2. Social Media as a Marketing Tool
•Where are your customers?
•What are they doing?
3. Social Media and Science
“The degree to which anyone
values the internet is
proportional to how valuable
the internet makes that
person.”
Chuck Klosterman
9. The Influence Model
•You don’t have the time/funds to be
everywhere.
•Some information sources are more
influential than others.
•Is using tool “X” to reach audience “Y”
worth your time?
10. You Will Be Misinterpreted
The whole situation reminds me quite a bit of what one saw online

the computing world…

12. Case Study: Kent Anderson
Kent Anderson, of all people, has the gall to come and try to tell scientists how
they should organize their workflow by telling us that we shouldn't abandon
this petrified, decrepit, ghastly plague of a publishing system, because
ignoramuses like him know better what's good for science! To this I can only
sing along with [link to obscene insulting song].

interesting to see what happened if PLoS started sabre-rattling.
