 Welcome to bingo. We've got a special guest today. Our project is the ambassadors project with Azure and I am so excited about this project because it's one of my favorite. I'm a member of this project and as there is just such a great boss of the project because she always keeps us informed as well. So let me let her tell you a little bit about the project before we start bingo. And for those of you that are in the chat, I will post up the first bingo card link to give you time to get to it. While we find out more about the ambassador project. So take it away. All right. So the ambassadors project is all about sharing wiki tree out to everybody else to spread the word basically wiki tree is free and to stay free to follow that pledge to stay free. That's how we do it is we That's how we get our advertising marketing is through the members through the community and sharing sharing wiki tree on social media. The so this she's showing you the social media page and this is updated Throughout the week with the links that are posted by the wiki tree to the wiki tree account on different subjects. So for instance, we one named Tuesday. We started that because one place Wednesday was already in place and we really liked being able to showcase studies that we have on wiki tree. And so we started one name Tuesday to do the same for our name studies. Question of the week is something that's done weekly on Mondays. And there's lots of different opportunities to share different things that are going on at wiki tree on Saturdays. We share the post meet our members where we have a blog post on G to G about wiki tree years specific which years share about how they got involved in genealogy and and more about what they're doing. So there's lots of opportunities to share. Another aspect of that ambassadors project is the link builders. So if you scroll back up just a little bit further. Yeah, there's a link there for link builders. And that's another way for you to kind of help for members to share about wiki tree out on places like Wikipedia, wiki data, find a grave. There's you can link back to wiki tree from those places so that when people are doing their genealogy or research, they can see a link. Okay, here's this person's genealogy and here it takes you to their their page on on wiki tree. So what's interesting because you have been doing a lot of work with training videos for the ambassadors and sharing information and I never knew there was a template for family search. Yes, there's a lot. There's actually quite a few external link templates that were have been created. So, yeah, fabulous. Those are so quick and easy just to put a template in for family search but similar to how we do you know stickers for the states or how we're doing. I was amazed so easy so quick and it puts all the information right there. It's very similar template. As a matter of fact to the finer grave. Right. And the wiki data external link template actually will link to both wiki data and wiki the Wikipedia article for that person. Oh, that's great. Yeah, and, and if you are a contributor to wikipedia, there's actually a wiki wiki tree template that you can add to the person's article into the external links portion of the article. I'm going to be sharing about that. I'm going to be posting a video how to do all that sometime this week. Hopefully, we'll get that done and get it out there on how to do all that because there's on wiki data. Of course, there's a way to link to the wiki tree profile. So a lot lots of ways that people can help spread the word about wiki tree. You know, it's really important. I think because I know for me I use almost exclusively family search for my sources. So yes, it's important to have that link on your wiki tree profile. But to me it is equally if not more important to have the wiki tree link on the family search profile. Yeah, we can come back and see. So not only does that give us more exposure. And that's part of why we're here today talking about the ambassadors group. But it also is just real handy because how many times have you gone back into an ancestor looking and you're like, oh, let me go search for him on wiki tree again. If you had the link in the sources, you'd have it there. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And you can also put it into that life story or you know on that first page of the family search profile. So yeah. And I know that you were doing the IMDB. That was a new one by me yesterday. So that's new to me too. Yeah, yep. I've done a few. One is we can look at one if you want. Let's see, let me find her ID. And it's great. So for those of you that love doing notables, and if you love doing the actors or actresses and directors or anybody that would be associated with that, this is a really good thing to have the IMDB. I'll just pull that up. Let's see. Oh, I guess we can't talk about, I can't share that one because she's. Let me just bring up I have a spreadsheet of people. And then while you're doing that, keep in mind the ambassadors group, a lot of people think that it's just the wiki tree love and the high, you know, let's just talk about wiki tree. It is so much more than that. You have graphics that you have to share. If you're going to do a presentation, the ambassadors project already has these cam presentations for you that you can grab and use. And for those of you who like business cards, this was also something that I didn't realize under the wiki tree media. And again, I got to that from the ambassadors project and you'll see the wiki tree media at the top links. This is where all that information is that I'm talking about. They have the media. They have manuals. They have logos. So if you have a personal webpage or if you want to just put it in your email, you can do that. You've got the business card graphics. So if you're somebody who talks to about genealogy a lot, here's your sample business card. It's great. You can put your profile on there. People can go straight to it. This is what I love. A reunion kit. Now how many of you would love to have a reunion kit? We've got 2023 coming up and COVID's over. We're doing reunions. I know my family is doing reunions. I know your all family has got to be doing reunions. This is fabulous. So what this form is, it's really easy. You can print it out and it will give you the basic information that you want from the people at the reunion. And this is just another way to source and check your sources. Because how many people have Uncle Joe, but his name is probably Uncle Antonio or something like that because he goes by a nickname. Well, this is a great tool to use. I'm just thrilled with that name. Now that's another thing is that an aspect of Ambassador are presenters, people who are actually out there presenting maybe online or in a physical location. And then also bloggers. Yes, we have the bloggers, the part of ambassadors. And so lots of different ways. And they kind of work together to the social media group can share what the bloggers are posting about and back and forth collaborating. So I think that I think that people don't realize how big the ambassador group is. And it's so crucial to like you mentioned, to keep wiki tree free. Yeah. Yeah. And so if you go to that link, I think it's showing which one I sent it in private. Okay, let's see. Hopefully he's still got the link to back to wiki tree. Let's see. Okay, so we're talking about max. And just to give you an idea, we're talking again about the IMDB. And is it down to bottom. Yeah, if you go to related items external here, I'll give you the link to the actual. There we go. And then it will bring you to Max's IMDB site, which is really great because there are so many times that and for actors and actresses, directors, producers, that you can gain more information off of the IMDB than you can off of family search sometimes. So if you're building that biography. This is a bold mind site. Yeah, so the under there in miscellaneous sites. There's a link to tree. Oh, no, you passed it. It's right there right there. Yeah. And I wonder what happened. There you go. And I post back a who would have ever guessed that people that were viewing IMDB would find a wiki tree link. Yeah, and see, yeah, so there's the people that one group of people that would be great to get them at it, especially as those that have been on the shows, the genealogy TV shows. And there's actually a category in wiki tree for for those two. So anyway, there are lots of lots of different ways to link back and share wiki tree love. There's I think the best thing to do, like if we see a place that we could share information about wiki tree to a link. I'm going to guess that you probably have already thought because you're on top of your game, you thought about everything more ideas or more ways to do it. That's what it's going to say. And if you happen to find that unicorn link that is or doesn't have out then contact her because it's great. It wanted the newest one is Mastodon. Yeah. So I mean wiki tree is everywhere. You can share on on all your social media, your Facebooks and your Instagrams. I'm a Twitter girl. I am. I usually like to see what they post up on Twitter. And it's just easy to share and speaking of share and make sure that if you're watching this video this YouTube that you click like, because that helps wiki tree as well. That helps get the prominence of wiki tree a little bit better. Their analytics better. Yeah, like and subscribe, share. So I think let's go ahead and start the first bingo game. I'm going to go ahead and post it again for those that just came in and thank you all for coming into our bingo today. I love it because we get to talk about projects and even though I am a member of this project. I still learn a lot when we have a guest come in. I still learn a lot and it's great to see and I will not get past this reunion kit. I love it. Yeah, and one thing that I just learned about was place called post to post it's a Daniel Loftus was sharing about it on his social media accounts and so we're going to look into that and see about using it for wiki tree. That one that one was a wait list and they just released their wait list, so that it was trying to get employees. And I noticed about two weeks ago, I finally got off the wait list so that's a great one to awesome. Okay, so it's everybody ready to play bingo know a couple things about the bingo. Let me do full screen. Here's the first word that we're going to put up and it can be horizontal vertical or diagonal in every word that you see has something to do with the master's project. So, as or if you see something pop up that you think people need to know or see, or understand, then feel free. I'll let you pop in. So first one is Juma. Twitter. And I did forget one very important thing. The first person that types bingo is the winner of a t shirt or the extremely coveted it is very coveted Friday night bingo mug, or any other mug you want but I recommend the Friday night bingo mug. So remember if you get bingo, you got to be the first one to type it. And I agree with Pam. Good luck everybody. Retweet. And yes, please anytime you're on Twitter you see anything from wiki tree just quick retreat doesn't take long. LinkedIn. That's another good one that we didn't talk about. Yeah. If you have a LinkedIn profile, make sure to add wiki tree in a link to your profile on wiki tree. And we actually have a wiki tree group on LinkedIn. So there's the company wiki tree that you can tag on your with your posts, but there's also a group of us that are on there. Now how do they get to the group. Let you know. Yeah, just let us know and we'll, we'll let you get you added. Okay, great. And wiki tree love this is where I call like the graphics to is a lot of wiki tree love. Yeah. There are so many graphics out there we kind of briefly touched on it. I think it was during a mags I think is the one that shared it during the live cast of the cards. Yeah. Yeah. And so I and I also shared shared about it on my video that I just did about sharing wiki tree out to your social media. And it talks about how to do, but there's a lot of cards out there. For forums is a good one. That's another team that we have for the ambassadors. And we're talking about forums. Is this like Reddit. Yeah, Reddit and Korra. Yeah. Snapchat for you snappers out there. And I'm fairly new to this. I just started started to count and had my first step. You did. Yeah, last week. So that was great. Tick tock. I don't do tick tock because I think it's, I think I'm too old for it. But I do find them interesting. As a matter of fact, I think, you know, had shared she just joined tick tock and shared a branch one with me that where we were cracking up over. This is a huge one there. I mean, you have the state historical societies, you have county, you have regions, you have certain little historical societies about a particular group or immigrant group. There are so many historical societies. And if everybody that was a part of a historical society reached out and tried to encourage the membership to come to wiki tree, or encourage the news letter writer to actually make a little comment about joining wiki tree, we would explode. Yeah, and also maybe write an article for your historical society that's link, you know, sharing a wiki tree profile. So that's what I did. Hopefully it'll be out in next year is the peasley society. It's a name, or actually it's peasley clan. I did an article for one of my ancestors and so hopefully they'll, they'll be posting that soon. All right, we got our bingo. Cool. Usually takes longer. Okay, so here's the deal, Pam, to get your prize. You need to email you went and tell her that you won the bingo game number one, or the ambassador project. Congratulations, that's awesome. Again, I highly highly recommend the Friday night bingo mug is really cool. I really like it. I just got mine as a matter of fact. So, or, you know, any month or anything that you think that you would rather have that's fine too. Okay, so what did we miss then on the main page for ambassadors because I think we talked about the social media. The form we talked about term bingo but here's a couple areas the wiki tree hang out the gene genealogy server on discord that was a really great one. Yep. And I know a lot of you are on that too. So if you do an interesting profile or have an interesting comment to make about a character or maybe you want some more help post up there the link to the profile on the genealogy server on discord. And that'll also bring them right on back to us. Yeah, and, and like, I don't know if you noticed but on the link building page you could see the little image I shared for the flowers that I leave on find a grave memorial. Yeah, it's back up there right here. Yeah, go up a little bit on the image on the right hand side. You know where there it is. There it is. You can see there my, my actual username on find a grave is my wiki tree profile is it on wiki tree. So that's just another little way that you can share, you know, like on family search that's my user ID as well. It's my wiki tree profile ID so it's just in like on Reddit. Same thing. So on those forums, you know, on the genealogy server, you can tag that you're part of wiki tree. So those are just ways to share on those forums to is, you know, make sure you're in the group or somehow tag that you're part of wiki tree. That is really kind of brilliant to do that. Let me give you the card for the next one. Guys, give me just a second as I close down some things really fast like so you all don't see all the, you know, behind the curtain ideas. And there's your second card. But what I think is, is really brilliant about that is that your name is the wiki tree ID. And then you also say on wiki tree. I know that a lot of times I don't like to put my full name. So to me, this is a good alternative. Yeah. And you'll find also find a grave that a lot of people that if they recognize this will become like your find a grave friends to I don't think they call friends they call something else. So that's also a handy way to do it. Yeah. And let's say so I see like the link builders team. So if I want to be on the link builders team, what I would ask to join the ambassador project. Yeah. And then specifically say the link builders, which, which areas you're interested in basically, and if you are blogger then you would say blogger and then once you're you're on the team, you can come up here and every time you update your blog, which I'm a little bad about. Every time you update your blog, you update the entry here. So then others can look at it, share it. But also if you mentioning wiki tree in your blog, hopefully you are because you'll have a link back to a profile from a blog article you're writing, share that on social media. And then we'll all catch it as well because let's say that, you know, John is a link builder but he's not a blogger. He is on my Twitter. So it's another way that this just keeps coming back to us. Yeah, and wiki tree the wiki tree account then can also share your blog if you've written about wiki tree then we can share that and, you know, retweet it and get it out there. Yeah, that's really cool. But you know, I, I think, again, I keep saying this but I think people think the ambassadors group is just a one quick hey let me join and I'll just click like every once in a while on Facebook or maybe I'll share it is so much more than that. This is really one of the engines that keeps wiki tree free. Yeah, exactly. And the one thing that we did not really touch on. I don't know much about is wiki tree TV. We have a wiki tree TV. And, you know, if you put like Xbox maybe we need an Xbox game or something I know my would definitely join. And there's a lot of different things that we have here but it also talks about wiki tree is on YouTube, and it is a list of also the wiki tree events is it as cool. What do we see we see bingo. And don't forget for all of you guys here, come back in a couple hours at 6pm Eastern, and we've got another project to talk about. But this is really cool. This is playlist so if you missed, say mags Saturday live cast. It's here, you can come back and find it and click like, subscribe and you'll never miss another live mags webcast. Okay, let's talk about bingo then here, since we talked about live cast let's start the new car. I did not plan that that worked out really well. So we got live gas and keep in mind that during the thongs those are hangouts but those are still live cast as well. So when you guys are on the thongs watching the hangouts were live the profile of the week. And those. Yeah, so we do connect connection finder hashtag connection finder posts on Fridays for the profile the week, and the connection finder, you know, connections that are a part of that. So. That's right because another another project working with another project in integrating G to G. I know everybody knows this. But if you have a blog post that you put out. This is another place to post about it. Share your blog posts on G to G. And then make sure you tag it with bloggers and ambassadors, so that we can see that. That's a great idea I didn't think about the tagging for some reason. Presenters presenters to can can do their posts with you know, share that they're doing a presentation in GTG tag presenters tag social media or tag ambassadors, so that we can get get the word out about your presentation. Definitely give us enough time so we can schedule it to it was a week or so so we can definitely schedule you'll get a lot of wiki triggers I bet. Question of the week this is absolutely my favorite thing probably on Twitter. I look for the ambassadors project to post this every week I'm always curious dying to know what this is. And this week was a was a pretty big question I think. Yeah, and I, I share this. This is one of the ones I make sure to share every week to my return genealogy group on Facebook, and to my easily name study group so share to those. The question of the week is a great general one to share to to your groups that you're part of on social media. I would agree. It's just a no brainer for me just to look at it answer it and share notifications. Yeah, you want to make sure you're, you've got that setup so you get notified. You know, are you. You may watch the page but do you like it you follow it. Do you have your notifications turned on so that you see new YouTube videos when they come up. So just Friday night bingo. There we go. Handouts and we talked a little bit about this that you know you have the reunion handles but you also have some some information and presentation handouts for presenters. If they're presenting. That's just a gold mine. Everybody can can speak about wiki tree on a general level based on these handouts and then they can add in their unique experiences that they're presenting. Yeah, wiki tree videos and that's kind of what we just talked about with notification. But there's also other videos, like, for example, I know that you were doing videos for the ambassador group. I know Mindy has been doing videos for like specific topics the categories and how you categorize things and just all kinds of help videos so you two have been really contributing the videos as well and I know the DNA project has a tremendous amount of wiki tree videos as well. There's actually there's actually a page where and it's linked from the social media page. If you want to show show it. There's a page where we are listing out right there. Yeah videos about wiki tree so we list out all the different videos that are out there that may not have been done by wiki tree. But we're done by other people about wiki tree so you can find them all listed here. I mean this is great just looking through some of the topics these are really really great and you'll see for example dear Myrtle did quite a few. And the family history fanatics have done quite through how to build your family tree three reasons to use wiki tree. A quick tour from family tree magazine so you're right you're including a lot of different groups and organizations and individuals that love wiki tree and have found ways to discuss it in a video to help you guys out. Yeah and so that's that's why I started doing the training videos on how to like share wiki tree or to link back to it. This is the next video I'm going to do and so I've at the top I did an introduction video on what is wiki tree. So that's linked there too. So and then yeah at the very top there. Yeah this one's from Mindy the stop ones from Mindy. Yeah this one is from. Yeah anytime somebody else is linking to wiki tree in YouTube you know that all helps. So when you have you know all this everybody's talking about something it just helps those algorithms point more to wiki tree. Yeah this is something that got started on I'm sorry unmasked it on so this is shared people share what their brick wall is and if there's people around and they're interested in maybe help it out but this is another way. We got a bingo. All right. Another bingo. Congratulations. That is pretty cool. All right. What person let me go ahead and give you the information as well. What you'll want to do is email a one tell her that you won the second bingo game for the ambassadors project. You guys are pretty quick on winning this we put in a lot of words to make it a little bit longer because we knew that we were going to have a lot of things to talk about but you guys got the bingo pretty quick. That's awesome. I know that's pretty cool. Let me ask everybody. Do you have any specific questions or on the ambassadors group or anything that we talked about real quick. I know we didn't go in great detail. Or if you would like to go ahead and check out the ambassadors group page and everything that you need I think is pretty much there to get you started. But as you can definitely answer any questions you might have if you've got some right now to make it easy for you to find out what the questions you might have. I think everybody like myself will probably be surprised to see how much you do with this project. It's a lot. It's a lot of fun. Well, this is true. Well, let me ask you this. This has been a question of the day in discord is the temperature where you live. I know I'm in Atlanta and it is 16 degrees but with windshield it feels minus one and I can tell you Atlanteans do not deal with this well. Yeah, it was negative one when I got up this morning and our brakes are frozen. Oh my. Oh no. That's an adventure. I hope everybody is warm and I really appreciate everybody jumping here and joining us for the bingo with the ambassadors project. I love this project. This is one of my favorite so on wiki tree. I think it's probably one of my first two that I saw that I joined. And if you have any questions, you can go to the project page. Oh, minus seven with the wind. 35. That's crazy. That's like, oh, that's cold. And then don't forget for those of you that one to email a one and let her know and also if you forget or something will kind of nudge you and remind you and at 6pm tonight is another project and that one will be the Appalachia project. And you will be kind of laughing through that the bingo words are interesting. I will pretty much leave it at that they are pretty interesting words there, but I guess that's it then thanks so much for joining us as for the bingo and thanks so much everybody for joining us with the bingo and we'll see you in a couple hours. Bye. Bye.
