The document describes the experiences of several students who served as "class concierges" on different social media platforms for one week. It discusses their channel choices, the types of posts they made, and reflections on what they did well and could improve. The students used platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+ and posted class reminders, updates, and notes to help keep their classmates informed. They analyzed their influence scores and the effectiveness of their updates.

2.  The task assigned to our group was to choose a social
media channel of choice and be the class concierge. We
would post important things that would happen
throughout our classes such as assignment due dates,
interesting topics that came up in conversation, links
study notes, etc. The purpose of being a class concierge
was to use a variety of different social media channels per
group to keep classmates and teachers up to par with
what is going on within each course. Whenever something
important came up throughout the class, we would use our
social media channels to feed that information back to our
classmates. Each group member is responsible for his or
her social media channel and they are responsible for
relaying important information to everyone else by using
that channel. Each team member was responsible for that
social media outlet for one week.

3.  My Klout score is 48 and I am influential in
three main topics. The three topics I am the
most influential in are Kingston, Food and
Drinks. On Kred, I have a total of 2,561
points. My top communities include
Marketing, Advertising and Students.

4.  The channel I chose for my concierge week was
Pinterest.
 This social media channel was chosen because I
wanted to know more about it and learn how to use
it. I am new to Pinterest and I figured it would be a
good way to learn how it works. Everyone in our class
that has Pinterest is following the IMC@SLC account
therefore the message would be spread efficiently.
 The account contained a board for each of our
classes. Everything that was pinned throughout my
concierge week went directly onto the corresponding
board for that class. The boards were filled with
important or interesting information that could be of
interest of my classmates.

5.  When pinning things to the boards, I stated the
date and a caption describing the photo I pinned.
This way my classmates are able to tell which
date things were posted and what is an important
take away from that class.
 I started my concierge week as soon as our team
took over, and ended the day the other team
started.
 Every day, I pinned something to the
corresponding board in order to have at least one
key take away or important note for everyone to
be able to look back on.

6.  One thing I could have done better is attempt to
find relevant information for whatever project or
assignment we were working on that week that
could help everyone out. Whether this piece of
information gave people ideas on how to proceed
with an assignment or not, it could have been
something I could have added.
 Another simple element I could have done better
would be to attempt to pin more course take
away and information that was presented
throughout the class. This would include
anything interesting that was brought up
throughout class discussion or something the
teacher was discussing

11.  The channel choice I made was Google+ because
the other three members in my group chose
Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest. I felt that
Google+ was a wise choice of channel because a
week or two prior everyone in class had to create
a Google+ account, therefore I knew I could
reach everyone. Google+ allowed me to create
and share a “circle” of everybody in the class.
This meant that when others accessed Google+
they could easily find information within the
circle I created.

12.  I was the first concierge to choose Google+
so I cannot compare what I did with anyone
else via Google+.
 I will compare the number of posts that I
published in comparison with my group
members.
 Ben – 12
 Kurtis - 10
 Riley – 8
 Tye – 6

13.  Kred
◦ Influence Points = 7,565
◦ Top Communities = Students, Marketing & Fitness
 Klout
◦ Rating of 51/100
◦ Influential topics include: Golf, social media and
sports teams and clubs

14.  Posts delivered in timely matter
 Different content supplied (written, pictures
and links)
 Organized content according to class
 Informative
 Some followers gave me a +1, meaning that
the message meant something to them

15.  Not enough detail in some posts
 Don’t know if I used Google+ as effectively as
possible
 Didn’t create enough conversation
 Note enough updates to inform the class

16. Here are some of the posted I delivered to the class.

20.  I chose Twitter as my channel choice because
I have a higher influence on Twitter than any
other channel I could have chosen. Twitter
also creates a more direct link to my
classmates because about half of my
followers is made up of classmates and
professors. I also prefer Twitter because it is
concise and at the beginning of the year I was
the most prolific tweeter for males in our
class.

21.  Kred
 I have an Total Influence of 1,754 and my top
three communities are Marketing, Students
and Advertising
 Klout
 During our week as concierge my Klout score
fluctuated between 40 and 41
 My Influential topics are Business, Comedy
and Entertainment

22.  Posted Everyday
 Posted updates and reminders about classes
and assignments
 Concise
 Used the hash tag to make the tweets easy to
find. #conceirge4theweek
 Retweed by the class to get the most
exposure.

23.  I could have tweeted before and after classes
 Set up a schedule with regular times a day I
would tweet
 Mention professors so students could contact
them easily if they needed

28.  My channel of choice was the social media
platform Facebook. I decided to go with
Facebook for my week at being a concierge
because Facebook was the one social networking
site that as a class were connected on the most,
with everyone being in the same group on
Facebook and active Facebook users. Using
Facebook allowed for easy updates to share and
knowing that everyone connected would get an
update via their phone while on the go or
wherever they may be. Facebook aside from
twitter was the one media that people responded
to the fastest and were more likely to respond
over because of its easy nature.

 Publishing
 Education
 Klout score - 40

 Social media
 media

30.  My updates would not be as frequent as our
Twitter concierge but my updates would be
updates on the important issues in class such
as big reminders for project due dates. Also a
few updates would lead to small class
discussion.

31.  My biggest weakness would be that I did not
post as much as pervious Facebook
concierges with fewer but of the same
importance of updates. I could have given
more frequent updates and little reminders as
well as more discussion pieces for the class.
