media strategy and tactics.

At this month’s meeting, the panelists will walk through a high level theoretical overview of this process and then lead a discussion with the group to define the selection criteria for choosing a social media makeover candidate.

Time permitting, additional topics for discussion may include:

• Dania Katz leading a discussion on social media etiquette
• Google+, what is it what are it’s features, how does it differ from other social media
• Group discussion of favorite social networks and apps
• Group input about what has and hasn’t worked for their businesses

As you know, our own MauiSMUG.com site was hacked a couple of weeks ago, the backend portion redirected to some .ru target. Jeff Bennett did a fabulous job getting the site back up again, though we lost many of our uploaded graphics.

Not long after, Liza Pierce’s blog AMauiBlog.com was hacked, the site redirected to one poisoned with a trojan. I found the offending file and replaced it with a clean one, but it was soon replaced again with the poisoned one. The hosting service was of no help whatsoever, so again through Jeff Bennett’s heroic efforts, the blog was moved to a new host and restored.

With all this hacking activity going on, we decided it might be a good subject to address at the upcoming MauiSMUG meeting, along with some other topics, like different methods of upload photos on the fly and adding value using Facebook API’s.

All beginner and advanced social media users in our Maui community are invited to join us on Thursday, June 30 for a great discussion on keeping your blog safe and other insights from panel and participants alike.
