How many times do you check your facebook account in one
day? How about twitter? Are you a YouTube junkie? Do you have a Blog? Social
media is the community of this generation. This is how information is
exchanged, how the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) mission is
conveyed. Often it is much easier to bring the Hatchery to your home via the
internet, facebook, flicker than it is for you to visit us. Of course, we would
love you to get outside and visit us, but the next best thing is to bring it to
you.
Four things to know about Social Media and the USFWS:
1) All the photos on the USFWS flicker page are available
and free for download to the public. The FWS national digital library is also a
source for free photos. When downloading anything from the internet, look at
the copyright information and credit the photographer appropriately.
2) A great way to find out about local outdoor
events, such as fee free days at refuges, or kids fishing days, is through the
FWS Facebook page. Idaho is part of the Pacific region whose page is updated
several times a day. http://www.facebook.com/USFWSPacific
3) The FWS has a YouTube
channel. Find your favorite video and tell us about it!
4) The USFWS pacific region twitter page has over
15,000 followers! Come see what all the buzz is about! http://twitter.com/USFWSPacific
