Below are website addresses

for some of my favorite YogaGlo instructors!

YogaGlo appears to use Twitter as a way to promote YogaGlo.com, to share yoga resources, and to maintain communication with YogaGlo members. On Twitter, YogaGlo thanks Twitter users for retweets and regularly responds to tweets. It appears, from the tweets, that many of the Twitter users are also YogaGlo members. For instance, in the Tweet exchange to the right, a YogaGlo user shares a YogaGlo video link and YogaGlo responds with a note of thanks. It is important to notice the frequency with which YogaGlo responds to Twitter users directly because this interaction is important for community development and effectiveness.

YogaGlo uses Facebook in many similar ways as it uses Twitter.  However, Facebook allows for different avenues of communication, including longer posts, photos, and videos. For this reason, YogaGlo's Facebook page includes photos from the YogaGlo studio (see photo on right), photos of YogaGlo instructors, and videos from YogaGlo.com.  It is interesting to note that YogaGlo uses Facebook mainly as a means for promoting yoga, YogaGlo, and the instructors of YogaGlo (see below).  Unlike Twitter, Facebook is not used for direct communication with Facebook users.  Rather, Facebook users respond to YogaGlo's Facebook posts but YogaGlo does not respond directly back as is the case with Twitter.  I think this is a result of the different platforms.  Because Twitter communication is limited to a specific word count, perhaps the reciprocal communication is necessary for Twitter users to feel connected to YogaGlo.  However, on Facebook, users can feel connected through the extended posts and personal videos and photos.  Furthermore, one does not need to be a YogaGlo member in order to understand and enjoy the Facebook posts from YogaGlo.  It seems that Facebook users could easily follow YogaGlo on Facebook without being members on YogaGlo.com.
