Introduction to Social Media

Most of us in the workforce are "Digital Immigrants," meaning that we didn't grow up with technology like our Generation Y colleagues (full-fledged "Digital Natives").  As a result, we can often feel overwhelmed by the technology that we know we can no longer ignore if we want to stay current in the workforce.  This is why we created a hands-on workshop that walks participants through most major social networks and internet tools explaining how people are using them to network, market and build their own personal and professional brands. 

Join Diane K. Danielson, CEO and founder of the Downtown Women's Club, and learn how to use RSS feeds, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and blogging for business. Also find out:

• The lifecycle of a Web 2.0 story.
• Why the first 5 words of a press release are the only ones that matter
• How to monitor your online reputation.
• Why they keep misspelling "Digg" and "del.icio.us."
• Is it really a wiki, wiki world?
