LinkedIn is the premier professional Social Media channel. It currently has over
   75 million members. 80% of American companies plan to use Social Media for recruiting.
76% of them are on LinkedIn. LinkedIn's Questions and Answers is a great way to
get informed, timely information about just about anything you need to know: in
my home we have successfully used it recently to get advice about a new camera,
a new laptop computer, resources to learn about fund raising, and web-based software
tools for collaboration on projects. LinkedIn's Groups allow professionals to associate
themselves with people in the same field or geographical area; this makes it very
easy to grow a network. We'll take a look at Profiles, Contacts, Recommendations,
Search, Questions and Answers, Groups, and free Applications.

Twitter - Turners Falls, April 20, 2010
The Rendezvous, 78 3rd Street, Turners Falls
Twitter is a LOT more than people announcing that they're on their way to lunch.
   Twitter has been called the nervous system of the internet. ALL news now breaks
   FIRST on Twitter. Twitter is more of a protocol or platform than a place. Tweets
(Twitter posts) are limited to 140 characters, but the service has infinite flexibility.
It is being used for: customer service, market research, sociological research,
personal branding, publishing links to other information (blogs, Facebook, LinkedIn,
etc), and a lot more. We'll talk about Twitter tools for analysis, research and
other purposes. Paradoxically, widespread Twitter use has led to the growth of Tweetups,
which are local networking events for people who meet online. For reservations:
413-863-2866
