(Schiero) As a social media manager at Nasa Headquarters in Washington D.C.[br]

0:00:12.754,0:00:15.380
I oversee all of NASA's social media accounts,[br]

0:00:15.380,0:00:19.168
and uh, primarily the @nasa Twitter account[br]

0:00:19.168,0:00:22.794
and make sure that we are engaging with our followers on Twitter.[br]

0:00:22.794,0:00:28.042
And telling them about the wonders of the universe and what we're doing with space exploration.[br]

0:00:28.042,0:00:35.575
We have more than 110 Twitter accounts across the agency, and we have 20 tweeting astronauts.

0:00:35.898,0:00:41.684
It takes engagement to another level and people don't just follow us...[br]

0:00:41.684,0:00:47.220
They start, you know, really spreading the word, and becoming advocates, and telling people about[br]

0:00:47.220,0:00:49.387
their experience with NASA.[br]

0:00:49.387,0:00:54.551
We have an image of the day that we tweet out and people love, love, love the images.[br]

0:00:54.551,0:01:00.551
And video, we have great video's and um, so launch and landing videos obviously are really high.[br]

0:01:00.551,0:01:04.577
Whatever your niche interest is, you can find it on Twitter I promise.[br]

0:01:04.577,0:01:08.634
And you can connect to a community of people who have the same interest as you.[br]

0:01:08.634,0:01:14.828
So it doesn't matter how sort of, niche it is, there's a group on Twitter[br]

0:01:14.828,0:01:18.828
talking about that subject and you can be part of that conversation.
