Cities Need a Social Media StrategyChicago Should Take The Reins
It’s no surprise. Global tragedies as of late resulted in the heightened use of social media tools like Twitter. People that were trapped in the Taj Mahal hotel used Twitter to keep their family and friends abreast of what was going on minute by minute
With the local and national media covering these tools on a daily basis, what are cities and municipalities doing to create their own social media strategies? I live in Chicago, where a slew of newspapers, PR companies, television stations and other information sources have Twitter accounts: @ColonelTribune @SunTimes @gapersblock @windycitizen, @nbc5streetteam - to name a few.
To the Mayor, Deputy Directors, Aldermen, Council members and whomever else makes decisions in our fine city, it’s time to throw back the curtain, take a deep breath and let us know a little more about who you are, what makes you tick and what developments are happening in your worlds.
