Darryn Turbocharged February 26, 2014 Share February 26, 2014 From a time, consistency of posting and "cleverness" of posting issue, as well as the legitimacy of paying someone to do it - which, if any, of our politicians do you think manage their own facebook pages? (note - I am talking PAGES as opposed to PROFILES) If you are a celebrity, do you think it is ok to pay someone to manage a facebook page for you? If so, does this extend to politicians? And do you think that "Mr. Selfie" is doing the right thing with the posts he makes that are narcisscistic? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic February 26, 2014 Share February 26, 2014 nothing wrong. They should be concentrating on their work, main responsibilities instead of posting on FB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of them use help to maintain their facebook. I ever email to indranee (my mp previously) and thereafter when I meet her, I can say for sure she didn't even read my email. if MP got no time to read email, how much time can they allocate for facebook?

Darryn Turbocharged February 26, 2014 Author Share February 26, 2014 Baey seems to be managing his own... On the other hand - I have seen DPM post as "himself" while he was giving a speech....(which is a poor strategy in my opinion - there is nothing wrong with having your aide help you, but don't try to hide it so much) Some are active - some hardly post (like Penny Low for instance, her number of posts are low) Being active on facebook is an ongoing challenge... well tin pei ling broke one of the campaigning rules and blamed it on her friend who manages her facebook.

I am not surprised about baey. he gives me the impression he likes to act cool and this is surely something that helps him achieve that. plus he isn't half as busy as indranee because as we all know, she covers her own constituency and LKY's constituency. I really think for any MP that is busy, it is ok for them to farm out the job of maintaining their facebook to someone else. facebook account is still a publicity /PR management tool for them, leaving it to the professionals are good as well as freeing up the time for them to do work is good.

Alheych 6th Gear February 26, 2014 Share February 26, 2014 not many MPs have personal assistants to do it. it's probably easy to think that once you're a MP you have an army of foot soldiers settling everything for you. that is not true. while there're indeed over zealous grassroots leaders who chope parking spaces for MPs, do things behind that MP's back that would have made him/her embarrassed if the MP came to know, i don't think many of them are trusted enough to actually run the facebook pages.

Acemundo Supercharged February 26, 2014 Share February 26, 2014 Baey is trying to reach out to the younger generation which FB is a good media. I am not disputing that but I think he got more than what he bargained for . Younger generation are no more so apathetic and ignorant of politics. anymore. for example he tried to engage in a debate with some facebookers about the detention without trial of certain hapless chaps and I will say he lost more points then he set out to gain initially.

FB can be a double edge sword and if one can't manage it properly, one can turn from hero to zero very soon. we have to remind ourselves constantly that those words we type on FB are permanent and it can be spread very fast like wildfire.

This is a HUGE thing - no matter what, whatever is said on facebook is gonna reflect on you, so you have to be careful and know exactly what is happening... This is why I use a "content calendar" for my clients - I tell them two weeks in advance what we are going to be posting. It's more work than people realise to plan it all out properly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
