Chicks Who Chatw/ Classy Jen & Sugar Jones
. ;-)
KeepItClassyJen:
 Hi everyone!!! Thanks for this great opportunity to tell you about my program!
NerdBoyTV:
 How long have you been on Twitter, Jen. You seem very comfortable on it.
KeepItClassyJen:
 I have been on Twitter since October of 08 and I love it! It is one of the mostpowerful ways to connect with people.
NerdBoyTV:
 You are conducting VCasts for newbies to social media like Twitter on Mondaynites; how did you get THAT idea?
KeepItClassyJen:
 Well, simple really. No one was jumping for joy trying to help me out when Ifirst started. So I thought I would help newbies out!
NerdBoyTV:
 What have you found to be some of the most common reasons for newbies tohesitate getting on Twitter, Facebook, or MySpace?
KeepItClassyJen:
 I think the biggest fear for newcomers of Social Media is not knowing the bestway to utilize the programs.
KeepItClassyJen:
 They sign up for these platforms and never use them.

NerdBoyTV:
 How do you go about making these various social media platforms "relevant"to say your mother?
KeepItClassyJen:
 They are relevant for anyone seeking like-minded people. You have tounderstand what they do and GO FOR IT! Don't sit back!
NerdBoyTV:
 True. So when someone like Oprah (babyboomer) says, "I just don't getTwitter," how do you explain?
KeepItClassyJen:
 Well jokes on us lol because @oprah is now on Twitter, but the bestexplanation is giving your "status" & replying to others.
NerdBoyTV:
 Tell us about the format of your online class,
Keep It Real with Jen Hinton
.What can someone expect each week?
KeepItClassyJen:
 They can expect to learn about Twitter. BUT the difference is they will alsolearn about all the great platforms that can be used…
KeepItClassyJen:
 …along with it. I usedhttp://dimdim.comclassroom setting that allows you toSEE me through webcast and communicate to others…
KeepItClassyJen:
 …who are taking the class. It is VERY interactive and people network withinthe classes.
NerdBoyTV:
 What other social media do you use? Do you integrate with good 'ol Twitter?And how long do you spend on the computer per day? ;-)
KeepItClassyJen:
 LOL, I am always NEAR the PC. I use social networking sites such as Ning. Ialso use Qik, YouTube, Facebook, BTR...etc.
KeepItClassyJen:
 But I also teach things such as HTML, SEO, Google PR, Media Kits...etc.
KeepItClassyJen:
 Well the best part is they can SEE me through Webcast which makes it feellike just watching TV and not just an online class.
NerdBoyTV:
 So back to an earlier question, just curious how long you spend on acomputer online everyday?
“They can expect tolearn about Twitter.BUT the difference isthey will also learnabout all the greatplatforms that canbe used…”“… the best part isthey can SEE methrough Webcastwhich makes it feellike just watching TVand not just anonline class.”

NerdBoyTV:
 And would someone with limited time spent gain similar benefits from allthese social networking services?
KeepItClassyJen:
 I spend probably 8-10 on computer but not just with social media. Yes, thosewith limited time can learn things to help with SM!
NerdBoyTV:
 Nice. Half the battle is definitely getting those use to TV onto new mediaofferings like YouTube, Hulu, Facebook, Kindle.
KeepItClassyJen:
 Exactly!
NerdBoyTV:
 Class sounds terrific for those comfortable taking online; how could u reachthose like my wife just now learning texting?
KeepItClassyJen:
 For example, I teach people that when they sit down to write a post. Write afew and have them ready to pre-post!
NerdBoyTV:
 Ok, I've gotta throw the "gender" card in the mixx. Do you feel women usesocial media differently than men? How so?
KeepItClassyJen:
 No...(twirling a piece of hair) what do you mean??
KeepItClassyJen:
 Seriously, no I don't. We are all here doing the same thing just in differentways...women or men. Same thing...same platforms.
NerdBoyTV:
 LOL, I ask only because I see my teenage daughter use MySpace verydifferently than my teenage son. She puts feelings on her status.
KeepItClassyJen:
 I don't think Myspace is considered a practical source of social media forpeople 25 and above. My opinion.
NerdBoyTV:
 LOL...oh definitely not for 25 and above <g> But I'll take ur answer as no realdifference.
KeepItClassyJen:
 Right, no difference.
“I spend probably8-10 on computer butnot just with socialmedia. Yes, thosewith limited time canlearn things to helpwith social media!”“… I teach peoplethat when they sitdown to write a post.Write a few and havethem ready topre-post!”
