This topic was so popular that the #SocialGov community put together a working group and a \u003ca href=\"/preview/gsa/digitalgov.gov/bc-archive-content-3/resources/readiness-recovery-response-social-media-cyber-vandalism-toolkit/\"\u003etoolkit to help agencies protect themselves while using social media\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2013, we published an article on how \u003ca href=\"/preview/gsa/digitalgov.gov/bc-archive-content-3/2013/04/25/government-must-respond-rapidly-to-social-media-hacking/\"\u003egovernment must respond rapidly to social media hacking\u003c/a\u003e which identifies some steps you can take to make sure you are protected.

This past year we hosted some events with the newer tools that we’ve added to the list.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, take a look at the article \u003ca href=\"/preview/gsa/digitalgov.gov/bc-archive-content-3/2015/02/06/getting-to-yes-working-with-vendors-to-secure-terms-of-service-and-federal-friendly-pricing/\"\u003eGetting to Yes: How to Negotiate Federal Friendly Terms of Service\u003c/a\u003e, written by Clair Koroma and Kathryn Hambleton of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Then, watch the corresponding \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/wc13slb9by4\"\u003eon-demand webinar for tips on negotiating TOS agreements at your agency\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso, after almost a year with an approved TOS, we hosted a webinar about \u003ca href=\"https://www.thunderclap.it\"\u003eThunderclap\u003c/a\u003e, a self-described “on-line flash mob.” This tool helps your message get heard by scheduling a post to go out at the same time from every sharer. You can watch the on-demand event \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/QuACkq02GVw\"\u003eMagnify Your Message: Case Studies in Thunderclap\u003c/a\u003e. Alison Lemon from the Food and Drug Administration (and former SocialGov 20%er) also took a look at how \u003ca href=\"\n\"\u003eHHS and the Environmental Protection Agency have used Thunderclap to spread their campaign.\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe hosted reddit—an entertainment, social networking, and news website where registered community members can submit content, such as text posts or direct links, making it essentially an online bulletin board system—in an event called \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/FFYIQVMAA8I\"\u003eAsk reddit Anything\u003c/a\u003e.
