Re: [Social-media] News on Wikipedia: possible bailout for Greece and a prison escape in Mexico

14 Jul 2015

I'd want to vary the Facebook posts a bit since that'll get pretty samey
after a while.

The Satoru Iwata Twitter seems to undersell him a little. "Satoru Iwata,
Nintendo's president for 12 years, died this week aged 55.
#NewsOnWikipedia" might work better.

  No worries. Proposed new social:

 Facebook:

    1. This week in #NewsOnWikipedia: can you name both of this year's
    Wimbledon champs?
    2. This week in #NewsOnWikipedia: Greece has agreed to hold talks on a
    third bailout deal with their creditors.
    3. This week in #NewsOnWikipedia: the prisoner who escaped through a
    mile-long tunnel with the help of a modified motorcycle.
    4. This week in #NewsOnWikipedia: the Confederate flag was removed
    from South Carolina's State House grounds this week.
    5. This week in #NewsOnWikipedia: Satoru Iwata, the long-time
    president of Nintendo who oversaw game consoles like the GameCube and Wii,
    died at the age of 55.

 Twitter:

    1. Can you name both of this year's Wimbledon champs? #NewsOnWikipedia
    2. Greece and the EU come together for a potential third financial
    bailout. #NewsOnWikipedia
    3. This prisoner escaped with a mile-long tunnel and a modified
    motorcycle. #NewsOnWikipedia
    4. The Confederate flag came down from South Carolina's State House
    grounds this week. #NewsOnWikipedia
    5. Did you own a GameCube or Wii? If so, you'll miss Satoru Iwata.

 Thoughts?

  Thanks, Andrew and Ed. I thought our plan was to
split this up into
 individual stories on social (i.e. one post per story) rather than promote
 the whoel blog post?

 Also I'm not comfortable using the #ElChapo hashtag.

  For sure. I thought this could be the social for
today (or first day
 promotion). I expected Joe to have more social ideas.

  I'm sure Joe will add more here too so we can
socialize this multiple
 times, like last week :-)

 For Twitter, is #ElChapo the hashtag for him? Let's also hashtag
 #NewsOnWikipedia

 For Facebook, "This week in #NewsOnWikipedia: Wimbledon, Nintendo, and
 much more."
