I'm setting up our blog with blogger, which you can use to see the team's newest twitter messages (aka NEWS), our friendfeed (aka videos and new items), and latest blog posts by our team's members (...and more social media stuff, too).
Our blog is the central hub for our communication, news, new stuff, and shared information. It's the team's home, if you will. And as you're probably aware, this isn't a normal thirty day challenge team - we're all doing our own thing. So this is just a way of having your questions answered and getting help when you need it. The main reason your here, though, is to do the thirty day challenge - so the team is just extra stuff that you may choose to participate in... but no one's expecting you to (I'd argue that it's a good idea...)
You can post on the blog. Blogger works with google, so you can log into google and as long as you don't log out of google you can just type blogger into your search engine and, when you arrive, you should already be logged into the edit-it area. If not, you can log in at blogger.com with the same account information. Note that if you log into google you can check the team's email, google reader, and other google tools.
POSTING TO TWITTER: Twitter is "mini-blogging" or news for the team, and it'll be syndicated into our blog. It's like a news feed for what's up.
If you want to post short-news to the blog, just log into your twitter and type a tweet. Make sure your twitter has been added to the blog.
POSTING TO FRIEND FEED: Friendfeed is an all-in-one hub for all social media events going on.
We have a room in friend feed specifically for our team. You'll see in the pre-season training that Ed Dale highly encourages using this as a medium for all our social media stuff. You can even get our friend feed room on your facebook.
It's very easy to share stuff - and you can share your social media items (they automatically update - so if you share your youtube videos, the room will see it whenever you make a new video on youtube or favorite a video) OR you can type messages and post to the room that way. If the blog is our hub of information, this would be our hub of showing off and seeing what everyone's up to.
All you have to do is have a friend feed account, goto rooms and search for the "SocialNETWORKINGChallenge" room.
And our friend feed plugs right into the blog, so you don't have to goto friend feed to see what the room's up to - you can see it at socialnetworkingchallenge.blogspot.com
Other Stuff:
Instant Messaging: You can get gtalk on your main google page, on your gmail page, or download it to your computer - this is our instant messenger for the group (I think it's on friend feed too... meaning it's on our blog too...)
Voice Communication: We use ventrilo (download: ventrilo.com) because we pay for a vent server (it's been around from the gaming days): IP: vent6.gameservers.com, PORT: 4229, no password.
I probably missed stuff, but it'll all be on the blog.
