NASA Social
Contents |
NASA has hosted many events for its social media enthusiasts called NASA Socials (formerly NASA Tweetups). These events are targeted at the social media followers of NASA through platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, Instagram, and more. They provide guests with VIP access to NASA facilities and speakers with the goal of leveraging participants' social networks to further the outreach requirements of NASA as laid out in the National Aeronautics and Space Act.[1] NASA re-branded these events as "Socials" in March 2012 as it expanded participation to services beyond just Twitter.[2]
To date, 8 NASA field centers and NASA HQ have hosted tweetup events.[3] There were 5 NASA Tweetups in 2009, 10 in 2010, 16 in 2011, and 21 in 2012. As of August 2011, over 2,000 participants have been part of official NASA Tweetups.[4] Many tweetup events are at least partially broadcasted on NASA TV and UStream. Some tweetups are at NASA facilities, while others are at many other locations, including the National Air and Space Museum and the Newseum. The length of tweetups range from a few hours to much longer, such as the STS-133 launch tweetup, which was a week long – the only one of its kind.
The first NASA Tweetup was held at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, in January 2009. During this event, guests were given exclusive tours and access to JPL scientists and engineers.[5]
NASA, in an attempt to measure the impact of tweetups, tracked 10,665 tweets originating from 150 participants in the Juno Tweetup as well as the subsequent retweets and found 29.9 million potential impressions.[6]
Speakers and Participants [edit]
Speakers at NASA tweetup/social events have included NASA engineers, scientists, executives and well over 80 NASA astronauts. Notable speakers include NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell, Senator and astronaut John Glenn, Bill Nye, and final Space Shuttle crew members Sandy Magnus and Chris Ferguson.
While the majority of participants in NASA tweetups/socials have been space enthusiasts, there have also been many "celebrity" participants, including Trey Ratcliff, Robert Scoble, Bill Prady, Kevin Clash, Miles O'Brien, Seth Green, will.i.am, and many others.
Participants are chosen randomly from submitted applications[7][8] from an open application process on the web. For the STS-135 Tweetup, 150 were chosen from over 5500 applications.[9][10]
