Presenter: Marlene Martineau
Guest Speaker: Lauri Stevens
Released: Thursday, April 1, 2010
Duration: 60 minutes
Topics: Social Media, Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin
Everywhere you turn there is talk about social media—the grocery store, doctor’s office, and even courts and justice agencies are using web 2.0.
Web 2.0 encompasses a wide range of online platforms, including social media networks, blogs, and forums. Web 2.0 is tearing down barriers and giving anyone and everyone a voice with the power to reach millions.
Social media includes everything from Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, and much more–but don’t think you have to be on every network, because you don’t and shouldn’t be. Your efforts in social media are better focused on one or two different platforms.
