GSMCON Recap

Marian Doucette, the winner of the GovTech Social's "Your Question Could be Your Ticket": scholarship to the second annual Government Social Media Conference asked a particularly important one:

What are best SM reporting system metrics to track for Govt progs/needs & an optimal reporting time frame? #GovTechSocial @govtechnews — Marian Doucette (@iNeedArts) March 16, 2016
The podcast regulars trace the evolution of social metrics and provide context for making choices.

They also debrief with GSMCON creator Kristy Dalton on this year's conference and how she measures success.

GovTech Social co-host and Government Technology staff writer Eyragon Eidam previews a story on one sheriff's office success using collective engagement (below).

Then the hosts gave away T-shirts and a little gadget for podcasting in a shameless effort to recruit subscribers to GovTech Social on iTunes. The box of T-shirts is gone, but you can join the growing number of subscribers  here.

The live recording followed a discussion of a Letterman-style Top 10 List for Success in Starting a Podcast.  That annotated list will be published in the June Edition of Government Technology magazine and even earlier in the GovTech Social newsletter.  Be sure to receive your copy by subscribing here or below.
