Scottsdale is using social media to reach out to where you are – our tech savvy citizens, business owners and visitors!
In an email update I received from the City of Scottsdale today, I noticed a link to the Scottsdale Media Center. I’ve been getting Twitter updates from the City of Scottsdale for awhile, but was pleasantly surprised to find a couple new avenues to get information about the city I live, work, and play in.
On Twitter, there are city government, police, and fire Twitter streams to follow. On Facebook, there’s a ScottsdaleAZ page, and several fan pages for departments like planning and development, parks and recreation, and the library. There’s a link to a YouTube channel, plus links to sign up for email or RSS feeds.
A pleasant surprise to complement the extensive city web site that can be found at ScottsdaleAZ.gov.
Visit the Scottsdale Media Center to sign up, follow, and like!

I ran into this a few weeks ago, not sure when they implemented it but just fell in love with it!! I hope other sites/cities use it as an example! Love having it all in one place!
I agree, Candace!
You gotta love Twitter
I think companies, people and agencies are finally “getting it”. Building relationships online is an effective way to reach a larger audience.
Hi Mike, Some are doing social media really well. I do think the social media landscape is continually evolving, so it does take a bit of effort to monitor what is working and then keep tweaking it.
Good info over again. Thumbs up.
