Learning @communalytic.org using #SMSociety posts on #Bluesky this month. 82 posts and counting (including lots of replies) 😊🦋 The sample is too small for a proper network analysis but it's a good start. Thanks to @gruzd.ca and @philipmai.com for this valuable hands-on workshop. 🙏

@canjura.bsky.social hi Julian, nice to see you on Bluesky! Really enjoyed your presentation, especially the case study about Algerian boxer Imane Khelif. Look forward to keeping in touch, and by the way, added you to the #SMSociety starter pack 😊 go.bsky.app/CGt63ZM

#UCWPUBR300 Thank you, Professor. I’m truly grateful for all your guidance, stories, and encouragement throughout the course. I will miss our OGL chats as well and would love to continue learning and staying connected here on Bluesky. 🙏😊 @wahibachair.com

#UCWPUBR300 Using #BlueskyForLearning felt engaging and interactive with professor and my mates. It made it easier to connect course ideas with real-world discussions and see different perspectives in a more open learning space. @wahibachair.com

#UCWPUBR300 One of my takeaways from this course is the importance of clear and strategic communication. I enjoyed learning about media relations and real-world PR examples as they showed how communication can shape an organization’s reputation. These lessons will be valuable in my future career.

Great episode! Key takeaway for me: PR isn’t just about getting media attention, it’s about measuring real impact. Also, AI can support research and content ideas, but human creativity and relationships are still the most important part of PR. #UCWPUBR300

#UCWPUBR300 One key takeaway from Logan’s story was the importance of networking and being open to new opportunities. Building connections and staying adaptable can help create a successful career in PR.
