AMS and Social Media
Get the content you want delivered how and where you want it.
As part of our commitment to the open flow of communications and community engagement, the AMS uses several social networking tools to supplement the channels currently in place for press, members and general communication. Below describes the Society’s activities in this arena, and we invite you to follow and share content of interest.
The AMS currently delivers content through the following social media channels:
Facebook
Facebook is a free social networking website---a gathering spot, to connect with your friends and with your friends’ friends. Facebook allows you to make new connections with others who share a common interest, expanding your personal network. You can "Like" us---and find others who "Like" the AMS---at our Facebook page.
Twitter
Twitter is a free social networking site that allows users to send and read other users' updates of up to 140 characters in length. While people use Twitter in many different ways for both personal and professional reasons, we are using Twitter as another way to keep the community informed of AMS and other news, events and deadlines. Follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/amermathsoc.
YouTube
The AMS publishes all of its video content to our YouTube channel, where we encourage you to subscribe to our videos, share them, comment on them and embed them in your own sites. We also embed the videos on the AMS website, where you can find additional context and information. View our videos on YouTube at www.youtube.com/amermathsoc.
RSS Feeds
About RSS and content feeds
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an easy and free way to receive content electronically whenever it is updated on the ams.org website. You can choose what you want to track and how often you want to be updated. For instance, if you want up-to-the-minute news, information on our newest journals issues, YouTube uploads, or to know when the newest Mathematical Moments have posted, set up an RSS feed. Learn more about our feeds here . . .
Blogs
A blog (a contraction of the term "web log"), maintained by an organization or an individual, features regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or videos. The AMS currently offers the PhD + epsilon Blog, by Adriana Salerno, Bates College; On the Market Blog, moderated by Sue Geller, Texas A&M University; Joint Mathematics Meetings blogs, and the Graduate Student Blog---by and for math grad students, managed by Frank Morgan, Vice-President, American Mathematical Society. Learn more about our available blogs.
LinkedIn
The purpose of the site is to allow registered users to maintain a list of contact details of people they know and trust in business. The people in the list are called Connections. Users can invite anyone (whether a site user or not) to become a connection. Make professional contacts using AMS on Linkedin.
Podcasts [iTunes]
A podcast is a series of digital media files (either audio or video) that are released episodically and often downloaded through web syndication. The AMS creates podcasts for its Mathematical Moments program, available on iTunes, and posts podcast interviews with AMS Invited Speakers prior to the annual Joint Mathematics Meetings in January.
The AMS encourages your comments, and hopes you will join the discussions both on the AMS website and on social networks. We review comments before they're posted, and those that are offensive, abusive, off-topic or promoting a commercial product, person or website will not be posted. Expressing disagreement is fine, but mutual respect is required.
