Ah, that time of year when summer is wrapping up, ASAE Annual is less than a week away and you’re crazed trying to get your work done AND prep for the conference while also stressing about leaving your new puppy for FIVE nights…not to mention the whole clear plastic bag instead of a purse thing.

21st Century Communication Strategies for Associations: Integrating Video, Social Media, and The Next Thing

07.06.2018 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Happy summer! Hope yours is going better than mine so far. : / A few weeks ago, I led a DC-area Idea Swap about 21st century communication strategies for associations, so figured I’d repurpose it here for those of you not in the DC area. I hate powerpoint so figured I’d try something new–Wakelet–to curate […]

What associations need to know about Facebook’s new political content rules

06.13.2018 by Maggie McGary // 2 Comments

Ah Facebook…always looking for new/better ways to be transparent and to protect our security. That’s why they’ve implemented this…oh, sorry, that’s not it–that’s just the billionth time they “accidentally” changed users’ sharing settings to public. Last week. But they’re sorry, obvi, because they a whole commercial promising that they’re going to do better to protect […]

In Facebook We Trust. Why?

Broken glass with sad sunflower

As baffling and rage/fear/frustration-inducing as the 24/7 political news cycle is, another–admittedly, much lower key– narrative has been snagging my attention lately: Facebook. If you read this blog or know me, I know “lately” is a laughingly inadequate descriptor of the time period during which I’ve been obsessed with the topic of Facebook. I’ve actually […]

What Associations Need to Know About Facebook’s API Changes

07.20.2017 by Maggie McGary // 2 Comments

Ah, Facebook–that social network I love to hate, even though my career kind of depends on using it. For those of us in the association and nonprofit sectors, Facebook just got a lot harder to use effectively with the announcement that they’ve changed their API and eliminated the ability to modify link previews when posting […]

Facebook Live: Worth the Hype or Not?

06.02.2017 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

If “social media” was all the rage a few years ago, then “content” was the big buzz, these days it’s all about video and, to a slightly lesser extent, podcasts. Forget lowly old blogs–aka “content”–and now that organic reach is dead, social media, for many, has morphed into just another paid channel, we’re all supposed […]

Twitter Spring Cleaning and Privacy Check

05.15.2017 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Now that I’m re-addicted to Twitter–for better or for worse–I started noticing that even though I follow a lot of people, I never happen to see any tweets from them unless I search. It occurred to me to check my settings, vaguely recalling they’ve changed their algorithm (now that I Google it I see it […]

Social Media by the Numbers 2017

03.15.2017 by Maggie McGary // 1 Comment

  Ah, winter–how I hate you. I have managed to catch every germ and bug around this winter, which led to me having to miss not one but TWO presentations a few weeks ago, one in Orlando. And if missing the trip wasn’t bad enough, I actually spent a decent amount of time creating non-crappy […]

Social Media Stress is Real

02.24.2017 by Maggie McGary // 1 Comment

(Disclosure: Even though I work for the American Psychological Association (APA), I’m writing this post as me, personal blogger, not as an official rep of APA.) Today, APA released the second part of their annual Stress in America™ report, which focuses on something that’s super real for me and, according to the report, 86% of US […]

Should Scientific Association Communicators Be Worried?

01.25.2017 by Maggie McGary // 4 Comments

Granted, I’m a worrier by nature, but this morning I can’t help but wonder if there’s extra cause for worry today in light of the censorship that’s happening here and now in the world. The EPA has been ordered to remove the climate change pages from its website, and is under a “temporary media blackout.” […]
