I’ve become very curious and excited recently about how corporations, nonprofits, and others are using social media, in particular different social media sites, for marketing a specific part of a product or project. I’m curious if anyone is interested in examining how from its inception an oral history project can use various social media websites to do pre-marketing, real time marketing, and post marketing to keep up interest in a project. So for example, creating a Facebook page that syncs with a Twitter feed to give instant updates about the design and plan for an oral history project, while Soundcloud, Timblr, and Pinterest could each have different parts of a digital oral history project linked to each other. So for example a wav or mp3 file could be put on soundcloud, a blog with photographs could be on Tumblr, while unique pinboards could be created on Pinterest.

Do this sound interesting to anybody?
