TERENA's task force on communications and public relations, TF-CPR, has seen an increasing use of social media for NRENs' comms-PR work and a work item on social media has had this as its focus. In September 2012 TF-CPR arranged social media training. The task force wants to be more outward looking and TNC offered a chance to explore how technical work of NRENs may benefit from collaboration / support for use of social media.

TF-CPR Work Item Overview - Domen Božeglav (ARNES)

Social media is no longer "just for kids".
ARNES now has very active FB, Twitter and LinkedIN profiles

•For now it‘s a great tool for news dissemination
•Finally able to actually reach specific audience
•Twitter for journalists, politicians
•Have a weekly reach of 3000 people

ARNES covered RIPE NCC meeting on its Facebook site and saw large spike in interest - suggests technical people also using social media.

Around 2010 NRENs started using social media for marketing, communications, PR purposes, as seen in TF-CPR. Everyone was "minding his own 'social garden'", but work item was started to share know how. Started gathering information for an extensive study, but decided to stop and take a different approach: created a "Jumpstart Pack" with information about why to use use certain social media, which are best for different uses / audiences, and advice about using different social media, how to get started, monitor success etc. This received feddback from TF-CPR in February 2012. Needs final 'tweaking' then can be available as community tool.

ARNES also has been using Facebook for its Computer Security Incident Response Team's (CSIRT's) work to promote Internet 'safety'.
