Social Media Club of Texas State University welcomed Facebook representatives Maggie Cook, user operations analyst, and Brad Colbert, platform operations analyst, on Thursday to discuss the inner workings of the social media giant. Both Cook and Colbert work at the Austin office which manages solely online operations.

“My boyfriend and I moved to Texas to take jobs at Facebook and Gowalla,” Cook said. A social media power couple.

The Facebook crew spent a few minutes describing their backgrounds and roles at Facebook then left the discussion open for questions.

“The number one question we get asked is if we are on Facebook at work,” Colbert said. “Of course we are. We use our own platform to communicate with users, Facebook offices around the world and update the site.”

Social Media Club kicks off semester at SJMC Showcase

2010-09-02T10:08:00.000-07:00

After months of preparation, Social Media Club debuted its new chapter at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication Showcase, which included various student organizations like KTSW radio station and the Association for Women in Communications.

The event was a great way for SMC to reach out to students and explain to them how social media can help impact their future careers. This semester will offer students valuable information on how to use these tools to build themselves as a marketable brand for future employers.

During the fall semester, there will be three meetings featuring guest speakers that will tell students first hand what they are looking for, what they need to know and how to brand yourself. This is information that you can't get in a class room.

First meeting of the semester will be Thursday, September 2, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. Meetings will be every first Thursday of the month.
