Eric Lepping, Balancing Tech – Balancing Human

Authenticity & Automation: How Much Is Too Much?

As Social Media evolves we’re given new management tools all of the time.  Programs like HootSuite and TweetDeck allow us to keep an eye on those we follow and get our messages out when we want them to go out and get those messages out from multiple accounts.  While these tools can optimize our messaging they can also allow us to become “social spammers”.

“Balancing Tech, Balancing Human” will examine how these tools can work for us and against us.  We’ll talk about how to best use automation, how to be authentic in our messages, and how to avoid the dreaded over-share.
