Social Media Series

We keep hearing about "social media", or some call it "Web 2.0". What is it, and how can you use it to help build your business? Should you use Facebook or Twitter? Should you blog or use LinkedIn?

In this series, Tom will talk about the different aspects of what social media really is, cut through the noise, and help you get a basic understanding of how and why you should (or shouldn't) use it. In each session, we'll cover different topics. Each session will build upon the last, but you do not need to attend all of them to get value.
